How often should shrubs and hedges be trimmed?

Formal hedges that need precise shapes should be trimmed every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season. Informal shrubs can usually go 2 to 3 times per year.

Can you trim shrubs that have gotten really overgrown?

Yes, we can renovate overgrown shrubs to bring them back to a manageable size. Some shrubs tolerate heavy pruning and bounce back quickly. Others need to be cut back gradually over a year or two.

What is the best time of year to trim shrubs?

It depends on the type of shrub. Spring-flowering shrubs like azaleas should be trimmed right after they finish blooming. Summer-flowering shrubs can be trimmed in late winter or early spring.

Keep Your Landscaping Looking Sharp

Your shrubs and hedges are the finishing touches that make your property look polished and well cared for. But they grow fast, especially during our Louisiana growing season. Before you know it, neat hedges turn into overgrown messes that make your whole yard look neglected. Regular trimming keeps your landscaping looking intentional and attractive.

Trimming is not just about looks either. Overgrown shrubs block windows, create hiding spots for pests, and can damage siding or foundations when branches rub against your house. Dense, untrimmed hedges trap moisture and create ideal conditions for mold and mildew. Regular trimming promotes air circulation, allows sunlight to reach inner branches, and keeps plants healthy and vibrant.

Here in Lake Charles, heat and humidity make shrubs grow like crazy from spring through fall. What looks good in March can be out of control by June. Hedges need shaping several times a year to maintain clean lines and proper size. Flowering shrubs need careful timing so you do not cut off next season blooms. Professional trimming ensures your plants get the care they need when they need it.
