Optimal Timing for Shrub Trimming

Proper timing promotes healthy growth and enhances landscape appearance throughout the year.

Understanding the optimal time for shrub trimmings is essential for promoting healthy growth and maintaining landscape aesthetics. Proper timing ensures that shrubs recover quickly and flourish in subsequent seasons.

Spring Trimming

Best performed after the last frost, typically in early spring. It encourages vigorous growth and prepares shrubs for the growing season.

Summer Trimming

Suitable for shaping and maintaining shrubs during the peak growing period. Care should be taken to avoid excessive trimming in hot weather.

Fall Trimming

Ideal for tidying up shrubs before winter. It helps prevent disease and prepares plants for dormancy.
