Summer Shrub Maintenance
Your hedges and shrubs are in their peak growth phase. We are currently performing light shaping and trimming to maintain the health and structure of your plants without causing heat-related stress.
Your hedges have made decisions you did not approve.
They've grown into the walkway. They're blocking the light. One of them has developed a distinct lean toward your neighbor's property that feels intentional.
Allterior shapes, trims, and cleans up hedges so they look like they belong to someone who has things under control. You don't have to be that person. You just have to hire us.
What's included
- •Hedges shaped and trimmed to size
- •Shrubs and ornamentals cleaned up
- •All clippings hauled away
- •Two hours covered in the Greenery package, priced by hedge count beyond that
What actually matters with hedge & shrub trimming
Timing is the whole game with shrubs. Spring bloomers like forsythia, lilac, and azalea set next year's flower buds right after they finish blooming — cut them in fall or late winter and you've removed the flowers before they ever opened. Summer bloomers set buds on new growth, so they're trimmed in late winter instead.
Shape matters too. A hedge trimmed narrower at the top than the bottom lets light reach the lower branches, so it stays full to the ground instead of going bare and leggy underneath. And we cut back to healthy wood — most evergreens won't regrow from bare old wood, so hard-shearing a badly overgrown yew or arborvitae can leave a permanent hole.
Signs your property needs it
- •Branches into walkways, windows, or blocking light
- •Bare, woody legs at the bottom with growth only on top
- •Uneven, lopsided shape or a lean toward one side
- •Dead interior branches visible through the outer growth
How we do it
- 1. Identify — Every shrub trimmed on its own schedule based on how and when it flowers.
- 2. Shape — Wider at the base than the top so lower growth keeps getting light.
- 3. Thin — Dead and crossing interior branches removed so air moves through and disease pressure drops.
- 4. Clean up — All clippings collected and hauled off the property.
Why it's different in New Jersey
Deer pressure is real across much of Monmouth, Middlesex, and Union County. Where browsing has already thinned a shrub, we trim conservatively and let it recover rather than shearing it back into a bare frame.
