Trees, shrubs, and hedges are essential parts of your landscape’s design—but they need regular attention to stay healthy and beautiful. At Royal Lawn Service, we provide expert trimming and pruning services to help maintain the structure, shape, and overall health of your landscape plants.
Our team trims for appearance and prunes for plant health.

We offer tree and shrub trimming and pruning to residential and commercial properties, as well as HOAs, in Lee's Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, and surrounding Missouri areas.
What’s the Difference Between Trimming & Pruning?
While often used interchangeably, trimming and pruning serve distinct purposes—and we treat them accordingly:
Trimming focuses on aesthetics. We remove overgrowth and shape your trees, hedges, and shrubs for a polished, uniform look.
Pruning targets plant health. We selectively remove dead, damaged, diseased, or infested branches to encourage new growth and prevent issues from spreading.
We follow industry best practices to avoid unnecessary or aggressive cuts that could stress or harm your plants. Our team is trained to assess when and how each plant should be trimmed or pruned to promote longevity and appearance.
Our team can handle trees, shrubs, and hedges as high as 10 feet.
Our Seasonal Trimming & Pruning Process
Trimming – Performed in Spring & Fall
We trim most landscape plants twice a year—once in the spring to encourage strong seasonal growth, and again in the fall to clean up before winter. This process removes excess growth, opens up the plant canopy, and enhances the overall visual appeal of your landscape.
Pruning – Performed as Needed
Pruning is based on plant condition and is done throughout the year as needed. If we observe pest infestations, fungus, storm damage, or structural issues, we’ll carefully prune the affected areas to protect the rest of the plant. We prioritize selective pruning that supports strong regrowth and healthy branching.
Winter Cutbacks for Ornamental Grasses
For ornamental varieties like pampas grass, we perform cutbacks in late winter. This encourages fuller growth in spring and prevents matting or overcrowding. It’s a key maintenance step for many Missouri landscapes.
We trim and prune all landscape plant material under 10 feet in height, including trees, shrubs, hedges, and ornamental grasses.
Why Regular Pruning & Trimming Matters
Routine trimming and pruning offer many benefits:
Improves overall plant health by removing problem areas.
Reduces the risk of storm damage by eliminating weak branches.
Boosts curb appeal with a neat, manicured look.
Encourages fuller, stronger plant growth throughout the year.
Neglecting plant care can lead to overcrowding, pest infestations, and unsightly growth. Our professional team will help you stay ahead of seasonal challenges.
