Burnaby Hedge Trimming FAQ
In most cases, hedge trimming doesn’t require a permit. However, if your hedge obstructs public pathways or involves shared property lines, compliance with Burnaby bylaws may apply. We’re familiar with local rules and can advise during your quote.

Cedar, English Laurel, Boxwood, and Privet are popular across Burnaby for their dense growth and privacy benefits. Each requires a different trimming style, which our team tailors during the quote and service.
