Timing matters for flowering shrubs
Shrubs that flower in spring, like lilac and forsythia, set next year's buds soon after they bloom. Trim them in late summer or fall and you cut off next spring's flowers, so we trim them right after they finish blooming.
Summer bloomers like panicle hydrangea and spirea flower on new growth, so they are pruned in late winter or early spring instead. Hedges grown for their shape, like yew, arborvitae and boxwood, are sheared once the spring growth has filled out.
When to trim in New Hampshire
Most hedges get a main trim in June, after the spring flush of growth, and a lighter tidy in late summer.
We avoid heavy trimming late in the fall: new growth that sprouts then doesn't have time to harden off before the first hard frost.

Hedge & shrub trimming: good to know
When should I trim my lilac or forsythia?
Right after it finishes flowering in spring. Later than that and you cut off next year's blooms.
Is it priced by the size of my yard?
No. It depends on the hedges and shrubs themselves, so we price it on site.
Do you do tree work?
No. We trim hedges and shrubs. Pruning or removing trees is a job for an arborist.
What month should I trim my hedges?
June for the main trim on most hedges, once the spring growth has filled in, with a lighter tidy in late summer.
