When you choose us, you’re choosing care, professionalism, and expertise.
The best time to trim hedges depends on the type of hedge and the climate, but for most types of hedges, late spring to early summer is ideal. This is when your hedge is actively growing, making it the perfect time to shape and maintain the health of your hedges. Trimming during this period encourages lush, even growth and ensures your hedges stay strong and vibrant.
For evergreen hedges, a light trim in spring followed by a summer shaping is ideal, while deciduous hedges are best pruned in late winter before new growth begins. If you're looking for hedge trimming services in Melbourne, we can help you choose the right time based on your specific hedge type and location.
Key points to consider:
There are specific times when cutting hedges can do more harm than good. Avoid trimming hedges during their dormant phase in late autumn and winter, as this can weaken them and make them more susceptible to frost damage. Similarly, trimming during peak summer heat can stress your hedges and cause browning.
It’s also essential to consider wildlife. Many birds nest in hedges during spring, so check for active nests before trimming. As part of our garden maintenance services, we always ensure responsible hedge care practices to protect both your plants and local wildlife.
Things to avoid:
Disturbing nesting birds during spring.
Yes, hedge trimming and hedge pruning are distinct hedging services with different goals. Hedge trimming is about maintaining the shape and appearance of your hedges, ensuring they stay neat and tidy. It’s more focused on aesthetics and is typically done more frequently.
Hedge pruning, on the other hand, is about the health of your hedges. It involves carefully cutting back dead, damaged, or diseased branches to encourage healthy growth and improve airflow. This process is usually less frequent but more targeted.
Differences at a glance:
Absolutely! Regular trimming with sharp hedge trimmers encourages your hedge to grow thicker and fuller. When you trim the tips of the branches, it stimulates new growth from the sides, filling in gaps and creating a lush, dense appearance.
The key is to trim during the growing season and avoid overcutting, as this can stress the plant. If you’re not sure how to approach it, our team of experienced gardeners can take care of the job for you.
For thicker hedges:
Yes, we can! Thickening your hedges is all about consistent care. By carefully trimming, pruning, and nourishing your plants, we can encourage denser growth and a fuller appearance.
We also provide additional support, such as fertilising and checking the soil health, to ensure your hedges are growing in optimal conditions. If your hedges have bare patches or uneven growth, we’ll tailor a plan to restore their vitality. As part of our gardening services in Melbourne, we make hedge thickening simple and hassle-free.
