Tree, Hedge, & Bush Trimming
Proper pruning encourages healthy plant growth
Great job installing our pavers. Our yard looks finished now. Installers were efficient and friendly.
We are so happy with the entire Topscape team. The kept us informed throughout the process, the work is beautiful, everyone was professional and they kept the worksite clean and worked with us on changing needs. They replaced a failing DIY retaining wall and patio and left us with a new strong, well draining, beautiful patio.
We had a lovely stone patio w/stepping stone access, installed by this company. They were timely, courteous, and their clean-up was also A+. This took several days (with a few days of rain in-between). We live in NW Davenport and would certainly recommend their services. Topscape is "Topnotch"!!!
Excellent Experience with Topscape Landscaping. Many styles and options to chose from. Highly recommend.
Topscape did a fantastic job on our large retaining wall!! They were very professional through the whole experience. The workers were very kind, helpful and respectful to us as well as our property. They worked with us with all of our concerns and followed through with everything! I have more work to be done in the future and won't trust anyone else but Tooscape! Thank you so much for such a great experience and our beautiful wall!!! We can't wait to have you back!!
Topscape is top shelf! Geo and his team are incredibly hard working. They just replaced my failing rail tie retaining wall and landscaped around our garage. This last week was super hot and the crew just kept going. The process was great start to finish, and the work was outstanding. We love the new 60' retaining wall and will enjoy the no-trim border that the crew installed. We'll have them back to Geneseo for sure. Highly recommended!
The Topscape crew did an excellent job regrading my yard! After a sewer line replacement, my front yard was a mess. Topscape removed a couple stray hedge that remained, compacted and removed the excess dirt, put down topsoil and grass seed, and covered it with a straw mat. So nice to have that mound of mud gone! Giovanni was able to get me on the schedule in a short time and his crew completed the work quickly and cleaned up completely. I would definitely recommend them and would re-hire for another job. Thank you!
The crew from Topscape did an excellent job for us. They removed and replaced our garden steps and then spread mulch throughout all of our landscaped areas. The three crew members were pleasant, hardworking, and eager to make sure we were pleased with the results. Their attention to detail and professionalism were greatly appreciated.
Topscape Landscaping is an excellent company! I live in the Moline, Illinois area. There were several small- and medium-size projects - trimming a tree, cleaning out gutters, clearing out a large area of brush and weeds, replacing a clay bed with top soil, other yard work and stonework - which didn't need to be completed at the same time but were all done to my satisfaction. The workers were friendly, hard-working and answered any questions I had. The stonework was especially well-done and greatly enhanced the look of the area surrounding the home generator and air conditioner. From my experience, Topscape Landscaping is at the top of my list for my next project.
Gio and team did a fantastic job replacing our retaining wall and completing our patio installation! The crew was very respectful and completed the project in a very timely manner, highly recommend for any landscaping needs in the QC area!
Appreciated quick response to voicemail message requesting a quote, appointment to look at our retaining wall, a quote, and completing the job. Workers were knowledgeable and did a good job of cleanup to complete the job!! Definitely recommend Topscape!!

Very happy with the work. Looks great.
Giovanni was great from the start of my project. Communication was great. Quick and prompt. Answered all of my questions. Was always on time and his crew did an amazing job replacing my retaining wall and redoing some existing landscape. Crew was courteous and left no mess after the project was done. I can’t recommend this business enough. Very happy!
Gio and crew did an amazing job with the landscaping and did more than we expected. Very professional and easy to work with will definitely be using them again.
This company did a fantastic job. They were quick getting it done and cleaned up all areas of mess before completing job. Workers are friendly and helpful. Appreciate everything they did for me. I would not hesitate to hire them again if needed. I would recommend them to everyone

We’ve been longstanding customers of Topscape but this may have been the biggest project we’ve collaborated on with the Topscape team and we’re incredibly pleased with the outcome!! Giovanni & his team were incredibly thorough in their planning and execution of our new retaining wall. We were impressed with the strength of the walls’ build and in the design, which is challenged by the incline of our landscape. The number of drainage pipes was a great improvement from the old wall. Not only are we pleased with the outcome, we’ve had multiple compliments from neighbors, which is a sign a quality work!
Giovanni and his crew did a terrific job removing the snow from our long, winding private drive. They were timely in getting it finished and we couldn’t be more pleased. R. May
I have used Topscape Landscaping for my snow removal at my chiropractic practice to clean my parking lot and sidewalks for a number of years. They are doing excellent job cleaning so my patients are safe. I have also had them do landscaping work at my house. I highly recommend this company.
Giovanni and his team did an excellent job replacing my old patio with a new modern one. Highly recommend this company for your outdoor landscaping needs. The pictures show the patio before and then after it was finished.
Topscape Landscaping did an amazing job on my new fence! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and efficient. They paid attention to every detail, used quality materials, and made sure everything was level and sturdy. The finished fence looks incredible and has really boosted the curb appeal of our property. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Topscape Landscaping to anyone looking for top-notch work. Will definitely use them again!
