Comprehensive Shrub & Hedge Services

We provide complete shrub and hedge care services tailored to your landscape's specific needs. Formal hedge trimming creates clean, geometric shapes for privacy hedges and foundation plantings using precise cutting techniques. Natural form pruning maintains the organic shape of informal shrubs while controlling size and promoting health. Rejuvenation pruning restores overgrown or neglected shrubs through selective removal of old growth.

Flowering shrub pruning is timed to maximize blooms while maintaining attractive form. Topiary maintenance shapes ornamental plantings into artistic forms. We also provide seasonal cleanup, removing dead foliage and preparing plants for optimal growth. Our team uses sharp, professional tools and proper techniques that promote rapid healing and minimize stress to plants. All trimmings and debris are removed from your property, leaving your landscape clean and beautiful.

Optimal Trimming Schedule

The frequency and timing of shrub and hedge trimming depends on plant species, growth rate, and desired appearance. Fast-growing hedges like privet or ligustrum may need trimming every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to maintain formal shapes. Slower-growing shrubs typically require trimming 2-3 times per year. Flowering shrubs should be pruned according to their bloom cycle to avoid removing flower buds.

In Florida's climate, most shrubs benefit from trimming in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, with additional maintenance during the growing season as needed. Our team can develop a customized maintenance schedule that keeps your shrubs and hedges looking their best year-round. We also offer comprehensive tree trimming and pruning services to maintain all aspects of your landscape. For complete property care, our tree health and maintenance programs ensure all your plantings receive professional attention.
