Bad trimming shows for years. Shrubs sheared into balls every month go bare inside. A topped crape myrtle grows back as a fist of skinny shoots. Hollies left alone for five years swallow the front windows.
We trim for the plant's shape and health first, then for looks, and we haul off every clipping. Tree removal and big tree work aren't something we do. For those we'll point you to a certified arborist.

Notes from the field
Timing matters here. Most evergreen hedges, like yaupon, ligustrum and wax myrtle, take a shaping in late spring and again in late summer. Hard cutbacks go in late winter, before new growth. Spring bloomers get trimmed right after they flower, or you cut off next year's blooms.
Questions we get
When should crape myrtles be trimmed?
Late winter, before new growth, and only to remove crossing, dead or sucker growth. They don't need to be cut back hard to bloom.
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Two to four times a year for most hedges here. More than that and they thin out inside.
Do you do tree removal?
No. We stick to shrubs, hedges and ornamentals. For tree removal or large limbs, hire a certified arborist with insurance for that work.
