An overgrown hedge can make even a well kept Randlett home look neglected. Branches crowd windows, push against siding, and block the view down the lane. Left alone for a few years, shrubs also get thin and woody in the middle, which makes them harder to bring back into shape.
Our bush and hedge trimming service keeps shrubs looking good and growing strong. We time cuts to each plant, thin dense growth so light reaches the inside, and shape hedges so they stay full from top to bottom. We also cut back branches that are rubbing on buildings, fences, or vehicles. When the work is done, every clipping is raked up and hauled off, so your Randlett yard looks finished from the road to the back door.
We know how wind, sun, and snow treat shrubs on open Randlett lots, and we shape plants to handle all three.
Hedge trimmers, hand pruners, pole saws, and loppers let us make the right cut on every size of branch.
If a shrub would be better replaced than trimmed again, we'll tell you plainly and explain why.
Every clipping is raked from beds, lawns, and gravel, and all trimmings leave the property with us.
Randlett takes its name from Col. James Randlett, the commanding officer at Fort Duchesne, and today it’s a quiet, spread out community where many properties rely on shrubs and hedgerows for privacy and shelter from the wind. Those plants work hard. They take the brunt of every gust, collect blowing debris, and keep growing whether anyone trims them or not. Regular bush and hedge trimming keeps them dense, healthy, and in proportion with the house and yard. Our crews plan trips out to Randlett, so we line up your trimming with the right time of year for your plants.
When you cut matters almost as much as how. Shrubs that flower in spring, like lilac and forsythia, set next year’s buds over the summer. Trim them in fall and you cut off the flowers before they ever open. The best window for those is just after the last flowers fade. Summer bloomers and most evergreen hedges can be shaped in late winter or early spring before new growth starts, with a light touch up in summer if needed. We sort out the timing for each plant on your property so you get both a good shape and a good bloom.
Shearing only the outside of a hedge year after year builds a thick shell of leaves with bare, woody branches inside. Thinning cuts fix that by removing select stems all the way back to a main branch or the ground. That opens the plant up so sunlight and air reach the interior, which brings new growth from the inside out. Thinning also cuts down on the hiding spots where blowing trash and dead leaves collect, and it lets the shrub dry out faster after a storm, which helps keep fungus and rot away. We also shape hedges so the base is slightly wider than the top. That way the lower branches get enough light to stay full instead of thinning out at the bottom.
Heavy, wet snow piles onto flat topped hedges and wide open shrubs, bending branches until they split. A rounded or slightly tapered top sheds snow far better. Trimming out weak, crossing, or overly long branches before winter also gives wind less to grab. Junipers and arborvitae are especially prone to splaying open under snow, and a few well placed cuts can help them hold their form. If a storm does snap limbs or bend a hedge out of shape, a spring cleanup clears the broken wood so we can reshape what’s left.
Not sure if your shrubs need attention? Watch for these clues:
Some old shrubs are too far gone to save. When a plant is mostly dead wood, taking it out may make more sense, and our tree and stump removal crew can clear it, roots and all.
Shrubs along property lines and lanes need regular clearance cuts. Branches that lean into a driveway scratch vehicles, and growth against a fence traps moisture and pushes on rails and posts. Along ditches you may also find Russian olive or tamarisk sneaking into a hedgerow, and those are best cut out while they’re small. If years of shrub pressure have already loosened boards or leaned posts, our fence repair team can set things right once the branches are cut back.
