Bush trimming is cutting back shrubs and hedges to control their size and shape, clear dead wood and keep them healthy. JD’s Landscaping & Junk Trash Removal is a family-owned company that trims bushes, shrubs and hedges for Maryland homes and businesses. We time each cut to what the plant needs and haul the clippings away.
Bushes that swallow the front windows. A hedge that has gone shaggy on top and bare at the bottom. Shrubs scraping the siding, crowding the walkway or blocking the view from the driveway. Most yards in Maryland have at least one of these, and a pair of shears on a Saturday rarely fixes it for long.
That is the work we do. We are a family-owned company based at 207 Oakland Hall Road in Prince Frederick, in business since 2018, and JD brings more than 15 years of hands-on experience to every yard.
What makes our bush trimming different is timing and cleanup. We cut each shrub at the right time of year, using the right kind of cut, so you don’t lose next spring’s flowers or end up with a hedge that’s green on the outside and dead inside. And because we also run junk removal trucks, the clippings leave with us. Veterans, active-duty military and first responders receive a discount.
Most visits combine two or three of these. You get one quote for the whole yard.
Routine trimming for the shrubs along your foundation, walkways and beds. We keep them in proportion with the house and clear of windows and siding, so they look intentional instead of overgrown.
Privacy hedges and formal hedges, trimmed straight and even. We shape hedges slightly wider at the base than at the top. That lets sunlight reach the lower branches, which keeps the bottom of the hedge green and full instead of thin and bare.
Shrubs that have outgrown their space can often be saved. Instead of one hard cut that can shock the plant, we use renewal pruning: removing about a third of the oldest stems at the base each year over two to three years. The shrub gets smaller and fuller at the same time.
Azaleas, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, shrub roses and crape myrtles all bloom on their own schedule. Cut at the wrong time, they skip a year of flowers. We check what you have and prune it when it won’t cost you blooms.
Japanese maples, dogwoods, redbuds and other small trees in your beds, up to 20 feet tall. Maryland’s Tree Expert Law requires a Licensed Tree Expert for tree trimming done for hire on taller trees, so larger tree work is handled separately.
Dead, diseased or unwanted shrubs taken out so you can replant or open up the space. For larger overgrown areas, our brush removal service clears it all at once.
No bags left at the curb and no pile behind the shed. Clippings go on our trucks the same day.
Entrances, common areas, storefronts and office grounds, trimmed on a schedule that works around your hours.
The right time depends on the shrub. These are the rules we follow, based on University of Maryland Extension guidance:
Spring-flowering shrubs. Azaleas, rhododendrons, forsythia and lilacs set next year’s flower buds in summer. Prune them right after they finish blooming, or you cut off next spring’s flowers.
Summer-flowering shrubs. Shrub roses, abelia, rose of Sharon and beautyberry bloom on new growth. Prune them in late winter or early spring, before new growth starts.
Evergreens and hedges. Heavier pruning belongs in early spring. Yews, junipers, hemlocks and arborvitae can also be headed back in spring or summer. Holly can be trimmed lightly in winter.
Boxwood. Thin in winter, from December through February.
Overgrown shrubs. Renewal pruning works best in late winter or early spring, before new growth.
Fall. UMD’s advice is not to prune shrubs in the fall. Cutting then can push new growth that won’t harden before winter. In the fall, we stick to cleanup and removing dead or broken branches, and we book shaping work for late winter.
Send us a few photos. We will tell you what you have, what it needs and the right month to do it, even if that means waiting.
Boxwood. One of the most common shrubs in Maryland landscapes. We thin boxwood rather than shearing it hard, because dense outer growth holds moisture and invites disease. UMD also recommends sanitizing tools between yards to avoid spreading boxwood blight.
Azalea and rhododendron. Pruned right after spring bloom, with hand pruners instead of shears so the large leaves aren’t torn.
Holly. Light trimming in winter, heavier pruning in early spring.
Hydrangea. Different types bloom on old or new wood, so we check which kind you have before we cut.
Crape myrtle. Thinned, not topped. Cutting crape myrtles down to stubs every year weakens the branches and leaves ugly knuckles.
Arborvitae and other evergreen hedges. Light, regular trims to keep the shape, without cutting back into old bare wood that may not regrow.
Shrub roses, including Knock Out roses. Cut back in late winter, before new growth.
You choose. We can haul every clipping away the same day, or leave them bagged where you want them.
Hauling it yourself is more work than it looks, and yard waste rules vary from county to county in Maryland. In Calvert County, where we are based, yard debris goes to the Appeal Landfill in Lusby, branches have to be cut to six feet or shorter, and the fee is charged by weight.
If any of your shrubs show signs of disease, especially boxwood, the clippings should be bagged and not composted, so the problem doesn’t spread to healthy plants.

Homeowners. Foundation shrubs and hedges that have slowly taken over the front of the house.
Sellers and real estate agents. Overgrown bushes hide a house in listing photos. Give us your photo date and we will work to it.
Landlords and rental properties. Regular trimming so the property looks cared for between tenants.
Estate properties. Homes that sat empty while the shrubs kept growing. We trim outside while our estate cleanout service handles the inside.
HOAs and commercial properties. Entrances, common areas and storefronts kept neat on a regular schedule.
Homeowners who are done with the ladder. Tall hedges and big shrubs are hard, sweaty work. We do it so you don’t have to.
Homeowners. A dead or leaning tree you have been watching for one season too long.
Storm-damaged properties. A tree on the roof, the fence, the shed or the car.
Waterfront owners. Tree removal near the Bay or the Patuxent, planned around the Critical Area rules before anything is cut.
Sellers and real estate agents. Dead or hazardous trees that worry buyers. Give us your listing date and we will work to it.
Landlords and estate properties. Rentals and inherited homes with trees nobody has looked at in years. We handle the trees outside while our estate cleanout service takes care of the inside.
Homeowners starting a project. Additions, sheds, driveways and new landscapes often start with a tree or two coming out.
HOAs and commercial properties. Common areas, entrances and parking lot trees, scheduled around your hours

It depends on how many shrubs you have, how tall and overgrown they are, the type of cut each one needs, and access. Clipping haul-away is part of the job price. Our estimates are free, come back within 24 hours, and give you one written price before work starts.
It depends on the shrub. University of Maryland Extension recommends pruning spring-flowering shrubs like azaleas right after they bloom, and summer-flowering shrubs and most hedges in late winter or early spring. Boxwood is best thinned from December through February.
It’s best not to shape shrubs in the fall. University of Maryland Extension advises against fall pruning because it can push new growth that won’t harden before winter. Removing dead or broken branches is fine. Save shaping for late winter or early spring.
Yes. Clippings are raked out of the beds and off the lawn and hauled away on our trucks the same day. If you would rather keep them for compost, we can leave them bagged instead.
Not if they are cut at the right time. Azaleas should be pruned right after they flower. Hydrangeas depend on the type, so we check which kind you have before cutting. Cut at the wrong time, flowering shrubs can skip a year of blooms.
