Hedge & Shrub Trimming in Windsor

Hedge & Shrub Trimming for Windsor homes

Windsor's century homes, tight city lots, rear alleys and big east and south end yards mean every kind of landscape, often on the same street. Windsor's older streets are lined with long-established cedar and privet hedges, some of them decades old and well past head height. Many back onto rear alleys, which gives us good access to trim the alley side cleanly and haul the clippings straight out.

What's included

Cedar hedges, privacy hedges and shrubs trimmed clean and square, at the right time and without cutting into dead wood. Depending on your property, that can include:

• Hedge shaping
• Cedar trimming
• Shrub pruning
• Thinning and deadwood removal
• Height reduction
• Full cleanup
• Check for nests.
• Set the line.
• Trim and shape.
• Clean up.

Local details in Windsor

Windsor's long, hot summers give lawns a long growing season, but heavy clay compacts easily and dries hard in July. Older yards have mature trees, shade and roots, while east and south end lots have wide, open lawns that need a steady schedule.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for hedge & shrub trimming in Windsor, get clear answers to these before you book:

• How do you trim cedars without cutting into dead wood?
• Do you check for active bird nests before trimming?
• When should my flowering shrubs be pruned?
• Is cleanup and haul-away of clippings included?
• Are you insured for working on ladders near my house?

Access, permits and local rules

Before any job we look at how equipment and materials will get in. On older Windsor streets, that's often a narrow side yard, a gate or the rear alley, and some jobs need smaller machines or wheelbarrows. Every dig starts with free utility locates through Ontario One Call. Work on the boulevard, driveway widening, curb cuts and city trees usually needs the City of Windsor's approval, and riverfront properties can fall under Essex Region Conservation Authority rules, so we check first.
