Probably more expensive, yes, but would be worth it in the long run if you could find a person that could do it. Otherwise, the shrubs quickly get to a point beyond hope and need to be replaced (at a much larger expense). We went to one of those landscape seminars a few months ago and the speaker showed photos of bad "geometrical" pruning in The Villages. The audience gasped at each one. Plenty of examples of ugly hedge-clipper "pruning" all around here. I'd certainly be willing to pay more for a job done right. We would do it ourselves, but we are not yet year-round residents.
