FAQ – Bush & Shrub Trimming (Bethlehem, PA)
How often should shrubs be trimmed in Bethlehem?
Most hedges and common foundation shrubs look best with 2–3 trims per season. Flowering shrubs are pruned according to bloom timing (after bloom for spring bloomers; late winter/early spring for summer bloomers).
Do you haul away debris?
Yes. Choose haul-away, on-site bagging, or curb move-out for municipal pickup. Haul-away may include a disposal fee.
Will trimming now ruin next season’s flowers?
It can if you cut at the wrong time. We identify species and schedule the trim to protect blooms (e.g., lilac/azalea right after bloom; panicle hydrangea in late winter).
Can you fix an overgrown or butchered hedge?
Yes—via rejuvenation pruning over 1–2 seasons. We reduce gradually so the plant recovers instead of dying back.
How high will you trim?
Standard service covers shrubs/hedges up to ~10 ft using ladders and pole tools. Taller or risky work gets referred to a tree service for safety and cost efficiency.
Do you shape boxwoods and arborvitae?
Yes. We shear for form and hand-prune for interior light so they don’t hollow out over time.
Are your tools disinfected?
Yes. We sanitize blades between properties (and between diseased plants) to limit pathogen spread.
What don’t you do when trimming shrubs?
We don’t top trees, “crape-murder” ornamentals, hack flowering shrubs out of season, or do heavy late-fall cuts on tender species. Anything over ~10–12 ft or requiring climbing/rigging is referred to a trusted tree service for safety and cost efficiency.
How does pricing work for shrub trimming?
Pricing is based on plant count and size, access/terrain, finish level (quick shape vs detailed hand-prune), and debris volume/haul-away. You’ll get a clear, line-item quote before we start; disposal fees and a minimum service charge may apply.
