The Challenges of Moving to a New Home and Getting it Ready for Your Family

Moving to a new home in a new city is both an exciting and daunting experience. There are countless details to manage—from coordinating movers to ensuring that your new space is ready to welcome your family. One often overlooked aspect of settling into a new home is the state of the yard, particularly if you have hedges or landscaping that play a big role in framing your property.

Hedges can add so much character to a home. They provide natural barriers for privacy, frame the house beautifully, and define outdoor spaces. However, when moving into a new home, overgrown or neglected hedges can be a challenge. They need to be addressed to restore order and enhance curb appeal. This was exactly the case for one of our clients who reached out to us in late fall.

Late Fall & Early Winter Hedge Trimming Project

The job took place in late fall and early winter—a time when the weather can be unpredictable, making it a shorter and more efficient job than usual. Our client had recently purchased a home, and the hedge surrounding the yard had grown out of control. Since hedges are such a defining feature of the property, they needed immediate attention before the family could settle in comfortably.

At Lee’s General Landscaping, we make the process simple for our customers. First, we assess the condition of the yard and hedges, discussing the specific needs and vision with the homeowner. After reviewing the project, we provide a quote based on the required work. Once everything is agreed upon, we schedule the work at a time that’s convenient for the client.

On the workday, our team arrives fully equipped, performs all the necessary trimming, and ensures that every hedge is shaped to perfection. One of the biggest advantages we offer is that we take care of the entire process from start to finish, including hauling away all debris. This way, our customers can move into their new home with a fresh, clean yard ready for their family to enjoy.

A Real-World Example:

On December 18, 2011, one of our clients reached out with a similar issue. The hedge at the new home they purchased had become unruly and needed urgent care.

“Called Mr. Lee to trim an out-of-control hedge at a home I recently purchased. He came out, took one look at it and told me what he’d do. He came out a few days later and took care of it just as promised. He was quick and hauled away all the rubbish.”

Our client appreciated the fast and efficient service, and the refreshed yard made the move-in process much smoother.

“If you’re looking for a no-nonsense solution to yard clean-ups, he’s the guy to call. Good work at reasonable rates.”
