Benefits of Regular Trimming

Regular trimming does much more than make shrubs look nice. Proper pruning keeps plants healthy by removing dead or diseased branches before problems spread. Trimming encourages dense, compact growth that looks fuller and more attractive. Well-maintained hedges provide better privacy screening than neglected ones that grow sparse and leggy.

In Port Arthur's climate, shrubs and hedges grow quickly during our long growing season. What looks perfect in spring can become overgrown by late summer without proper maintenance. Regular trimming controls size, maintains shape, and prevents plants from outgrowing their space or blocking windows, walkways, and views.

Our Trimming Services

We handle all types of shrub and hedge trimming projects. Formal hedges get precision shearing to maintain geometric shapes and uniform height. Informal shrubs receive selective pruning that enhances their natural form while keeping size under control. Foundation plantings are shaped to complement your home's architecture without blocking windows or crowding entryways.

Our crew uses professional-grade tools including sharp hedge trimmers, pruning shears, and pole pruners for tall plants. Sharp, clean tools make precise cuts that heal quickly and resist disease. We understand proper timing for different plant species so we trim when it benefits the plant most without sacrificing next season's flowers.

After trimming, we clean up completely. All clippings are gathered and removed, leaving your property spotless. For larger landscape projects that combine shrubs with trees, our tree trimming services handle everything at once. We also offer ongoing maintenance programs for properties that want scheduled care throughout the year.

When and How Often to Trim

Most shrubs and hedges benefit from trimming 2 to 3 times per year in our climate. Fast-growing species like ligustrum, photinia, and wax myrtle may need attention 3 to 4 times annually to maintain shape. Slower-growing ornamentals might only need once or twice. Timing depends on the specific plants and your aesthetic goals.

We typically recommend major shaping in early spring before new growth starts. Light maintenance trimming during summer keeps plants under control during peak growing season. Late summer or early fall trimming prepares plants for winter. For flowering shrubs, we time trimming to avoid cutting off next season's flower buds.

The best approach is a regular maintenance schedule tailored to your property. We can set up recurring visits so your shrubs always look their best without you having to remember to call. Consistent care prevents plants from becoming overgrown, which means each trimming takes less time and costs less than sporadic emergency pruning.
