Why Remove Overgrown or Unwanted Bushes?

Bushes can serve a purpose—privacy, windbreaks, or landscaping definition—but when they’re overgrown or out of place, they can quickly become a problem.



Common reasons for bush removal include:


  • Blocking windows or walkways
  • Hiding home entry points or damaging siding
  • Harboring pests or rodents
  • Outgrowing the landscape design
  • Creating visibility hazards for driveways or street views
  • Dying or diseased plants harming surrounding greenery


Many homeowners put off bush removal because it seems like a big task. We make it simple by handling the heavy lifting, hauling, and cleanup.
