"I have 80 feet of cedar along the property line and one weekend a year I'd dread it. Now I just book Zulma. Done in two hours, looks better than when I did it myself."

Common questions
Pace it out — one stride is roughly 3 feet. We measure for real on arrival and adjust if we're off. Pricing only changes if it's significantly different from your booking estimate.
Tidy is standard horizontal-cut maintenance — what most hedges need. Sculpt is for ornamental shaping (geometric forms, topiary) and costs 25% more because it takes specialized skill and time.
Most cedars and boxwoods do best with a light trim in late spring (after new growth) and a heavier shape-up in late summer. Avoid trimming in fall before frost.
Yes — regular trimming encourages denser growth. The biggest mistake homeowners make is letting hedges grow wild for 3+ years; that often requires a multi-stage rehabilitation.
Anything we can reach safely from a step ladder, yes. Anything taller (10ft+) requires specialty equipment we don't currently carry — we'll refer you to a tree-care company.
