A great hedge is shaped — not just hacked flat.
Hedges are living screens, and how you cut them determines whether they stay lush or thin out into a woody mess. Cutting them flat-topped or too hard bare the centre and weakens the base.
We trim to a slightly tapered shape so light reaches the whole plant, keeping your hedge dense, green, and healthy from top to bottom — with crisp, even lines.
From a single cedar run to a whole property of shrubs, we leave it sharp and cleaned up.

Questions Homeowners Ask Us
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Most formal hedges look best with one to two trims a year — typically early summer and again in early fall. Fast growers like privet may want more.
Why is my cedar hedge going brown?
Often from cutting back into old bare wood or shearing too flat. We shape with a healthy taper so light keeps the whole plant green.
Can you reduce the height of a tall hedge?
Yes, within limits for the species. Some hedges can be brought down hard; others need staged reductions to stay healthy.
Do you take away the clippings?
Always — all clippings are collected and hauled away as part of the job.
Can you shape ornamental shrubs too?
Yes, we prune and shape a wide range of shrubs and ornamentals, not just hedges.