Topscape did a great job installing our landscaping and we were very happy with the end results!
We bought an older house and have had a number of projects with Top Scape to modernize and make the yard and landscaping look nicer. Their first job with us last fall was ripping out the overgrown, unkempt mess in the front of the house and in the backyard. I imagine it was back-breaking work. They did it quickly, thoroughly, and affordably. Our next job this spring was to tackle the 50-year-old patios. Top Scape tore out the old settled & cracked patios and added new ones with really cool stone steps in between. They also did a beautiful, curvy 40+ foot retaining wall to keep water away from the house. It's very cool and well made. We keep getting compliments from neighbors about how nice it all looks! Top Scape's prices are reasonable, especially given the scope of our projects. I will say Gio's team is very hard-working, efficient, and pleasant to work with, even when horrible, rainy weather slowed down the project. We like supporting small, local businesses and highly recommend Top Scape.
Topscape did an excellent job installing our fence. Giovanni and his team were professional, efficient, and delivered high-quality work. We are very pleased with the result and highly recommend their services.
Topscape Landscaping did such a great job with the landscaping around our deck and pool. They were very respectful and were really nice to work with!!!
Topscape Landscaping did an amazing job installing our edging, pathway and uplights! From the very beginning of our project, Giovanni was with us every step of the way. He met us at their supplier to show us, in person, options that were available and helped us layout the perfect design. I can’t say enough good things about Giovanni… for one, he gets back to you almost immediately if you contact him with questions. That is a PLUS in today’s environment. The crew was very pleasant and did an excellent job installing our edging. It is perfectly straight, neat, and beautifully compliments our landscaping. The pathway lights and uplight were installed with precision, creating a warm and inviting glow in the evenings—truly transforming the look and feel of our yard. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to anyone wanting top-tier landscaping work done right.
Gio was GREAT to deal with. He let me explain what i wanted and together we came up with a plan. His attention to detail is exceptional. His work and materials are of the highest quality. If there were any questions or issues, he promptly addressed them. The crew went over and above in the clean-up. I m so glad I went with his company.
💯 % on top with communication, fast, efficiency, clean up and EXACTLY what I envisioned! Listened and surprisingly did things I didn’t ask for. Like move our personal items to spots I showed him why I wanted landscaping there. The crew was respectful and on top of it!
Giovanni and his team did an excellent job with our landscaping project. They handled the demo of existing stone, trees and bushes in addition to installing a new border and plants. The crew was very efficient and did quality work. They even accommodated a couple of last minute changes I requested and didn’t hesitate. I would recommend Tooscape for any size project.
Topscape did quick and easy work of pir new fire pit! We are extremely with the price and quality of work.
Highly recommend Topscape landscaping for any of your yard projects. Geo was great to work with and they did a great job of laying sod and cleaning up everything when they were done.
Giovanni and his crew did a great job on trimming and mulching! The price was right and so was the quality of work. The crew came in and was very professional and courteous too. I would use them again in the future.
I have worked with Topscape for several years now, being a senior citizen I’m a little more picky than some, and I without equivocation this is one of the best land scapping companies in the area. They are cost-effective , reliable, and really know what they’re doing. I would hire them long before some of the other companies in the area. If you’re looking for a quality professional company, you can’t go wrong with these guys
The men from Topscape Landscaping & Lawncare did an amazing job!!! Highly recommended giving Giovanni a call for all your landscaping needs.
Great Job, Yard looks great . Highly recommended.Thanks
Great experience with Topscape.
I had let my yard get a bit out of control so I contacted Topscape Landscaping to come do a fall clean up to get it back in order. I was very impressed in all aspects, from the initial response to get a quote, to the quality of work and the speed with which they got it done. Everyone has been friendly and professional and skilled. What more could you ask for?
Topscape replaced our old railroad tie retaining wall. It was incredibly reasonable pricing and Giovanni was excellent with communication. When they started work, they completed everything in a timely manner, even repairing the steps between the walls that wasn't part of the bid, and thoroughly cleaning the driveway and street of dirt and gravel. We highly recommend Topscape!
Just had one of their wrapped vehicles run through a red light and almost T-bone me they should probably reconsider who they get to drive their vehicles originally was a one star review the owner reached out to me and is addressing the driver of the problem
Great company, easy to work with and flexible, very reasonable pricing and the work looks great. Please see the before and after pics. I will be recommending to others and using their services in the future.
They did an AWESOME job. We couldn't be happier. They provided an estimate ON THE SPOT! We didn't have to wait a week for just an estimate. Our job had its challenges due to current patio that was there and had to be taken out, but they made it look beautiful. They were very meticulous. The workers were prompt and friendly. Cleanup was awesome. Can't say enough good thinks about them.
This company did a great job transforming my jungle of the backyard into something I can enjoy again.
