Hedge Trimming Tips for a Clean, Healthy Look — San Antonio yard

Regular, light hedge trimming keeps shrubs neat and in shape. Trim gradually, keep the shape a little wider at the bottom, and clean up all trimmings when you finish.

Trim little and often

Hedges that are trimmed regularly keep a crisp shape with less effort. Letting them get badly overgrown makes it harder to bring them back to a clean form.

Shape for sunlight

A hedge that is slightly wider at the base than the top lets light reach the lower branches. That helps prevent a bare, leggy look at the bottom.

Mind the heat

During the hottest stretches of a South Texas summer, heavy cutting can leave shrubs looking stressed. Lighter shaping is usually the safer choice in extreme heat.
