Trimming & shaping

Tree and Shrub Trimming

In our climate, hedges and shrubs can double in size in a single season. Proper trimming keeps plants healthy, keeps windows and walkways clear, and helps trees stand up better to storm winds. We shape for health first, then for looks.

What this service includes

  • Hedge shaping and height reduction
  • Ornamental tree pruning and thinning
  • Clearing plants away from the house, roof and walkways
  • Removal of dead, damaged or crossing branches
  • Haul-away of all clippings

When homeowners call us

  • Hedges have grown over windows or the walkway
  • Branches rub the roof or screen enclosure
  • Getting ready for hurricane season
  • Plants look leggy or bare at the bottom

How the project goes

  • Walk the property and mark what needs attention.
  • Agree on shape, height and priorities.
  • Trim, thin and clean up.
  • Haul away debris and leave the yard tidy.

Homeowner questions

When is the best time to trim?

Many shrubs can be trimmed year-round here, but heavy tree thinning is best done before hurricane season.

Do you take the clippings?

Yes, cleanup and haul-away are included.

Can you fix a hedge that's been cut badly?

Often, yes — it may take a couple of trims to bring back a full shape.
