Tree, Hedge, & Bush Trimming
Proper pruning encourages healthy plant growth
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
Do you need hard scaping? Boom! Topscape! Do you spring and fall yard cleanup? Wowser! Topscape. Regular landscaping? Shazam! Topscape. Lawn mowing? Cut to the chase! Topscape. Commercial snow removal, give Topscape a call. Fair pricing, cleanup after themselves perfect. When they bring out their crews it’s like a swarm of hardworking people that are kind, courteous and definitely professional. Mike Z. In Coal Valley, Illinois.
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.
Topscape Landscaping were very professional and very easy and accommodating to work with! Loved the suggestions that Giovanni made with our project. Giovanni and his team were very courteous and helpful and answered any questions we had while they were working on our landscaping project. They were also very mindful of our newly laid sod and were very meticulous with cleaning up afterwards. Communication with Giovanni by texting and email was very responsive. Will highly recommend to others and use Topscape Landscaping for future projects.
We've used Gio and his team for two different projects. Both times were great experiences. Good communication, transparent with pricing, and delivers great outcomes. There's a reason they don't have anything lower than a 5-star review. We'll be reaching out to Topscape again for any future projects!
They were super patient, respectful, and communicative throughout the entire process. The work was absolutely stellar and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping work! They built an entire retaining wall and replaced my rotted stairs in about a week (barring the raining weather). I asked for a shortened timespan due to the failing wall and they delivered in SPADES! Thank you, Giovanni!
I am writing to express my appreciation for the exceptional service provided by TopScape Landscaping. The retainer wall is beautiful and it meets all our expectation. In addition, the landscaping in our backyard went above and beyond and we were so grateful for the extra care you provided. Your team's dedication, hard work ethic and attention to detail has set the benchmark for excellence in landscaping services. Once again, thank you for your outstanding work. Sharon & George Meister
Very professional, patient, artistic and great work ethics of entire team.. loved the work and end product with reasonable pricing!
Mr. Giovanni Cedeno, Topscape Landscaping and his crew did a 5-star job. I am incredibly pleased with his quick response to requested spring clean-up, which also included a fresh top mulch to cover my flower beds and bare landscape. They are easy to work with, very thorough, an excellent landscaper at what they do at a very fair cost.
The Topscape Team did an amazing job on my backyard woodline. The weeds and leaves had overtaken part of the yard and they cleaned up to my property line along the entire backyard. Giovanni and his crew were very professional, and the price was right. I highly recommend this company and I would definitely use them the again.
It was a pleasure getting to work with Topscape! Giovanni was top notch at communicating when the team would be present to work on our retaining wall. Throughout the process he asked questions and communicated with us to be sure we were happy with the final product. His team worked tirelessly and finished a large job in 5 days. We are beyond happy with the finished product and how clean they left the space after they were finished. I’d highly recommend Topscape to anyone looking for landscaping/retaining wall needs. I would love to use Topscape again if we have any other needs arise!
Gio and his team addressed my needs extremely fast and the service was done immediately! They sent me pictures to see the work before they left as well as made sure I was satisfied with the work. Thank you!
We can’t thank Gio and his team enough at Topscape! We had a company fail us on 8 properties for snow removal. Gio and his team were able to clean up the disaster the old contractor left us and has earned our business moving forward. I highly recommend this company if you’re looking for quality and honest work!
Highly recommend this company. Customer service was outstanding and the work completed was a 10 out of 10. They were a blessing to me and are definitely a blessing to the quad cities. Do not hesitate to give them your business!!!
The BEST and I don't say that easily!! Today you don't get kind and honorable customer service and I received both. They took us on as a new customer in the middle of the unprecedented storms we are having. Showed up when they said they would and dug out 2 days worth of blizzard at a very, very fair price. Giovanni was very kind and when they arrived, for their second plowing, they spoke to us to make sure everything was okay. I just cannot say enough positive things about my interactions with this company!!!
This company was very professional and did an excellent job with landscaping my front yard. I am excited about using them to do my backyard in the spring.
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.
