Hedge Maintenance Timing Guide

Proper scheduling of pruning and trimming promotes healthy, dense, and attractive hedges year-round.

Hedge maintenance is essential for maintaining the health, appearance, and growth of hedges. The timing of maintenance activities such as pruning, trimming, and shaping can significantly impact the vigor and aesthetics of the hedge. Proper scheduling ensures optimal growth cycles are respected, reducing stress on the plants and promoting dense, healthy foliage.

Spring Maintenance

Spring is ideal for light pruning and shaping to encourage new growth and prepare hedges for the growing season.

Summer Trimming

Summer trimming helps maintain shape and control growth during the peak growing season, especially in early summer.

Fall Pruning

Fall pruning can be performed to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape hedges before winter dormancy.

Winter Considerations

In colder climates, hedge maintenance is usually minimal during winter to prevent damage from harsh weather conditions.
