“This is the third time we have used His Workmanship. So far we’ve had great crews on our property. They have weeded out hosta beds, dug up buckthorn, planted several shrubs and installed around 70 bags of mulch. I have referred them to my friends and plan to have them come back next summer for more work. I would highly recommend His Workmanship.” – Linda

A great organization to work with. Got back to us quickly. Work was done in a timely manner and the team that arrived were very kind, thorough and helpful.
We were so incredibly happy with the work that "His Workmanship" did. They were able to finish everything we wanted and we were so impressed with the results. Both guys were great! We would absolutely hire them again!
Will and Elijah worked like true professional landscapers. I just had to show them once on what had to be done; weed, spread 3 yards of cedar mulch front & back, remove old heavy rotted wood border, and insert new edging. They went right to work finishing sooner than the 4 hours I signed up for. Will and Elijah were the most courteous and conscientious in their work. I do have a big yard, and with the spread of all that cedar and the weeds gone ,I have the one of most beautiful and cedar fragrant yards in the neighborhood. And Eric, I consider my self a lucky guy for finding you and His Workmanship out of the blue to choose you, and you selecting Will and Elijah to do the job for me (us).
The 2 crew members that came out to work in my yard were very task-oriented and extremely conscientious of what needed to be done. I had a very big project going on, which required digging, moving heavy stones, mulching and some other challenging work that kept both of these young men on their feet for 4 hours.They weren't just hard-working they were polite and represented their company well. Both of these young men worked in my yard for 2 Saturdays in a row, and they did an incredible job. I wish more young people have their positive attitude and stamina.
They did a great job. I’d definitely use them again.
His Workmanship is responsive, quick and reliable. My team of two showed up on time, and were friendly, hardworking and capable. I have already booked them to come back.
These guys are the best. Extremely hard workers.
Efficient scheduling and on time polite and hard working workers. Would hire again
Such a breath of fresh air to have a company with trustworthy hard workers. Will for sure be reaching out for future projects!
I'v used these guys for various landscaping needs for the past couple of years. They are good guys who work hard and want to do a good job. They communicate well and a pleasant to work with.
They did a terrific job- they were on time and did a fantastic job on the project and cleaned up well
The crew worked quickly. I didn't have a project large enough for 3 crew members because they work effectively and at a steady pace.
We are pleased with our finished project!
We recently hired His Workmanship to weed and mulch our flower beds, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, communication was professional and prompt, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Sam, the crew leader, was excellent—organized, knowledgeable, and ensured everything went according to plan. Owen did a fantastic job completing the work on time and with great attention to detail. Our flower beds look fresh and beautifully maintained.

We highly recommend His Workmanship to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping services!
I was very impressed with how quickly I was able to schedule the job. The two workers were able to come an hour earlier than planned and they finished the entire job in less than the 3 hours that I booked. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
I was very pleased with the work of Elijah, Dylan and Kobi! I scheduled another session this week to complete the back yard. I will be using them to keep my beds pristine! They planted begonias around my waste receptacles and 2 lavenders in the newest flower bed, removed leaves and weeds from existing bed and edged the front trees and beds! Excellent workers.
Eli and Hunter were very polite and thorough. They got everything done in a timely manner and even suggested a couple small related tasks they could do with the remaining time. Eric was great to work with and scheduling was a breeze. Would highly recommend anytime!
Highly recommend! We’ve used them 3 times now, and each time they’ve done a great job. Very quick to respond and professional.
Scheduling was easy and workmanship excellent! All workers arrived at scheduled time, were polite and professional. We are very happy with workers and the job they completed!
They were on time, very nice and got front and back yards completely done. Highly recommend and would definitely hire them again.
The work done by His Workmanship was excellent. From the initial contact and follow up by Eric, to the completion of my project (weeding) it was a very professional experience. I would recommend them to anyone needing help with their yard. And I will use their service again

Frequently Asked Questions

Most hedge trimming companies charge $40 – $50 per hour. Very rarely will a landscape company give a flat fee with an on-site estimate for such a small project like trimming bushes. Some lawn service companies will have hedge trimming as an add-on to their lawn mowing services.

Overgrown bushes can be a major eyesore. Regular shrub care will keep them looking nice. Think of it like giving your bushes a haircut. It’s not pleasant to look at someone having a bad hair day, is it? Moreover, if you don’t trim off dead branches, they could become a safety hazard because dead branches are more likely to dislodge from the bush. During a windy storm, they could get torn off and damage your property.

Lilac should be pruned right after they are done flowering in the spring. You will want to avoid trimming them in the summer or fall. The reason is because that may ruin the flowers for next year since lilacs grow the buds for the following year after the current year’s flowers have fallen off. This applies to both big and small lilac bushes.

Most lilacs can grow to be about 30 feet tall without any pruning, but some smaller ones only get to half that height. Lilac bushes will reach excessively tall heights unless they get pruned on a regular basis. Therefore, the ideal amount of pruning that should be done is 5-7 inches, depending on how overgrown they are.

There are 4 different classifications of hydrangea: Annabelle, PeeGee, Oakleaf, Mophead. The best time to prune Annabelle and PeeGee is during the fall, so anytime between September and November. You can trim them down low to the ground because they will grow back with new buds on the new wood every spring. Since Oakleaf and Mophead produce buds on old wood, the best time to prune them is after their summer bloom, so from mid-June to late-July.

You can start cutting back roses once the forsythias have started blooming, which is in early spring so anytime in April. But don’t overdo it because major pruning should wait until late summer or early winter. That’s when roses will begin the dormant process. As the flowers fade, you can extend the rose blooming period by deadheading them accordingly.

You will need a pair of bypass pruning shears for pruning roses. First, remove the leaves so you can clearly see the rose bush stems. Second, clip off the dead wood. Brown is dead; green is alive. Third, remove thin growth with weak stems. Fourth, take out any branches that cross over one another. Crossing branches can rub together causing disease or damage.

The two options to choose from are handheld shears or electric hedge trimmers. The benefit of shears is that you get precision. You can give a detailed manicure to each of your bushes. The drawback is that this will take a long time if you have many hedges to cut. The downside for an electric hedge clipper is that you aren’t able to give as much attention to detail, so the hedges can look sloppy from close up. However, it will get done much sooner and nobody will be able to notice the small mistakes from far away.

If you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself, you should hire a hedge trimming company to do it for you. You should try to get a ballpark estimate on the total cost for your trimming project. In order to get a quote, you’ll likely need to provide information about the number of bushes, how tall they are and how overgrown they’ve become. Google their company name to make sure they have good reviews online. His Workmanship offers professional hedge trimming services. Click here to get a free estimate.

My name is Daniel and this is my first summer helping residential homeowners through His Workmanship. I used to attend the same church as the owner so that is how I learned about this amazing opportunity. To be honest, I really enjoy finding customers through a referral company that so clearly reflects the Christian faith in their business model. The cherry on top is that a $20 discount is offered to everyone who reads a certain passage in the Bible.