Quick response and great work at a fair price.
Very impressed with communication, promptness, pricing, and quality work. Highly recommend.
We hired Topscape Landscaping to do some re-grading around our house and to bury our down spouts. Not only did they return our quote quickly, they completed the job in 2 days! That included them putting our existing landscaping (brickwork) back! They were professional, very knowledgeable, and soo nice to work with. Extremely impressed!! Cannot recommend them enough!!!
This company did a great job on what we requested. Very accommodating. They moved their schedule, gave pair pricing, worked hard. They were one of the best parts of a crazy project.
The Topscape crew removed a dead tree followed by adding mulch and plants to the area at the end of our lot. They did an excellent job at a very reasonable cost.
Proper Pruning Of Trees, Hedges, and Shrubs Encourages Healthy Growth
We can meticulously care for your trees, hedges, and shrubs
Do you have many trees, shrubs, bushes, and hedges on your property? In order to keep trees, shrubs and hedges looking their best with healthy new, uniform growth the old, dead, and dying branches must be trimmed back and pruned at least once or twice a year.
We specialize in pruning and trimming trees, shrubs and hedges
Hedges, shrubs, and trees don't stop growing and in order to keep them healthy and uniform looking with even growth it's important to keep them trimmed (or pruned is the professional term). Any dead and dying branches should be trimmed away and the new growth should be properly pruned to improve their appearance by giving them a nice uniform shape and it also encourages healthy new growth.
What Type Of Trimming Or Pruning Do You Need On Your Property?
- Do you have small ornamental trees that need to be pruned?
- Do you have a large privacy hedge that needs to be trimmed?
- Do you have many smaller bushes or shrubs that need to be trimmed?
- Are you trying to remove branches that are too close to your home?
Topscape Landscaping is a local landscaping company based out of Moline, IL and serving the surrounding area. We specialize in the care and maintenance of small trees, shrubs, bushes, and hedges. We provide our trimming and pruning services for residential and commercial properties. Whether you have a large privacy hedge bordering the front or sides of your property or several small trees, bushes, and shrubs placed throughout your garden beds we can do a nicely shape and prune them for a clean, uniform, appearance and healthy growth.
How Our Pruning & Trimming Process Works
There are limits to the tree work we can do for our clients and it's usually limited to what we can "safely do". We can only prune and trim bushes and trees and hedges that we can reach from the ground or with a 10 foot ladder. If a ladder is not possible we can recommend a local tree company who can take care of any dangerous tree trimming that is beyond our scope.
- We start with our initial consultation.
- We will listen to your requirements, making any necessary suggestions.
- We will work with you to determine the trees and shrubs that need pruning.
- We show up on the scheduled days and prune and trim your trees and shrubs as promised.
- We will remove all of the trimmings and dispose of them at a green waste facility.
- The end result is healthy trees and shrubs with a clean, uniform look.
The final cost of your tree and hedge trimming will be determined by size and condition of the existing trees and shrubs. We'll also need to consider the site accessibility. We'll only be able to provide you with an accurate estimate for planting and maintaining your trees and shrubs after a thorough site inspection.
If you'd like to get an estimate to trim your hedge, trees, shrubs, or bushes please give us a call (309) 749-7696 or fill out our online contact form and we'll get back to you right away.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trimming
When is the best time to trim hedges and shrubs?
The ideal time depends on the type of plant and its growth habits. Generally, we trim evergreen hedges in late spring or early summer and deciduous hedges in late winter or early spring when they are dormant.
How often should you trim hedges and shrubs?
It varies depending on the type of hedge or shrub and the desired appearance. Some fast-growing hedges may need trimming 2-3 times during the growing season, while others may only need annual or biannual trimming. During an on-site visit we can give you the best recommended trimming and pruning interval for your specific plants.
What is the difference between pruning and trimming?
Pruning typically involves selectively removing branches to improve plant health and shape, while trimming focuses on maintaining a neat, uniform appearance for hedges and shrubs. The two terms are often used interchangeably but they do mean different things.
How much should be trimmed off a hedge or shrub at once?
Generally, it's a good rule of thumb to not remove more than one-third of the plant's total growth in a single session. Over-trimming your plants can stress the plant and impede healthy growth.
Can I trim flowering shrubs and still expect blooms?
Trim flowering shrubs soon after they finish blooming to avoid removing buds for the next season. For spring-blooming shrubs, trim shortly after flowering, and for summer-blooming shrubs, trim in late winter or early spring.
How can I promote dense growth in my hedges?
Trim regularly to encourage branching and maintain a slightly tapered shape to ensure adequate sunlight exposure to the entire hedge.
How do you trim tall hedges and shrubs?
For tall hedges and shrubs we'll typically use a pole pruner, or an extendable hedge trimmer. We usually try and access the hedge using a step ladder so we can safely reach the taller branches. Taller hedges and shrubs can cost more in labor because they do take longer to trim.
