Importance of hedge trimming
Cedar (Thuja occidentalis, in Latin) is very popular in urban areas, and for good reason. When used as a hedge, it offers several significant benefits. It can act as a windbreak and sound barrier, while also enhancing the appearance of your property. In addition, a cedar hedge increases property value.
When done properly, regular cedar maintenance is essential to preserve its beauty and long-term health. Hedge trimming helps control the desired size, prevents sagging caused by snow accumulation, and promotes even light exposure across the entire outer surface.
If hedge trimming is not performed annually, hedges can become too wide and grow excessively tall, eventually extending into neighboring properties and your yard. Regular trimming also helps keep cedars healthy and dense by removing dry branches.
Deciduous shrub hedges also benefit greatly from annual trimming to maintain their desired size and improve thickness.
Hedge trimming is generally done by shaping the hedge into a slightly rounded trapezoid form at the top to prevent snow from weighing it down. All work should be carried out using the proper equipment.
When should hedge trimming be done
The best time to perform hedge trimming for cedar hedges is from late June to mid-July, as this is the period of strongest growth during the summer. It is also the ideal time for neglected hedges that need to be reduced by 2 feet or more and shaped in preparation for winter. For lighter trimming, hedge trimming can be done from late July until the first fall frosts.
