Proper hedge trimming is both an art and a science. Unlike simple mowing where one technique works for all grass, different shrub species require specific timing, tools, and techniques for optimal results. Spring-flowering shrubs like lilacs, forsythia, and mockorange must be trimmed immediately after flowering or you'll remove next year's blooms.

Summer-flowering shrubs like roses and butterfly bushes are pruned in early spring before growth begins. Evergreen hedges like arborvitae, juniper, and boxwood are best shaped in late spring after the first flush of growth, then touched up mid-summer if needed for dense growth. We track the timing for each plant type to optimize health and appearance.
