Landscape Pruning Services

Hedge pruning or hedge trimming and shrub pruning are key to maintaining a beautiful property. It is best to employ an arborist. However, usually a landscape person performs these services due to cost. For larger hedges and shrubs, an arborist should be employed. Royal Wood Tree Service provides arborist hedge pruning (hedge trimming) and shrub pruning. Unless hedges or shrubs are pruned on a regular basis (minimum annually), they will become larger until they’re overgrown or they become trees. Proper pruning maintains their size (including roots) and beauty, while also enhancing your property’s value. In addition to our tree pruning services, Royal Wood Tree Service specializes in landscape services by focusing on medium to large sized hedges and shrubs, including the following:

Hedge Pruning or Shrub Pruning – routine maintenance of hedges and shrubs
Hedge Reduction or Shrub Reduction – for restoration of overgrown hedges/shrubs when appropriate (e.g. wide cedar hedges cannot be reduced in width)
Hedge Removal or Shrub Removal – best solution when your hedges/shrubs are unsuitable or significantly overgrown
