Cedar hedging is an excellent choice for adding privacy and charm to your outdoor space. As evergreens, cedars retain their lush green foliage throughout the year, providing year-round beauty and vibrant color even during the colder months. When planted in rows, they create natural hedges that not only enhance privacy but also elevate the aesthetics of your property. However, without regular care, cedars can grow into tree-like shapes, spreading outward and losing their dense hedge appearance. This makes routine trimming essential to maintain their functionality and privacy benefits.
Proper pruning helps your hedge remain thick and compact, creating a uniform look that ensures maximum privacy. It also prevents gaps that can arise when cedars grow unevenly. Additionally, a well-maintained cedar hedge is better equipped to handle snow in the winter, allowing it to shed snow easily and avoid damage. At Adamson Tree Experts, we understand the importance of keeping your hedges in peak condition and are here to offer expert care for your trees and hedges.
Our skilled team of arborists specializes in cedar hedge maintenance. Whether you need precise trimming or complete rejuvenation, we have the tools and expertise to get the job done right. We recommend slightly rounding the top of your hedge rather than keeping it flat. This small adjustment helps snow slide off smoothly, preventing buildup that could harm the hedge over time.
At Adamson Tree Experts, we do more than just trim. We evaluate the health of your hedge and look for issues like insect infestations (e.g., Fletcher scale, cedar leaf miner, or spider mites) or signs of poor soil quality. A healthy hedge is just as important as a well-manicured one. That’s why we offer tailored solutions, including soil treatments and fertilizers, to improve growth and vitality.
If your hedge has been neglected for years, our certified arborists may recommend a more intensive pruning process to restore it to a manageable size. This could involve reducing the height significantly and reshaping the sides to regain its structure. While this approach can take time to achieve full results, the outcome is worth the effort. With proper care moving forward, your hedge can return to its former glory, delivering both beauty and privacy.
