- Scheduled Visit: 2–3 hour arrival window with a text when we’re en route.

Cost & Factors (Straight Talk)
Pricing depends on:
- Plant count & size (small foundation shrubs vs. mature hedges)
- Access & complexity (slopes, tight beds, fencing, obstacles)
- Desired finish (natural shape vs. crisp box/sphere hedging)
- Debris volume (bagging vs. haul-away)
- Visit frequency (one-time, two-visit plan, or custom schedule)
Send a couple photos and your street/town—we’ll reply with a clear, firm quote and the next available route day.
Property Prep Tips (Optional but Helpful)
- Mark any do-not-trim plants or new plantings.
- Unlock gates and clear items near shrubs (hoses, toys, décor).
- Let us know about irrigation heads or low-voltage lighting close to shrubs.
After-Service: What You’ll Notice
- Crisp, even lines that sharpen the whole front elevation
- Safer walkways and steps with branches pulled back
- Tidier beds that make mulch and rock accents pop
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should bushes be trimmed?
Most properties look best with two trims per year—late spring/early summer and late summer/early fall.
Can you shape hedges into boxes or spheres?
Yes. We can maintain natural forms or create crisp geometric shapes—tell us your preference.
Do you remove the debris?
Yes. Haul-away is standard; curbside staging/bagging is available if your town offers yard-waste pickup.
Will trimming hurt my plants?
We use proper cut techniques and avoid heavy reductions during stress periods. If a plant needs more than a light trim, we’ll discuss a phased approach.
Can you trim around landscape lighting and low windows?
Absolutely. We maintain sightlines and clearances for windows, lights, and paths.
