Hedge Trimming for Accessibility

Hedge Trimming for Accessibility

Landscaping

✅ Project Overview

Sometimes it’s not just about making a yard look good—it’s about making a space functional and accessible. That was the case on this long stretch of sidewalk along Rosecliff in June 2025. The homeowner reached out with a clear concern: overgrown hedges were narrowing the path so much that wheelchairs, strollers, and even walkers were struggling to pass through safely.

We took that seriously.


✂️ What We Did

After walking the full length of the hedgerow and sidewalk, we saw the issue firsthand:

  • Branches had crept well over the sidewalk

  • The grass along the curb was high and uncut

  • Visibility around the bend was limited

Here’s how we handled it:

  • Trimmed the entire hedgerow for clean, uniform shape and restored clearance

  • Lifted and tucked back lower branches to open up the walking path

  • Edge-trimmed the sidewalk for a crisp line and improved drainage

  • Mowed and cleared the grassy edge between the guardrail and walk

  • Hauled off all debris so the path was safe and walkable immediately

We worked efficiently but didn’t rush—attention to detail was key to getting every branch and edge exactly right.


💡 Why It Matters

Overgrown hedges might seem harmless, but they can:

  • Obstruct public walkways

  • Pose accessibility issues

  • Cause moisture buildup on shaded concrete

  • Lead to city code violations

In this case, our trimming not only restored beauty—it restored full sidewalk access for the community. That means wheelchairs, delivery carts, joggers, and neighborhood kids on bikes all have a safe, unobstructed way through again.
