Optimal Timing for Shrub Trimming

Proper timing promotes healthy growth and maintains the desired shape of shrubs.

Shrub trimmings are a vital part of maintaining healthy and aesthetically pleasing landscapes. Proper timing ensures shrubs grow vigorously and retain their desired shape. The optimal period for trimming varies based on shrub type, climate, and specific growth patterns.

Spring Trimming

Early spring before new growth begins is ideal for shaping and removing dead or damaged branches.

Summer Trimming

Light trimming during summer encourages bushiness and flowering, especially for flowering shrubs.

Fall Trimming

Late fall is suitable for pruning to prepare shrubs for dormancy and to promote healthy growth in the next season.

Avoid Winter Trimming

Trimming during winter can expose shrubs to cold damage and is generally not recommended unless necessary.
