Bush/Hedge Pruning & Removal in Fort Collins

Lock In Bush/Hedge Pruning & Removal in Fort Collins

Hedges and shrubs need regular maintenance to stay healthy and look good. We provide trimming, shaping, and removal services for all types of landscape plantings.  Timing matters with hedge pruning. While some species may benefit from multiple prunings per year, in practice we recommend seasonal pruning. Overgrown hedges may need gradual restoration over multiple seasons to avoid stressing the plants.

Details That Matter Most

We use hand shears for detail work and hedge trimmers for larger areas. The tools depend on plant size, species, and the level of precision needed. Clean cuts heal faster and look better than rough, torn cuts.  We also remove hedges and shrubs when they're no longer wanted or have become diseased. This includes digging out root systems and cleaning up all debris. We can eliminate root systems, but we do not excavate them unless they are very shallow. Roots are typically ground out 6–12 inches below the surface using our stump grinder.

Why Locals Choose This Option

Hedge care involves assessing plant health and growth patterns to determine the best pruning approach. We remove dead material and shape overgrown areas.
How often should I prune my hedges?

While some species may benefit from multiple prunings per year, in practice we recommend seasonal pruning. Specific timing depends on the plant species and your maintenance goals.

Can you remove hedges that are overgrown or diseased?

Yes, we remove overgrown or diseased hedges completely. This includes root removal and site cleanup so you can replant or use the area differently. Unless roots are very shallow, we grind roots 6–12 inches below ground level with a stump grinder to prevent regrowth and surface damage.
