When to trim a cedar hedgeA cedar hedge is a great and more economical strategy than fencing to keep your home private from the neighborhood. However, a cedar hedge needs annual trimming.

However, since the time frame for this is quite short, we recommend that you make an appointment well in advance. It is recommended to trim cedars between July and September. If necessary, we can also agree with you on a predetermined annual period to maintain your hedge. This will give you peace of mind knowing that the trimming will be done in a timely manner. |

Successful hedge trimming

It is highly recommended to trim leaving two thirds of the new growth in place. Sometimes we can go more drastic and remove up to half of it. But if this limit is exceeded, it is the development of the plant that suffers.
