Overview
Clean shapes that keep shrubs healthy, not just short
Good trimming is about more than taking length off. Shrubs should be shaped slightly wider at the bottom than the top so sunlight reaches the lower branches — that's what keeps a hedge full instead of bare at the base.
We trim with sharp tools for clean cuts, keep natural forms where they belong, and finish by raking clippings out of your beds and off the lawn.

02
Overgrown shrub cut-backs
Shrubs that have been let go for a few seasons can often be brought back. Depending on the plant, we'll cut back in stages so it recovers well instead of being shocked by one hard prune.
If something is too far gone or in the wrong spot, we'll tell you honestly — and can help replace it through our landscaping service.
03
Trimming at the right time
Most shrubs in Lima are best trimmed in late spring or early summer after their new growth, with a light touch-up later in summer if needed. Spring-flowering shrubs like lilac and forsythia should be trimmed right after they bloom so you don't cut off next year's flowers.
We avoid heavy pruning late in fall, when new growth won't have time to harden off before winter.

How often should hedges be trimmed?
Most hedges look best with one to two trims per year. Fast-growing or formal hedges may need more to stay sharp.
Can you fix shrubs that are really overgrown?
Often, yes. Many shrubs can be reduced over one or two seasons. We'll be straight with you if replacing makes more sense.
Do you clean up the clippings?
Always. Clippings are raked out of beds, blown off hard surfaces and hauled away.
Can you trim tall hedges?
Tell us the height when you request a quote and include a photo — we'll let you know what we can safely take care of.
