Keep Your Hedges Healthy and Tidy

Regular trimming isn’t just about looks—it also keeps your hedges dense, healthy and under control. Overgrown hedges can block windows, sidewalks and driveways, and can quickly make the whole yard feel messy.

Benefits of regular hedge trimming:

  • Improves curb appeal and first impressions

  • Keeps hedges dense and healthy instead of thin and woody

  • Prevents overgrowth onto walkways, driveways and neighbours’ yards

  • Helps maintain clear sightlines for vehicles and pedestrians

  • Keeps your property looking maintained between full yard cleanups

Hedge Trimming Services We Offer

Whether you need a light touch-up or a full shape-up on overgrown hedges, we can scale the work to your property.

Regular Hedge Maintenance

For hedges that just need a tidy up and light shaping. We trim for clean lines, consistent height and a balanced look from all sides.

Shaping and Detail Work

If you want a sharper, more finished appearance, we’ll carefully shape the hedge faces and top for crisp edges while still protecting plant health.

Overgrown Hedge Recovery

When hedges have been neglected for a while, we can carefully bring them back under control over one or more visits, removing excess height and bulk while keeping the plants as healthy as possible.

Shrub and Small Tree Pruning

We can also trim shrubs and small ornamental trees around walkways, decks, driveways and fences to keep everything neat and accessible.

How Our Hedge Trimming Service Works

Step 1 – On-site Review

Contact us with a brief description of your hedges and we'll drop by at your convenience to finalize an affordable quote.  When we arrive, we walk the property with you to confirm the height, shape and exact areas to be trimmed. Your satisfaction is our goal and we'll work hard to accommodate your project. You'll be fully briefed on the cost before we book you in.  No surprises!

Step 2 – Careful Trimming and Full Cleanup

We trim your hedges to the agreed height and shape, working carefully to avoid gouges or flat spots. Once trimming is complete, we rake and blow off walkways, driveways, decks and lawn areas, and collect the clippings.

Step 3 – Disposal and Final Check

We can haul away the hedge clippings for you, or leave them neatly bagged at the curb if you prefer to handle disposal yourself. Before we leave, we do a quick walkthrough to make sure you’re happy with the result.

Hedge Trimming Pricing

Every property is a little different, but our goal is simple: clear, upfront pricing with no surprises.

We base your hedge trimming quote on:

  • Total length and height of hedges

  • How overgrown they are (light touch-up vs heavy cut-back)

  • Access for ladders and equipment

  • Whether you’d like us to haul away all clippings

You’ll always receive a firm price before we start, not a rough estimate that changes later.

Hedge Trimming FAQs

Do you take away all the hedge clippings?

Yes, we can haul away all clippings as part of the service, or we can pile or bag them neatly at the curb or in a designated spot if you prefer to handle disposal yourself. Just let us know your preference when you book.

Can you trim hedges near power lines or utility wires?

We work safely around buildings, fences and standard overhead lines, but if hedges are in direct contact with hydro lines or very close to live wires, we may recommend contacting the utility company first. Safety always comes first.

Will hedge trimming damage my plants?

When done correctly, trimming actually helps hedges stay dense and healthy. We avoid cutting too far back into old wood where possible, and we’ll let you know if a hedge is severely overgrown and may require more than one visit to fully recover its shape.

Do you trim hedges at rental or multi-unit properties?

Yes.  We regularly maintain hedges at rentals, duplexes and small multi-unit properties. We can coordinate with landlords, property managers or tenants to schedule service at a convenient time.
