When Do I Need Shrub Maintenance?

The best time to trim your hedges or shrubs varies depending on the type of plant and the season. Certain shrubs benefit from springtime pruning, while others shouldn’t be pruned until winter. The Majestic Tree Service team can let you know the best time to prune your specific shrub.

There are a few signs that your shrub could use a little extra attention. Be on the lookout for the following symptoms:

  • Damaged, diseased, or dead branches: These can be signs of a larger problem with the shrub. Trimming can mitigate the risk of these problems spreading to other plants.
  • Discolored leaves: These can also be a sign of disease or improper watering. Either way, a tree specialist can help out.
  • Uncontrolled growth: This is more of a cosmetic problem, but if your shrub is growing in a direction you don’t want it to, pruning is the best way to take care of that.

FAQs About Hedge and Shrub Trimming

Do you have questions about trimming your hedges and shrubs? We have answers.

Below, you’ll find some of the most common questions clients ask us and what we tell them. If your question isn’t answered here, don’t hesitate to call or email us and speak directly with one of our friendly experts.

How can I tell if my shrubs and hedges need trimming?

Shrubs and hedges are usually grown for ornamental purposes, so mostly, it’s a matter of preference. You can think of it like a haircut. Does it look good to you – or is it time for a clean up? 

However, aesthetics aren’t the only consideration – just the most common. Sometimes it’s a matter of keeping the plant healthy and thriving.

Some considerations for when you should trim your shrubs and hedges include:

  • The “shaggy” look: They’ve lost their shape and look overgrown and messy.
  • Thinning on top, bare at the bottom: Sunlight isn’t reaching the lower branches, causing them to die off.
  • Dead or diseased branches: You spot brown, brittle, or sickly-looking sections.
  • Blocked paths and windows: They’re becoming a neighborhood menace, encroaching on sidewalks, driveways, or your view.
  • Weak and leggy growth: New stems are long and floppy instead of strong and dense.
  • You can see through them: The hedge is no longer a solid, private screen.
How much does shrub and hedge trimming cost?

When we provide an estimate for hedge trimming, it’s based on the size of the hedge and the amount of work that must be completed.

At Majestic Tree Service, our goal is exceptional service at an affordable price every time. We invite you to give us a call and get a free hedge trimming estimate to think about. Feel free to speak with other hedge care companies in the area and ask questions – we feel confident that none of them can match our combination of price and quality.

How often should you trim your hedges?

Trimming can be stressful for the plant. That’s why, after you trim your hedges, it’s important to give them adequate time to heal and regrow. If not, it could weaken your hedges and leave them susceptible to damage, disease, and poor growth.

We recommend trimming your hedges about twice per year. Once at the beginning of spring, when it’s starting to warm up, and once toward the end of summer, when there should still be a few more weeks of warm weather, is a good cadence.

Is it absolutely necessary to trim your hedges?

Yes, of course! The careful design and maintenance are what make them hedges. If they grow unfettered, they simply turn into overgrown bushes.

But it’s not just for looks. Routine hedge trimming is also important for these additional reasons:

  • Promotes fuller growth: Trimming the tops and sides encourages the hedge to grow thicker and denser from the bottom up.
  • Increases sun exposure and airflow: A well-trimmed hedge allows sunlight and air to reach the inner branches and lower sections, preventing bare spots and reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
  • Removes unhealthy branches: It’s the perfect opportunity to cut out dead, diseased, or pest-infested sections, stopping problems from spreading.
  • Strengthens the plant: Regular trimming directs the plant’s energy to producing stronger, healthier new growth.
  • Enhances flower and fruit production: For flowering or fruiting hedges, proper and timely trimming can lead to more abundant blooms and fruit.
  • Maintains shape and safety: It keeps hedges from becoming overgrown, blocking paths, or interfering with structures and power lines.
