I have a hedge that goes along one side and the back of my acre lot, and I have it trimmed once a year. I hired Dumfries to do the job this year at the incredible price of $999. It is always a full-day job generally with a crew of four, and the cost usually is closer to $2,000 unless I have the good fortune of this Angie's Big Deal. A crew of three showed up on time and worked from 9 a.m. until slightly past 5 p.m. with an hour's break for lunch. They did a wonderful job of trimming the hedge, but were unable to get to the taller parts, which has been the case for the past few years, so each year these three areas of the hedge just keep getting taller! One of the crew spent the afternoon pulling up undergrowth and brush that had sprung up over the summer. All went well except that the person with whom I did the "walk-though" in the yard to identify areas that needed to be weeded did not communicate to the actual weeder that I had a grape trellis and a season's worth of growth intertwined with nearby weeds, so the grape plant got culled out along with the weeds. That's not the first time a crew has leveled my grape plant in the course of weeding near/under the hedge, so I couldn't be too mad. Besides, they did a fabulous job on the hedge trim and the other weeding jobs around my property, so I shrugged it off, and everyone got a tip at the end of the day. They did a great job of clean-up when the work was done, and they were efficient in their work. I so enjoyed working with this crew that I asked the firm to quote me a price for year-'round maintenance of my lawn.
