Planting and Landscape Trees

Clean lines. Healthy plants.

Overgrown shrubs hide windows, scratch siding and crowd walks. We shape, thin and reset hedges and shrubs so they look sharp and grow well.

  • Priced by: Length and height of hedges and the number of shrubs
  • Methods: Hand shears, power trimmers and pruning saws

The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Shrubs and hedges are part of the tree line of your yard, and they respond best to trimming at the right time and the right way. Shearing everything into a ball may look tidy this week, but it can leave bare, woody centers and a plant that never recovers.

Nashville Tree Service trims and reshapes shrubs, hedges and small ornamentals across Middle Tennessee. We cut for health and form, remove deadwood, thin dense growth and, when plants are too far gone, recommend a rejuvenation cut or replacement.

Good questions

Shrub and Hedge Trimming: common questions

When should I trim my hedge?

Many hedges are trimmed after the spring flush, with a light touch in late summer. Flowering shrubs are trimmed after they bloom.

Can an overgrown shrub be saved?

Often. A rejuvenation cut can bring many back over a season or two.
