What you get with Arborista
Proper trimming does more than tidy up your greenery:
- Plant health — removing dead, weak, or overcrowded growth
- Controlled growth — managing height without stressing the hedge
- Shape & balance — keeping hedges even, dense, and natural-looking
- Dense fill — correct trimming stimulates branching, closing gaps over time
We avoid aggressive cuts that cause shock, thinning, or permanent damage. Hedges and shrubs are a defining part of your landscape — regular, correct trimming keeps them healthy and visually clean.
When hedge trimming makes sense
Homeowners usually contact us when:
🌿 Overgrown or uneven
Hedges look shaggy, asymmetric, or have lost their original shape.
🚶 Blocking access
Growth is encroaching on walkways, windows, driveways, or sightlines.
📉 Thinning at the bottom
Lower portions are bare and leggy — often caused by a top-heavy shape that shades the base.
📅 Years of neglect
Shrubs haven't been maintained in seasons and need rejuvenation pruning.
🏡 Curb appeal
Want a clean, tidy look for the season or before selling.
✂️ Species-specific care
Different hedges need different approaches — cotoneaster, caragana, lilac, cedar each have their own rules.
Proper trimming often restores shape and density — without replacing plants.
Timing matters
Hedge trimming is season-dependent. We'll be honest if now isn't the right time for your hedge.
✅ Best time
Late spring to early summer — after the first flush of growth.
📏 Light trims
Can be done later in the season to maintain shape.
🔄 Rejuvenation
Hard renovation pruning is best planned during dormancy (late winter).
⚠️ Avoid late fall
New growth triggered by trimming won't harden before winter and may be frost-damaged.
Pricing
💲 From $150
Hedge trimming pricing depends on:
- Hedge length and height
- Condition (overgrown vs maintained)
- Access (fences, slopes, tight spaces)
- Number of hedges and species

Real reviews from real Calgary homeowners.
Tony and his partner did a great job of trimming our out of control Elm. They were very knowledgeable. They left the area absolutely clean and stuck by their original quote.Randy Winczura
Tony did an amazing job trimming our tree! He met with me the same day I contacted him for a quote and thoroughly explained what they could do. 2 days later they were here to take care of our tree. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.Tara Porcu
Tony is an excellent arborist. He carefully trimmed branches getting too close to my house and identified Black Knot Fungus. Professional, timely, and reasonably priced.Imrana Visram
Great service. The guys came on time, did clear explanation regarding a couple of trees in our backyard. The trees have been cut professional and the working place cleaned afterwards. I would definitely recommend.Julia Pagels
We recently hired Tony to trim a maple tree that had grown over our roof, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and communicated clearly every step of the way. Tony is someone you can truly trust with your trees.IY
