When to trim hedges?
What is the best time to trim my hedges?
The same principles that apply to trees apply to hedges.
There is no “correct answer” to this question as each situation may be very different and dependent on what it is you are trying to achieve. Again, we strongly recommend that you consult with a Certified Arborist.
Generally speaking, because of the dormancy of the winter months, doing your hedges in the fall allows you the most time between cuttings. However, most people prefer to trim their hedges in the Spring to enjoy the benefits of a freshly trimmed hedge.
Ideally, a hedge should be trimmed twice a year for maximum benefit.
