Hedges

Certainly not all, but many of the hedges in Vancouver are Arborvitae, Laurel, Photinia, Boxwood or Privet. Hedges can be sheared almost any time of year to produce a uniform size and shape. When feeding the lawn, I feed the hedge, trees and shrubs as well. Here are some examples of Arborvitae, Laurel and Privet hedges.


Here are some examples, before and after.

When trimming any hedge, including this Laurel...

it should be taken up off the ground as well.

Shaded Arborvitae hedge
This Arborvitae hedge is shorter on the left end because a tree shades it there.
Evened out Arborvitae hedge

So I start at the shortest point and make it even across the top from there.

Unkempt Privet hedge
Even a Privet hedge...

...can look pretty good.

Large green hedge
When trimming any hedge, it's important to round the top corners,...

because it makes the hedge look more natural.
