The general rule of thumb when it comes to your garden hedge is to trim and prune at least twice a year whilst shaping during the summer months.
The Spring trim – prune and contour the hedge.
The Winter trim – Remove weak shoots to stop them drawing power from the plant unnecessarily. Carry out first generation pruning.
The Summer shape – Keep hedge in shape, if irregularities are found within the growth they should be cleared.
