When to trim a cedar hedgeIn your opinion, do residents of Montreal prefer to enclose their property with a fence or a cedar hedge? The latter is without a doubt one of the most popular solutions! After all, it is inexpensive, natural, and soundproof. What more could you ask for in terms of privacy? However, beware of those who do not maintain it, because this negligence produces deplorable results. A shaggy, sickly hedge full of holes is not an enchanting sight. Don't particularly like the idea of doing it yourself? Then have your cedar hedge maintained annually by our Pierrefonds tree service arborists! We guarantee it will look great.
However, this maintenance should not be done at any time of the year. The best time to do it is near summer or by the end of August. This is because the cedars have grown all they have to grow for the current year. Proceeding during the spring and fall seasons, or during heat waves, is not recommended.

Some rules in the art of cedar hedges trimming
Cedar hedge trimming should also be adapted to the stage of development of the species. On young trees, the operation is limited to the lateral branches. Once the desired elevation is reached, the procedure can target the upper branches or the top.
It is also essential not to cut too much from the length of the branches. One third is still the optimum, sometimes more, but always proceed with caution. It would be a shame to compromise the growth of your cedars!
Most people opt for a rounded shape, but conical shapes are also available. In addition, the latter facilitates the accessibility of light to reach the larger part of the branches, which strengthens the species, rendering them more resistant, particularly in the face of storms or other bouts of severe weather.
These are three of the many principles that must be respected when trimming a cedar hedge. Their application ensures diligent maintenance and an enviable appearance. Let our Pierrefonds tree service certified arborists take care of this for you. We are available across Montreal.

Tree training is less commonly known, but equally appreciated when looking at the results.
