Shrub & Hedge Trimming
Professional trimming that keeps your shrubs and hedges neat, healthy, and beautifully shaped.
The Difference Professional Trimming Makes
Shrubs and hedges are the foundation of your landscaping, but they need regular trimming to look their best. Untrimmed shrubs grow wild and lose their shape. Hedges become patchy with bare spots and uneven growth. What should be attractive landscape features turn into eyesores that make your whole property look neglected. In Four Corners, FL, our growing season means shrubs grow fast and need consistent attention to stay under control.
Regular trimming does more than just improve appearance. It promotes dense, healthy growth that fills in bare spots and creates the full, lush look you want. Proper trimming removes dead or diseased branches before problems spread. And keeping shrubs at the right size prevents them from blocking windows, interfering with walkways, or damaging your home's foundation and siding. Well-maintained shrubs enhance your property value and curb appeal significantly.
We handle everything so you don't need to struggle with manual trimmers or worry about uneven results. Our professional trimming service delivers consistent, attractive results that keep your landscaping looking polished year-round. Combined with tree trimming services, we provide complete care for all your landscape plantings.

How We Trim Your Shrubs
Step 1: Assessment and Planning
We start by examining your shrubs and understanding your vision. Some clients want formal, geometric shapes while others prefer natural, soft appearances. We identify any health issues, check for pest damage, and determine which plants need aggressive pruning versus light shaping. This planning ensures we deliver exactly the look you want.
Step 2: Precise Trimming
Using sharp, professional equipment, we trim each shrub according to its species and your preferences. We create clean, even lines on formal hedges and natural shapes on informal plantings. Dead or diseased branches are removed. Growth is thinned to improve air circulation and light penetration. Every cut is made at the right location to encourage healthy new growth.
Step 3: Cleanup and Finishing
After trimming, we thoroughly clean up all clippings and debris. Your beds are left neat and mulched if needed. We can also provide advice on watering and care to help your shrubs recover quickly from trimming. For comprehensive landscape care, our tree health and maintenance services ensure all your plantings stay in top condition.
When and How Often to Trim
Most shrubs and hedges benefit from trimming 2 to 4 times per year depending on their growth rate and purpose. Formal hedges that require precise shapes need more frequent trimming than informal shrubs. Fast-growing species need attention more often than slow growers. In Four Corners, FL, our year-round growing season means plants don't go fully dormant, so regular maintenance keeps them looking good continuously.
Timing matters for flowering shrubs. Trimming at the wrong time can remove flower buds and leave you with no blooms that season. Spring-blooming plants should be trimmed right after flowering. Summer bloomers can be trimmed in late winter or early spring. We know the right timing for different species so you get both healthy plants and beautiful flowers.
