During the annual maintenance trimming, we cut one-third or half of the new shoots to shape your hedge. The remaining part of the new shoots will allow the cedars to continue growing while gaining density (denser cedars). We also cut dry, dead, or broken branches.
We recommend shaping your hedges into a cone shape (narrower at the top than at the base) to allow the lower stems to benefit from sunlight. Additionally, a rounded top will prevent snow from bending your hedge. Upon request, we will add fertilizer after this annual maintenance trimming.
In the years following the planting of your hedge, we only trim the sides to encourage upward growth. We keep the base wider.
