Services

Hedge Trimming

Our hedge trimming service maintains cedar hedges' health and appearance through annual professional trimming. Using precision tools, we shape hedges while promoting dense growth. Our team ensures clean cuts and thorough cleanup, removing all clippings. This service prevents overgrowth, maintains property boundaries, and enhances landscape aesthetics while preserving plant health.

Hedge Removal

Hedge removal addresses overgrown or damaged hedges beyond restoration. We completely remove old hedges, stumps, and debris using modern equipment. Our process prepares sites for replanting or landscaping by leveling soil and installing topsoil when needed. This service resolves structural issues while ensuring safe, efficient property clearance for future projects.

Hedge Planting

Our hedge planting service uses premium fully cultivated eastern white cedars for optimal growth. These nursery-grade plants receive two years greenhouse care followed by 5-6 years field cultivation. We include fertilization during planting and offer warranty plans. This service establishes dense, year-round privacy hedges with minimal maintenance requirements.

Deep Root Fertilizing

Deep root fertilizing restores essential nutrients to urban soils depleted by landscaping practices. We inject liquid fertilizer directly into plant root zones, promoting rapid absorption. This service improves hedge density, tree vitality, and shrub health while minimizing environmental impact through targeted application methods.

Shrub Trimming

Shrub trimming maintains ornamental plants' shape and health through strategic pruning. Our experienced team addresses environmental stress factors while enhancing curb appeal. Regular maintenance prevents overgrowth, encourages flowering, and maintains balanced growth patterns for long-term landscape beauty.

We've used Hedge King twice now and both times it went great. They arrived on time, trimmed the hedges very well, then tidied everything up nicely. The employees were also very polite when they arrived and answered all my questions. Very pleased!

Hedge King did an amazing job on the cedar hedges on our property. Some of our hedges were overgrown, so trimming them back and giving them a nice shape was a huge job. The team worked very hard and did a fantastic job. They were very professional, on time, friendly and personable, and the quality of their work was outstanding. We will definitely work with this team in the future! We highly recommend Hedge King!

We had about 300 feet of very overgrown cedar hedges due to previous owner neglect, which gave no choice but to remove and replant new. After evaluating a number of firms we either found that a) They did not service our area (Russell, Ont.) b) Where not qualified/confident to perform the work c) Just way too expensive. After some discussion with Tom from Hedge King he agreed to perform the work even if outside their normal service area. His team came and conquered our hedge beast over two days in an efficient/professional manner. Part 1: Removal of existing Hedge
Basically a lot of hard work

Rude, discourteous and unprofessional. Set appointment and awaited Hedge KIng's arrival. At set time, found stranger wandering in my back yard. When confronted, he admitted that he was Tom Atkin from Hedge King. I explained that he should first knock on front door, introduce himself and get permission to enter property to which he replied "I don't need this grief." I dismissed him immediately.
