Hedge & shrub trimming in Madison, MS
Hedges squared up, shrubs shaped, clippings gone. Free estimates on every job.
Shrub and tree trimming
Shrubs that fit the house again.
Overgrown shrubs hide windows, crowd walks and make a tidy lawn look unkept.
Hedge trimming is one of the services we book directly, and every estimate is free.
Our site puts it as shrub and tree trimming, because the two usually get done together.
Hedges are cut level and square. Foundation shrubs are shaped to sit under the windows.
Small ornamental trees get the low and crossing branches taken off so the shape reads clean.
Then everything that hit the ground is raked up and taken away.
When it is in season
Structural pruning in late winter, shaping from late spring through summer.

Local knowledge
Timing is everything with Southern shrubs
The plants Madison is known for all bloom on their own schedule, and pruning has to follow it.
Azaleas set next year’s flower buds in summer. They should be trimmed soon after the spring bloom fades.
Cut them in fall and you cut off the spring show.
Crape myrtles are pruned in late winter, before growth starts, and never chopped flat across the top.
Mississippi State University Extension warns that heavy pruning destroys the plant’s natural form.
Evergreen hedges like holly and boxwood are more forgiving, and take shaping through the growing season.

Questions
Hedge trimming, answered.
When should azaleas be trimmed?
Soon after they finish blooming in spring.
They form next year’s buds in summer, so late pruning costs you flowers.
How should crape myrtles be pruned?
Lightly, in late winter. Remove suckers and crossing branches.
Topping them flat damages the tree’s shape.
