Hedge Trimming for Henderson yards
Older Henderson foundation hedges, like hollies, ligustrums and photinias, often get sheared flat on top until the bottoms go bare. We reshape them narrower at the top so light gets back to the lower branches, and we haul off everything we cut. Hedge trimming here runs $150 to $800 for most jobs, depending on the number of shrubs and how far they've grown out.
Good hedge trimming is more than running a power trimmer across the top. We shape each hedge a little wider at the base than at the top so light reaches the lower branches, and we keep the natural form of the plant instead of shearing everything into the same box. A hedge that's narrower at the bottom goes bare and leggy underneath.

How the job goes
Most East Texas hedges want two to three trims between spring and fall, when they put on the most growth. June is the clean window for hollies and boxwoods, and right after bloom is the only safe time for azaleas and mophead hydrangeas. Skip hard shearing in late fall, because the tender regrowth burns brown in the first cold snap.
Walk the beds
We count the shrubs, check their size and condition, and note which ones bloom on old wood so we don't cut off next year's flowers.

You get an itemized price, usually within a day. Most jobs fall between $150 and $800.
Shape by hand
Tarps go down, then each hedge is shaped to its natural form, a little wider at the base so the lower branches keep their leaves.
Clean up and haul off
Every clipping is raked up, blown out of the beds and hauled away.
Set the next trim
Most hedges need two to three trims a season. We can put you on a recurring schedule or come back when you call.

Hedge Trimming questions in Henderson
Can you cut back an overgrown hedge hard at my Henderson house?
Many hedges, like ligustrum and photinia, handle a hard rejuvenation cut and fill back in over a season or two. Timing matters, so we plan the cut for when the plant will recover best. We'll tell you on the walkthrough if a shrub is too far gone and better replaced.
How much does hedge trimming cost in Henderson, TX?
Most hedge trimming jobs run $150 to $800. A few foundation shrubs fall at the low end, and long rows, tall hedges or shrubs that haven't been touched in years run higher. Hauling off the clippings is part of the job. We walk the yard and send a written, itemized quote, usually within a day. Send a quote request and we'll get back to you within a day.
How often should hedges be trimmed in East Texas?
Two to three times through the growing season for most hedges, spring into fall. Fast growers like ligustrum and photinia tend toward the higher end of that, and slower boxwoods the lower. We set the schedule by what you have planted and how fast it fills in, and we can put you on a recurring trim so it never gets away from you.
When is the best time to trim hollies and boxwoods?
Early summer, once the spring flush of soft growth has hardened off. June is a good, clean window. Late-season shearing forces tender new growth that the first hard cold snap burns brown, and you stare at scorched tips all winter. If you keep a holly for its red winter berries, trim it lighter, since heavy shearing cuts off part of the crop.
More we do in Henderson
Lawn Maintenance
Henderson lawns run from shaded St. Augustine in the older neighborhoods to open bermuda on newer and country lots, and each one gets mowed at its own height.
Tree & Shrub Care
Mature azaleas, camellias and dogwoods are a big part of Henderson yards, and they reward patience more than a hard hack.
Leaf Removal
Between the oaks, pecans and pines on older Henderson lots, leaf season runs from October into winter, and pine straw keeps coming after the hardwoods are bare.
Drainage & Grading
Henderson's low spots and flat backyards hold water because rain stops at the clay under the sandy topsoil and has nowhere to go.
Landscaping
Landscaping an older Henderson home is often renovation: beds planted decades ago that have grown into the windows, lost their edges or thinned out under shade.
Fertilization
Like most of East Texas, Henderson lawns tend to run a little acidic from pine needles and rain, and fertilizer doesn't do much when the pH is off.
Tree Planting
When an older Henderson yard loses a big tree, the replacement should be picked for the next 50 years, not the next two.
Flower Bed Installation
For shady Henderson beds under pines and oaks, azaleas and hydrangeas do well when they get morning sun and afternoon shade.
