Serving Michigan City, IN
Bush, Hedge & Tree Trimming homeowners and businesses in Michigan City rely on
Michigan City sits right on Lake Michigan, and the closer a property is to the water and Washington Park, the sandier the ground gets. Sandy soil is the opposite problem from the clay inland: it drains fast and dries out, so it does not hold moisture or nutrients the way heavier ground does, and turf near the lake needs a different touch than a subdivision lot ten miles south. The weather off the lake runs its own way too, with lake-effect snow and a slower, wetter spring.
On sandy near-lake lots we do not scalp the grass, because short turf on fast-draining ground burns out in a dry stretch. We cut on a weekly schedule at a height that keeps the lawn shaded and holding what moisture it has. Older in-town properties away from the water get a standard weekly cut with clean edges and lined-out walks.
Our bush, hedge & tree trimming approach in Michigan City
Meeks Mowing & Landscaping handles shrub trimming and ornamental pruning for residential and commercial properties across Northwest Indiana. Our crews know which shrubs to prune in early spring, which to wait on until after bloom and which need only a light shape-up — the difference between a clean professional finish and a hacked-back yard. From boxwood hedges and arborvitae screens to hydrangeas, junipers, spirea, lilacs and ornamental grasses, we shape every plant to its natural form, clean up every clipping and leave the beds looking like a magazine photo.
What We Trim
We service the full range of ornamentals and shrubs common across Northwest Indiana landscapes:
- Boxwood & hedge shaping: Tight formal boxwood hedges, English-style boxwood balls and mixed hedge screens. Sheared or hand-pruned depending on the look you want.
- Arborvitae & evergreen screens: Privacy screens trimmed for shape and density. We avoid the brown-zone die-back that comes from over-pruning evergreens.
- Hydrangeas & flowering shrubs: Pruned at the right time for each variety — endless-summer hydrangeas, panicle hydrangeas, lilacs, forsythia, spirea and weigela each have their own window.
- Junipers, yews, & spruces: Selective hand pruning to maintain shape without ruining the plant. We don't shear these — that's a fast track to a dead shrub.
- Ornamental grasses: Spring cut-back of miscanthus, switchgrass, fountain grass and karl foerster. Clean cuts at the right height to allow strong regrowth.
- Roses, knockouts, & climbers: Spring pruning for shape and air flow, plus a mid-summer trim to keep blooms coming.
- Specialty pruning: Topiary, espalier and small ornamental trees (Japanese maples, dwarf conifers) by appointment.

Our Process
Our Shrub Trimming Process
- 1
Free Walk-Through
We walk your property with you, identify every shrub and ornamental and tell you what each plant needs (and when). Then we price the visit or seasonal program.
- 2
Scheduled at the Right Time
We schedule each shrub for the correct season — not just whenever a crew has time. That's the difference between healthy shaped shrubs and butchered ones.
- 3
Hand-Pruned, Hand-Shaped
Crews use the right tool for each plant. Boxwood gets sheared, junipers get hand-pruned, hydrangeas get variety-specific cuts. Every shrub finishes with a clean shape that reads "professional."
- 4
Cleanup & Haul-Away
We bag, chip, or haul every clipping. Beds raked, driveways blown clean, hard surfaces blown off. You won't even know we were there except for how good the shrubs look.
