Your yard shouldn’t look wild or uneven. At TREES N THINGS, we trim bushes and hedges by hand so they look neat, even, and healthy. Serving homes across Cape Girardeau County — quick response, clean cuts, no piles left behind.

Bush and hedge trimming is one of those jobs people put off until it’s too late — then the shrubs take over the driveway, block windows, and make the whole house look tired. We fix that. TREES N THINGS trims and shapes hedges the right way: by hand, using clean tools and steady ropes when needed. We work all around Cape Girardeau — neighborhoods near Mount Auburn Rd, Lexington Ave, and down through Jackson and Benton. Whether it’s a long privacy hedge, overgrown boxwoods, or bushes that need reshaping after a storm, we’ll make them even, healthy, and fresh again. No guessing or rushing — just careful work from folks who actually live here.
We trim hedges into smooth, natural lines that match your home’s look. From formal shapes to relaxed garden styles, we keep growth balanced and strong all season.
When bushes get too tall or woody, we cut them back safely to promote new green growth. Great for older shrubs that need life brought back into them.
Perfect for spring cleanups or before listing a home for sale. We edge, trim, and tidy everything so the front yard looks cared-for again.

Spring and late summer are ideal. We avoid trimming during extreme heat or frost so plants heal fast and stay healthy.
We do both. Some folks want square, level hedges; others prefer rounded or natural looks. We match the style of your yard or subdivision.
