SHRUB & HEDGE TRIMMING IN OMAHA
Clean Lines and Neat Edges for Your Shrubs and Hedges
Overgrown shrubs make the whole property look neglected. They block windows, crowd walkways, and turn what should be a clean foundation line into a wall of green chaos.
A1 Junk Removal and Tree Service trims and shapes shrubs and hedges across the Omaha metro area. We bring them back to a clean, maintained shape and haul away all the clippings. Your property looks better the same day we show up.
What We Trim
Foundation Shrubs
The shrubs along the front and sides of the house — boxwoods, yews, arborvitae, junipers. We shape them to a clean line so they frame the house instead of hiding it.
Privacy Hedges
Hedge rows that serve as a natural fence — privet, lilac, burning bush. We keep them dense and uniform so they actually provide the privacy you planted them for.
Ornamental Shrubs
Decorative plantings — hydrangeas, spireas, rose of Sharon, barberry. Each species has its own pruning needs, and we know how to handle them without killing the blooms.
Overgrown Removal
Sometimes a shrub is past the point of trimming. If it's too far gone, we'll rip it out, haul it away, and leave the bed ready for replanting.

How We Work
We use a combination of gas-powered hedge trimmers for the big shaping work and hand pruners for the detail cuts. Every property is different — some people want their shrubs tight and formal, others want a more natural look. We ask what you're going for and trim accordingly.
All clippings get cleaned up and hauled away. We blow the sidewalks, driveway, and beds clean before we leave. You don't have to touch a rake.
When to Trim
Most shrubs in the Omaha area benefit from trimming 2-3 times per season — once in late spring after the initial growth flush, once in midsummer, and a final cleanup in fall. Spring-blooming shrubs like lilacs should be trimmed right after they bloom so you don't cut off next year's flowers.
If your shrubs haven't been touched in years, they may need a hard rejuvenation pruning to bring them back. We can assess the situation and recommend the best approach — whether that's a heavy trim, a phased reduction over a couple of seasons, or removal and replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does shrub trimming cost?
It depends on how many shrubs you have, how overgrown they are, and how much shaping is needed. We give free estimates based on the actual scope of work.
Can you trim shrubs that are really overgrown?
Yes. We handle everything from routine maintenance trimming to heavy rejuvenation pruning on shrubs that haven't been touched in years. If a shrub is too far gone, we'll let you know and can remove it entirely.
Do you haul away the clippings?
Yes. All clippings and debris get cleaned up and hauled away. We leave the beds, sidewalks, and driveway clean.
How often should I have my shrubs trimmed?
Most shrubs benefit from 2-3 trims per season. Fast-growing species like privet may need more frequent attention. We can set up a regular schedule if you want to keep them maintained throughout the year.
