Optimal Trimming Schedules for Lombard

Timing is crucial for effective shrub and hedge trimming. Most hedges benefit from trimming 2-3 times per year to maintain shape and density. Spring trimming after new growth emerges shapes plants for the growing season. Mid-summer trimming controls size and maintains formal shapes. Late summer or early fall trimming prepares plants for winter while avoiding stimulation of tender new growth.

Flowering shrubs require special timing to avoid removing flower buds. Spring-blooming shrubs should be trimmed immediately after flowering, while summer-blooming varieties are best trimmed in late winter or early spring. Our team understands these nuances and schedules trimming to maximize both plant health and aesthetic appeal. We can establish a regular maintenance schedule that keeps your landscape looking its best year-round, similar to our approach with tree health programs.
