Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you time your hedges and shrubs?
The frequency of hedge trimming depends on the species and your aesthetic goals. Fast-growing varieties might require 2-3 trims per growing season, whereas others might need just one or two. Our experts can provide tailored advice on trimming intervals during a personalized on-site consultation.
When is the best time to trim hedges and shrubs?
The best timing for trimming hedges varies by plant type. Typically, evergreen hedges should be pruned in late spring to early summer, while deciduous hedges benefit from pruning in late winter to early spring, during their dormant period.

What is the difference between pruning and trimming?
Pruning entails the strategic removal of branches to enhance plant health and form, whereas trimming aims to keep hedges and shrubs uniformly neat. Although often used synonymously, these terms refer to distinct gardening practices.
How much should be trimmed off a hedge or shrub at once?
A helpful guideline is to trim no more than one-third of a plant's growth at once. Over-pruning can stress plants, hindering their healthy development.
How do you trim hedges and shrubs?
For trimming tall hedges and shrubs, we employ tools like pole pruners or extendable hedge trimmers. To ensure safety and precision, we use step ladders to reach higher branches. Note that taller vegetation may incur higher labor costs due to the extended time required.
