Shrub Pruning & Hedge Trimming in Rock Hill, SC
Overgrown shrubs make a maintained lawn look neglected. We shape hedges and prune ornamentals correctly for the season and the species — and haul every clipping away.
Why it matters
Pruned Right Beats Pruned Often
Hedge trimmers in the wrong hands turn healthy shrubs into brown-edged boxes. Azaleas sheared at the wrong time lose next spring's blooms. Crape myrtles topped into knuckles never look right again.
We prune with the plant's growth habit in mind — shaping hollies and boxwoods cleanly, thinning where plants need air, and timing flowering shrubs so you don't sacrifice a season of color. It's the difference between a yard that looks trimmed and one that looks cared for.

Common questions
Pruning FAQs
How is pruning priced?
By the number and size of shrubs, their condition, and access. A hedge that hasn't been touched in three years takes more time than one on a schedule — your estimate reflects the actual work, listed clearly.
When should shrubs be pruned here?
It depends on the plant. Spring bloomers like azaleas get pruned right after flowering. Summer bloomers like crape myrtles are pruned in late winter. Evergreen hedges — hollies, boxwoods, ligustrum — can be shaped through the growing season. We track the windows so you don't have to.
Do you haul away the clippings?
Always. Debris removal and a full blow-down are part of every visit. If you've had a company leave piles by the curb "for the city," you know why we mention it.
