Hedge Trimming, Shrub Pruning and Ornamentals

Hedge, shrub and ornamental maintenance requires some of the most intensive, meticulous pruning techniques in the industry. It demands patience and precision to achieve a premium result. At Nevada Arborist LLC, we apply the same high level of care, attention, and technical skill to trimming shrubs as we do to mature, structural trees. Much like larger trees, hedges and delicate plants face unique challenges in Washoe County and Northern Nevada. We provide tailored care to protect your investment from the dry soil, scorching summers, and freezing winters that are typical for Reno and Sparks.

Our team of ISA Certified Arborists takes great pride in their skills, attention to detail, and gentle touch when caring for your property's most delicate trees, hedges, and shrubs.

Hedge Trimming & Shaping

Hedging is a formal approach used to shape trees and shrubs into crisp boxes, clean spheres, or privacy screens. To prevent them from losing their structural shape, formal hedges should be maintained at least once a year.

Tree Pollarding

Pollarding is a technique used to maintain small trees with a compact canopy when space is limited. Maintained annually, this process encourages the growth of thick, knobby pollard "heads" that produce fresh growth every year. This allows us to strictly limit a tree's size indefinitely without causing irreversible damage.

Ornamental Tree Care

Ornamentals include small, sensitive, or exotic varieties of trees and shrubs that require specialized pruning in our high desert climate. Reno and Sparks can be a difficult environment for delicate plants. We safely manage local favorites and sensitive exotics like roses, Japanese maples, weeping fruit trees, and contorted evergreens. No matter how unique your trees and shrubs, we have the knowhow to identify their specific needs and care.

Artistic Topiary Pruning

Topiary pruning is the creative process of shaping hedges and shrubs into living sculptures. Whether you want clean abstract shapes, spirals, or geometric designs, our patience and skill can bring almost any three-dimensional vision to life.
