What Is Hedge Trimming?
Hedge pruning and trimming is the cutting of dead and overgrown parts of hedges. It’s an important part of garden maintenance as it keeps greenery healthy and appealing.
Just like tree trimming, hedge trimming is a preventive measure against the spread of pests and diseases. It also encourages symmetrical growth, and the end result is a beautification of your green space.
The Aesthetics of Hedges
Hedges help create order in your landscaping. It’s like a collaboration between man and nature to define your garden. Hedges are natural fences, and they protect your lawn and give your home privacy.
Unlike man-made fences, air circulates in hedges which helps when there are strong winds. A traditional fence creates damaging resistance, but hedges only lessen the wind pressure. Branches may break but you only have to clean up and let them grow back naturally.
As arborists, we also recommend hedges for environmental reasons. Like all plants, hedges help create better air quality and are good for the environment offering shelter to birds, insects, and other small mammals.
Common Types of Hedges
At Devine Arboricultural Solutions, we’re experienced in maintaining all kinds of hedges. Our extensive knowledge of each species’ biology allows us to give your hedges the best care they can get. Here are just some of the most common hedges you might consider:
- Cedar hedge
- Laurel hedge
- Boxwood hedge
- Holly hedge
- Hemlock hedge
- Cypress hedge
- Yew hedge
What Hedge Should You Get?
There are several factors to consider when picking the right hedge. If you prioritize beauty and flexibility, you should consider the natural shape of the hedge. You can add colour to your garden by adding flowering hedges.
Get shrubs that grow tall if you need to build a bushy fence in straight lines. This provides better security, privacy, and a more resilient windbreak. Of course, bigger shrubs also require more hedge maintenance.
The seasons also play a role in your lawn care. Deciduous shrubs shed their leaves annually while evergreen hedges have a more constant foliage even in winter. This and their growth rate decide how often you should tend to them.
We can assist homeowners to find the ideal new hedge to get for the perfect landscape design. Consult with us and we will recommend the best hedge that matches your property and preferences.
Why Should You Trim Your Hedges?
An unkempt hedge can be less attractive and may impact the health of your green spaces. Dead or diseased branches, roots, can spread disease if let go. Overgrown shrubs can also cause an imbalance in the distribution of resources across your plants.
Routinely thinning the top of your hedges creates better air circulation. A trimmed hedge receives proper sunlight, water, and airflow from the root up. Our hedge-trimming professionals will not just trim your hedges for aesthetic appeal, but also for long-term health.
When is the Best Time to Trim Hedges?
The best time to trim your hedges will depend on their species and growth rate. We will help develop the right strategy for your hedge care. With efficient timing, you can save money in the long run while getting the best out of your hedges.
To give you an idea, non-flowering hedges like laurel and cedar are usually trimmed twice a year. Vancouver rains make these hedges grow faster so they must be kept in shape more frequently.
Flowering hedges usually need a single trimming in a year. They’re best trimmed right after they bloom, be it in the spring or summer.
Why Hire a Professional?
Unlike tree work, caring for hedges looks more manageable to homeowners. But if you want high-quality landscaping, you should get expert arborists and trimmers. Doing trimming yourself requires extensive research, time, and tools to get good results.
With years of experience, knowledge, and skills, we go beyond hedge health and beauty. We also consider the surrounding plant life and even bird nesting seasons in our shrub trimming.
