Annual hedge trimming

Cedar hedges provide excellent privacy, block wind, and reduce noise. They are durable, look great year-round, and require little maintenance, making life easier.

Annual maintenance is essential to keep a hedge dense and well-structured. During this service, we typically remove between one-third and one-half of new growth.

We also remove dead, broken, or dry branches to strengthen the hedge, while preserving enough vegetation to ensure continued dense and healthy growth.

One of the best practices for successful hedge trimming is to give it a conical shape, meaning narrower at the top than at the base. This shape allows the lower branches to receive better light exposure, helping them grow evenly.

In addition, a slightly rounded top helps prevent snow accumulation (which can bend the hedge and deform its structure).

Formative pruning

In the first years following the planting of your hedge, our approach is slightly different.

At this stage, we trim the sides only, while keeping the base wider.

This allows the hedge to focus on growing in height rather than width, which is important for achieving a well-shaped and vigorous hedge.

If desired, after formative pruning, we can apply fertilizer to promote the growth of your cedars and give them an extra boost.

Hedge rejuvenation (severe pruning)

A hedge left unmaintained for several years can lose its shape and density, especially at the base. In this case, a more intensive pruning, known as rejuvenation pruning, is recommended.

It helps reduce the overall size of the hedge and remove dead or overly dense sections. This intervention restores vigor and encourages the growth of new shoots.

Applying fertilizer can also help accelerate this process.

Personalized advice

Before trimming your hedge, we take the time to speak with you to understand your expectations.

We then tailor our work based on your needs and the condition of your hedge. Our expertise ensures a clean, long-lasting result.

Hedge removal and stump removal

If you want to completely remove a hedge, we also offer a full professional removal and stump removal service.

We handle everything, from the initial clearing to the removal of green waste, while following eco-friendly practices such as wood recycling and branch chipping into useful mulch.

Hedge planting

If you are starting from scratch and want to plant a cedar hedge, the ROBI-TAILLE team can help.

We sell several cedar species that are well suited to our climate. These trees are hardy and resistant to pests and harsh winter conditions.

However, before planting your cedars, a soil analysis is essential. This helps determine whether the soil needs specific nutrients such as potassium, nitrogen, or sulfur.

Proper fertilization is then carried out to ensure optimal growth. After planting a hedge, watering is essential to promote strong root establishment. We therefore install an irrigation system at the base of the hedge.

During the first few weeks, the soil should remain moist without being waterlogged. Deep watering promotes strong root development and healthy growth, even during hot and dry periods.

An initial trimming is recommended once the hedge is well established to give it the desired shape and ensure proper development.

This follow-up is essential for cedars to grow optimally and maintain their appearance throughout the year.
