Maintenance

Hedges are a key feature of any landscape, acting as living fences, privacy screens, windbreaks, and even property-defining design elements. But like any important part of your garden, they require regular care to stay healthy, strong, and visually appealing. Without consistent maintenance, hedges can quickly become overgrown, uneven, and weak, leading to problems such as thinning foliage, bare patches, pest infestations, and disease. When hedges grow unchecked, the outer growth can shade and kill inner branches, causing dieback and reducing the hedge’s overall density. Over time, this can result in costly replacement or major restoration work.

​

Regular shaping and trimming are essential for maintaining a hedge’s structure and promoting dense, even growth. A properly trimmed hedge encourages new shoots and keeps the foliage thick from top to bottom. In fact, many hedge species require pruning at least four times a year to stay in optimal condition, and more frequently in fast-growing climates. Maintenance also helps prevent common issues such as fungal disease, pests, and poor airflow problems that thrive in overgrown or poorly shaped hedges. Good pruning technique also ensures your hedge maintains the correct shape, slope, and balance, preventing unsightly bulges, uneven growth, and weak lower branches.
