01
Inspect the Hedge
Identify any diseased or dead branches that need removal.
02
Trimming Height
Use a string or a guide to maintain an even height across the entire hedge. Trim the top first and then work on the sides.
03
Taper the Sides
Taper the sides slightly so that the top is narrower than the bottom. This allows sunlight to reach all parts of the hedge, promoting healthy growth
04
Angle the Cut
Angle the cut slightly outward when trimming the sides. This helps prevent the lower branches from being shaded by the upper ones.
05
Cut at a Slant
Make your cuts at a slight slant rather than straight across. This promotes water runoff and minimizes the chance of disease
06
Remove Diseased or Dead Wood:
Trim away any dead or diseased branches, cutting back to healthy wood.
