Shrub Trimming Quick Tips to Do It Yourself

Make sure to trim the areas closest to the house to insure the shrub isn’t touching it. Shrubs or trees touching your house can damage siding and promote moisture.
Start big then go smaller to bring in the shape. It is always easier to remove more than to add. Covering up your mistakes are easy when you have some wiggle room. Most shrubs only have a couple inches of green leaves on the outside. Try to not cut into that unless you are drastically changing the shape.
Use shears for making things square and straight. Motorized hedge trimmers and pole trimmers are great but try to finalize the trim with a pair of nice sharp shears. Shears take longer but are easier to control and slice the leaves instead of ripping them. This adds an extra layer of professionalism.
Use a tarp or drop cloth!!!! It takes more time to trim but the cleanup is super easy. Poor cleanup just ruins the job. We always carry a small tarp and drag it around to catch the clippings.
Watch out for wasps. If you are allergic to wasp or hornets have someone else do this. There is a very high risk of being stung while trimming your bushes and trees. Wasps love to build nest inside shrubs and yellow jackets are also commonly found in the ground around garden beds. Take precautions and be safe.
