Benefits of Professional Hedge Care
Thick, Even Growth
Regular trimming encourages dense, uniform growth that keeps your hedge looking full and healthy year after year.
Prevent Browning & Disease
Proper maintenance helps prevent browning, fungal issues, and pest infestations that can damage hedges from the inside.
Maintain Property Lines
Keep hedges neat and within property boundaries, maintaining good neighbour relations and a tidy appearance.
Annual Plans Available
Set up a seasonal maintenance plan so your hedges always look their best without the hassle of scheduling each visit.
Common Cedar Hedge Problems
Browning from the inside out: This usually happens when hedges become too dense for air and light to reach inner branches. Regular trimming prevents this by maintaining airflow throughout the hedge.
Thinning at the base: Hedges that are wider at the top than the bottom lose lower growth over time. Proper shaping keeps the base slightly wider than the top, allowing sunlight to reach all parts of the hedge.
Snow and ice damage: Heavy snow loads can split or flatten cedar hedges. An annual trim before winter helps hedges hold their shape through Ontario's harsh winters.
Overgrowth encroaching on property lines: Cedar hedges left untrimmed can quickly grow beyond property boundaries. Regular maintenance keeps them within bounds and maintains good neighbor relations.
