Can we trim anytime?

The cedar hedge is undoubtedly the preferred option in Quebec as a privacy barrier. It has three irresistible characteristics: it is affordable, natural and soundproof. What more could you ask for? However, if you don't take good care of it, it can make your property look ugly. To avoid this pitfall, it is advisable to trim it annually.

So, it is good to know the right time to trim. The best time is between mid-June and mid-September. In the spring or fall, it is better not to trim. By doing it in the summer, you ensure that the tree has grown all it needs to take in for the current year. Periods of high heat should also be avoided.

When one does not master the principles and rules to be respected, it becomes possible to commit an irreparable act of varying severity. The most damaging can interrupt the growth of a shrub. So submit the trimming of your hedge to our seasoned arborists at Emondage L'Assomption with complete confidence. Simply call us at 579-795-2005 to make your appointment. ​

Proper trimming of cedar hedges is not for everyone

Trimming done correctly includes several possible ways, one of which is to trim only the lateral and lower branches of young cedars. Only when the tree has reached the desired height can it be topped.

You should also be aware of the benefits of the various shapes for your hedge. In particular, you should know that in addition to the option of a square shape with rounded corners, there is the conical shape. This allows light to penetrate the entire foliage. This feature makes the tree more solid. Faced with bad weather, it will be better able to hold up.

To avoid making unfortunate gestures with disastrous results, and that you absolutely do not want to commit, deal with our arborists. They will know how to make your hedge beautiful and bushy.
