Seasonal shaping and renovation of shrubs and hedges that keeps them dense, healthy and in scale with the house.
Shrubs and hedges grow fast in Middle Tennessee, and a neglected planting can swallow a window, block a walk or lose its shape in a single season. Regular trimming keeps plants dense and healthy, while poor trimming can leave bare centers, brown patches or weak growth. The right technique depends on the plant: some bloom on old wood and should be pruned right after flowering, while others do best with an early-spring shaping.
We trim each type of shrub at the right time and in the right way. We shape hedges so they are slightly wider at the base than the top, giving light to lower leaves. We hand-prune flowering shrubs to preserve blooms, shear boxwood and holly for formal lines and renovate overgrown plants with staged cutting. All clippings are hauled away, and we blow walks and beds clean. We also provide advice on which plants are better replaced rather than endlessly cut back. We also keep a simple calendar of when each type of shrub on your property should be trimmed, so the work is done at the right moment every year. Where a plant has grown too large for its spot, we say so honestly and offer removal and replacement as an option, since the right plant in the right place needs far less trimming. Tools are cleaned between plants to limit the spread of disease.

You tell us about your yard and what you want, new landscaping, a lawn fix or a patio, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the property, measure the areas and check sun, shade, soil, drainage and access, noting existing plants and anything worth keeping.
We explain your options for plants, materials and layout, sketch the design and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.
We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house and lawn, remove what must go and rebuild the soil and base.
We install plants, sod, stone and lighting with the crew on site from the first delivery to the last load of mulch, keeping the site tidy as we go.
We walk you through watering and care, leave a simple guide, clean up and set a reminder for your first-season check.
