Shrub & Hedge Trimming

Keep Your Shrubs and Hedges Looking Great

Shrubs and hedges are an important part of your landscape design. They provide privacy, create boundaries, add color and texture to your yard, and frame your home beautifully. But without regular trimming, they quickly become overgrown, shapeless, and messy. Overgrown shrubs block windows, crowd walkways, and make your entire property look neglected.

At RightWorks Richfield Tree Services, we specialize in keeping your shrubs and hedges perfectly maintained. Our team has the skills and equipment to trim shrubs of all types and sizes. We shape hedges into clean, uniform lines and prune shrubs to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowers. Regular trimming keeps your landscaping looking professional year after year.

Why Regular Shrub Trimming Matters

Trimming your shrubs and hedges is not just about appearance. Here is what proper trimming does for your landscaping:

• •Keeps shrubs compact and shaped so they look intentional and well-maintained instead of wild and overgrown
• •Encourages new growth by removing old or dead branches that prevent healthy growth
• •Improves flowering in shrubs like lilacs, hydrangeas, and roses by pruning at the right time
• •Prevents pest and disease problems by increasing air circulation through dense shrubs
• •Maintains privacy hedges at the perfect height and thickness to block views effectively
• •Increases curb appeal making your entire property look cared for and valuable

Our Shrub and Hedge Trimming Process

We start by looking at your shrubs and hedges to see what shape they are in and what you want them to look like. Some customers prefer a formal, geometric look with straight lines and sharp corners. Others want a more natural, flowing appearance. We can do both, and everything in between.

When we trim, we use professional tools that make clean cuts without damaging the plants. This is important because ragged cuts invite disease and pests. We trim hedges to maintain consistent height and width, and we shape individual shrubs to bring out their natural form while keeping them under control. If your shrubs bloom, we time our trimming so you do not lose flowers.

After trimming, we clean up all the clippings and debris. You do not have to do anything except enjoy how good your yard looks. Most properties need shrub trimming two or three times during the growing season to keep everything looking its best. We can set up a regular maintenance schedule so your shrubs always look great without you having to remember to call us.
