When is it the best time to cut hedges?

In general, it is best to trim hedges in the late spring or early summer, after the threat of frost has passed and the hedge has started to grow new foliage.

Some hedges, such as deciduous hedges, should be trimmed while they are still dormant in the late winter or early spring. This will allow the hedge to put all its energy into new growth and help it to maintain a neat and compact shape.

Other hedges, such as evergreen hedges, can be trimmed throughout the growing season. These hedges should be trimmed more frequently to maintain a neat and orderly appearance.

It is important to use the correct tools when trimming hedges, and to follow the specific instructions for the type of hedge you are trimming. Trim the hedge evenly, taking care not to remove too much foliage at once, as this can damage the hedge.
