Shrub & Hedge Trimming

Keep Your Landscaping Looking Great

Your shrubs and hedges play a big role in your property's curb appeal. When they're neatly trimmed and well-shaped, your whole yard looks maintained and inviting. But when they get overgrown, they make everything look messy, block views, and can even damage your home's siding or foundation.

Regular shrub and hedge trimming isn't just about appearance. Proper trimming keeps plants healthy by removing dead or diseased growth, encourages fuller and more compact growth, and prevents branches from becoming too heavy and breaking. We provide professional trimming services throughout Syracuse that keep your landscaping in top shape year-round.

Best Times for Shrub and Hedge Trimming

Most shrubs and hedges need trimming two to three times per year to stay looking their best. The timing depends on the type of plant and when it blooms. Spring-blooming shrubs like lilacs and forsythia should be trimmed right after they flower. Summer-blooming plants can be trimmed in late winter or early spring.

Formal hedges that you keep in specific shapes need more frequent trimming, sometimes every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season. We know the right timing for all the common shrubs and hedges in Syracuse. Along with regular shrub work, our tree trimming services in Syracuse keep your entire landscape properly maintained.

Why Hire Professional Hedge Trimmers

While many homeowners trim their own small shrubs, professional trimming makes a noticeable difference, especially for large hedges or multiple shrubs. We have the right tools to create clean, even cuts that promote healthy growth. Electric and gas-powered hedge trimmers give much better results than hand shears for formal hedges.

Professional trimming also saves you time and effort. Large hedge rows can take hours to trim properly, and working on tall hedges requires ladders and safety equipment. We handle the work efficiently and clean up all the clippings when we're done. If you need more than just trimming, we also provide complete tree trimming and pruning services to maintain your entire landscape.
