When to trim a cedar hedgeThe most popular option to enclose a property is without a doubt the cedar hedge. Its thickness and greenness are both assets that play in its favor. The cedar hedge provides a natural intimacy and privacy from neighbors, compared to a typical fence. It is important to note that if left unmaintained, the cedar hedge may not reach its full potential. Cedar hedges may develop holes, stunting, and a chaotic shape, far from the manicured sanctuary of a well-groomed hedge. Instead of feeling a welcome relief in the presence of your cedar hedge, you may instead feel an exasperation at the sight of it. To ensure beautiful hedges, get them maintained!
You may be wondering when is the best time of year to do this? Late June through to late August is the ideal time of year to maintain your cedar hedge. At this stage, the shoots will have grown to an optimal range and will be ready for handling. On the contrary, times of year to avoid maintaining cedar hedges are spring and fall, or during severe heat waves. |

Some rules in the art of cedar hedge trimming
Trimming young cedars is less labor intensive than trimming mature specimens. The youngest cedars will receive the assiduity of the hedge trimmer on the lower branches. Care should be taken to remove only one to two thirds of the length of the branches. It is advised to wait until the hedge has attained its desired height, before trimming the upper branches. Too much trimming can be detrimental to the development of your cedars. A lack of knowledge regarding the handling of the cedar branches, in addition to clumsiness, can severely impact the growth and future of your cedar hedge.
As for the shape of your cedar hedge, we offer round or conical designs. The latter is less common. However, the conical shape offers the advantage of sunlight reaching all the branches, ensuring a solid foundation that is more resistant to extreme weather, such as heavy snow buildup on the branches.
The repertoire of knowledge and skills to master when caring for a cedar hedge is immense. However, with an application of proper care and expert knowledge you will have a cedar hedge that is the envy of the world. Our arborists will be happy to deliver the impeccable results you expect anywhere in Montreal.

Tree training
If you do not know the name, chances are you know it by sight. You will become aware of the results of tree training when impeccably shaped trees catch your eye. This is a technique that is practiced over the long term. The geometric qualities of tree training ranging from harmony, balance, symmetry, verticality and beyond, are all achieved with the gentle progression of time, not in a feverish haste. The gradual training of your trees will guarantee the preservation of their beauty and calming qualities.
It is paramount to measure and calculate any future tree related interventions. Starting tree training on young specimens is beneficial as you have the advantage of their flexibility and healing at hand. Once a tree reaches maturity, the branches are large, less malleable, and less likely to recover. Any well-executed tree pruning makes the large plant stronger, healthier and stimulates its growth, and in the case of fruit trees, will enhance the production of fruit.
Our experienced arborists at Emondage Westmount understand the foundations and essential techniques for training the various tree species present in Quebec and the surrounding areas. Our trusted arborists will be able to suggest pruning orientations, lighting designs, and functionality to ensure that you confidently create your dream landscape. emerald ash borer
