Our Hedge and Bush Maintenance Services

Privacy Hedge Trimming and Topping Tall hedges like Italian Cypress, Photinia, and Privet provide excellent privacy, but they can quickly become unmanageable. We use professional-grade equipment and specialized ladders to trim even the tallest hedges, ensuring straight lines, even thickness, and a height that suits your property’s needs.

Ornamental Shrub Shaping Decorative bushes such as Boxwoods, Junipers, and Hollies require regular "shaping" to maintain their intended form. We offer both formal geometric shaping (cubes and spheres) and naturalistic thinning to ensure your shrubs complement your home's architecture and garden design.

Overgrowth Reclamation If your bushes have grown over walkways, blocked windows, or started encroaching on your neighbor’s yard, we provide heavy pruning to push back the growth. We focus on rejuvenating the plant by removing old, woody interior branches to encourage fresh, green growth on the outside.

Shrub Removal and Root Clearing Sometimes a bush has simply outgrown its space or died due to disease. We offer complete removal services, including the clearing of root balls, so you can start fresh with a new planting or a clean landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hedge and Bush Care

How often should my hedges be trimmed?
For most residential properties in Roseville, we recommend trimming two to three times per year. A late spring trim handles the initial growth spurt, while a late summer or fall touch-up keeps the lines sharp and prevents the interior of the hedge from becoming too woody or thin.

Can you trim very tall privacy hedges?
Yes. Economy Tree Service Inc is equipped with the professional ladders and long-reach hedging equipment necessary to maintain tall privacy screens like Italian Cypress, Photinia, and Leyland Cypress. We ensure the tops are level and the sides are tapered correctly to allow sunlight to reach the bottom of the hedge.

My bushes are overgrown and blocking my windows. Can they be saved?
In many cases, yes. We perform rejuvenation pruning, which involves cutting back the overgrowth to a more manageable size. While the plant may look a bit "woody" immediately after a heavy cut, it typically flushes out with fresh, green growth within a single growing season.

Why is my hedge turning brown in some spots?
Brown spots can be caused by several factors, including lack of water, pests like spider mites, or improper pruning that exposes the "dead zone" (the leafless interior) to direct sun. Our team can inspect your hedge to determine the cause and recommend a pruning or care plan to restore its health.

Do you remove the debris after trimming?
Absolutely. Hedge trimming creates a significant amount of small clippings that can be difficult to rake up. We provide comprehensive cleanup as part of our service, blowing out your garden beds and hauling away all debris so your property looks immaculate when we leave.

What is the difference between "shearing" and "thinning"?
Shearing involves using power trimmers to create a smooth, formal surface, which is great for boxwoods and privacy walls. Thinning is a hand-pruning technique used to remove specific branches to improve airflow and light penetration. Economy Tree Service Inc uses both methods depending on the species and the look you want to achieve.
