What is hedge trimming?

What time of year should we trim our hedges?

For rather young hedges, in the first year, it’s vital to keep up regular pruning promote growth and development. This will be best to undertake in the early spring or late winter.

As the hedge gets older, a couple of years of age, hedge trimming should be completed annually. To get that more formal style, we recommend at least 2-3 cuts each year. Late spring and late summer seasons are the best times to cut these older hedges.

Balancing out a hedge is vital so we like to trim all sides as equal as possible, even in hard to reach areas.
