Bush Removal Project in East Hartford, CT
Project Overview
We recently completed a bush removal project for a homeowner in the Burnside neighborhood of East Hartford, CT. The front of the home was lined with outdated, overgrown shrubs that blocked the windows and made the entryway feel dark and cramped. The homeowner wanted to open up the space for better light, easier maintenance, and a cleaner curb appeal before spring landscaping began.
Why Bush Removal Matters for East Hartford Homes
Many properties in East Hartford were built decades ago with dense foundation plantings that have since become oversized or diseased. Over time, these bushes can create safety issues, block airflow, or attract pests. In this case, the shrubs were difficult to trim, obstructed walkways, and no longer matched the homeowner’s design goals.
Our Removal and Cleanup Process
We started with a walkthrough to identify which plants should be removed completely and which could be trimmed or shaped. For the targeted removals, we used root-cutting techniques to prevent regrowth and ensured all stumps were fully extracted. We then leveled the ground, hauled away debris, and installed topsoil where needed.
The client asked for a clean slate to allow for future planting, so we prepped the beds with mulch and weed barrier fabric. This left the space open and low-maintenance while still visually appealing. The entire process took one day, and we left the property tidy and ready for planting season.
