Hedge Trimming in North Florida & South Georgia
Sharp hedges, clean lines, and a property that looks like someone cares.
Overgrown hedges make a property look neglected, even if everything else is maintained. Reed Tree Service provides professional hedge trimming and shaping for residential and commercial properties in Tallahassee. We keep your hedges clean, properly shaped, and healthy.
More Than Just a Haircut
Proper hedge trimming isn't just about making things look neat. It's about shaping the plant for healthy growth, maintaining proper density, and preventing the hedge from becoming woody and bare at the bottom. We trim at the right times and at the right angles to keep your hedges full and green from top to bottom.
One-Time or Recurring
Whether you need a one-time cleanup to get overgrown hedges back under control, or you want regular maintenance to keep everything sharp year-round, we do both. Most hedge species in Tallahassee benefit from trimming 3-4 times per year to stay looking their best.

Hedge Trimming FAQ
Common questions about hedge trimming in Tallahassee and the surrounding area.
In Tallahassee's climate, most hedge species grow fast enough to need trimming 3-4 times per year. Fast growers like Ligustrum may need it every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. Josh quotes one-time and repeat jobs.
Yes, but it depends on the species and how overgrown they are. Some hedges can be cut back hard and will regrow. Others need gradual reshaping over 2-3 trimmings to avoid stressing the plant. We'll assess yours and give you an honest recommendation.
Yes. If your hedges are past the point of recovery or you just want them gone, we can remove them entirely, including the root balls if needed. We can also help with replacement planting if you want new hedges installed.
