A typical hedge trimming service includes trimming off new growth to shape the bush to its original shape and hauling away the clippings. This trimming should be done every 1-3 months depending on the growing rate of the hedge. If it has been longer than 3 months since the bushes were trimmed, they may require a more extensive cutting which could leave the bush looking somewhat bare until time passes and allows the bush to fill in with new growth. The rate for hedge trimming that does not require a chainsaw is $70+tax/hour for a 2 man crew with an additional $30+tax/hour for each additional crew member. The size of the crew depends on the number of guys we have on the route that day. Three guys get the job done faster than two guys, so the price ends up the same. Disposal is between $5+tax – $75+tax depending on how much debris fills the trailer.
