Having your hedge looked after on a seasonal schedule, it will maintain it's proper shape throughout the year.
Hedge and shrub service frequency depends on the type of plant to be trimmed.
-
Slow growing hedges, such as cedar, boxwood, yew, hemlock, etc. are normally trimmed once per year.
-
Privet hedges are trimmed 3 times per year, or on call basis.
Hedge Trimming
Height Reduction
Clients can request a drastic reduction in the height for several reasons. One example may be that it has grown too tall for a ladder, as a shorter hedge is easier to maintain. Also, a short manicured hedge may look aesthically pleasing for curb appeal. Another reason can be to allow more sunlight onto the property, while maintaining some privacy. The amount cut, and the season the cut is done will keep your plant alive and prevent the shock from being too great for survival.
