I cannot find someone to do it, so I need to do it myself. I offered to pay someone who was already working in the area, and he wanted 100 dollars, which was way more than the job was worth. I would gladly pay about 40 dollars for this 20 minute job, but there doesn't seem to be anyone who wants to do it. The shrubs only need to be trimmed about every 4 or 5 months.
It gives you a company that does trimming, for each home would be different cost. I don’t think anyone here can tell you what company will come for $40. If it’s only 20 minutes every quarter I would do it myself.

Our lawn guys trim at our other houses for $12 when the bushes need it.
