prevents legginess

property value

with walkways or structures

investment

Best Practices for Different Hedge Types
Different hedge species require specific care approaches:
- Evergreen Hedges - Trim in late spring or early summer, avoid late-season
cutting
- Deciduous Hedges - Can be trimmed in late winter or early spring before new
growth
- Flowering Hedges - Trim after blooming period to preserve flowers for the next
season
- Fast-Growing Hedges - May require trimming 2-3 times per growing season
Seasonal Considerations
Timing affects hedge health and appearance:
- Spring - Light trimming to remove winter damage and shape new growth
- Summer - Regular maintenance trimming for formal hedges
- Fall - Final trimming of the season, removing any summer growth
- Winter - Structural pruning for deciduous hedges while dormant
