Shrub Trimming & Pruning
Shrub trimming is about plant health as much as looks. We prune each species at the right time of year and cut back to healthy growth points, so your shrubs stay dense, keep blooming, and don't turn into bare woody stumps after a few seasons.

- All clippings hauled away, beds left clean

Common questions
When should shrubs be trimmed in Pennsylvania?+
Spring-flowering shrubs like lilac and forsythia get pruned right after bloom. Summer bloomers and evergreens do best in late winter or early spring.
How often do shrubs need trimming?+
Most foundation shrubs need one to two trims per season. Fast growers like privet and burning bush often want two.
Can overgrown shrubs be saved?+
Usually yes. Many species tolerate hard rejuvenation pruning over two to three seasons rather than removal.
Shrub trimming vs. hedge trimming — what's the difference?+
Shrub trimming shapes individual plants to their natural form. Hedge trimming shears a continuous row into a uniform wall.
Do you remove the clippings?+
Always. Haul-away is included in every trimming price.
Will trimming hurt my flowering shrubs?+
Not when timed right. Cutting at the wrong time removes next year's flower buds, which is why we prune by species instead of all at once.

A sheared hedge only looks good if the lines are true. We string-line long runs, taper the sides so sunlight reaches the bottom, and keep the top level — which is exactly why our hedges stay full instead of going bare at the base.
