Our reputation is built on expert tree care, but we also offer specialized hedge trimming and pruning services through our dedicated hedge division. Whether you’re dealing with years of overgrowth or simply want to maintain the clean lines and health of your landscape, our team is equipped to handle it all with precision and care. Our hedge crew typically consists of 2–3 trained professionals who arrive with the right tools for the job. We use a combination of ladders, a small bucket truck, handheld pruners, extension pruners, and long-reach trimmers to safely and effectively reach the tops of even the tallest, most challenging hedges. Many of our clients move into new homes where the hedges have been neglected for years, or they’ve maintained their landscape themselves but now find it too difficult or unsafe to continue. Large hedges can become overwhelming, especially as they mature. That’s where we come in. We offer a professional, efficient solution that takes the burden off your hands. In addition to trimming, we manage all debris removal. We bring a chipper and clean up everything we cut, leaving you with a beautifully maintained property, not piles of branches or yard waste. The optimal time for hedge trimming is often after the flowering period, typically in July and August. This season, in particular, has seen significant growth due to increased rainfall following last year’s drought. Many shrubs, hedges, and small trees respond with vigorous growth, making timely trimming essential to maintain shape, structure, and health. Regular hedge pruning enhances the aesthetic appeal of your property and supports plant health by encouraging stronger growth patterns and preventing long-term structural issues. If your hedges are overdue for maintenance or you’re simply ready to hand the job over to experienced professionals, we’re here to help. To schedule hedge trimming or learn more about our services, please contact us at (860) 888-8472 or (860) 798-2897. We’re happy to discuss your needs and provide a solution that leaves your landscape looking its best, season after season. Tired of Overgrown Hedges? Let Our Professional Crew Handle It
