When to trim a cedar hedgeWhy are cedar hedges so popular? Their affordability certainly plays a significant role. In addition, it is a natural way to provide soundproofing benefits, protecting your privacy from neighbors like no other solution. However, proper maintenance is essential to keep them looking great. Cedar hedges with countless gaps are not inviting. So, to keep your hedge looking its best, it must be trimmed every year. Our Beaconsfield tree service arborists can handle this task for you.
However, you should know that this operation should take place between the last days of June and the end of August. The reason is simple: the trees have passed their annual growth by then. It is not advisable to do it in spring or fall. Heat waves are not a good time either. All in all, you have little time in the year to do this task. So, make an appointment early. Why not set up an allocated time each year for us to trim your cedars? You can contact us, Emondage Beaconsfield, at 514-600-1513. This is also a good time to ask about our other tree services. |

Some rules in the art of cedar hedge trimming
Early in the life of a cedar, trimming focuses on the side branches. This allows the tree to grow freely upright. Once the desired height is reached, cedar hedge trimming can then be done on the upper branches, including the head.
It is important not to trim more than a third of the new shoots, or even half, if necessary, but not much more. As for the shape, you can choose between round or conical. The latter has the advantage of promoting the passage of light throughout the foliage and therefore helps to make the tree stronger. During winter, when a heavy weight of snow is covering the branches, the tree will be more resistant.
This gives you an overview of the essential knowledge behind cedar hedge trimming. Relying on experience and expertise is therefore incredibly wise. It would be a shame to compromise the look of your hedge, forever, because of an involuntary gesture. We are available to serve you anywhere in Montreal.
