Best Times for Shrub Trimming

Proper timing enhances shrub health and appearance across seasons for a vibrant landscape.

Shrub trimmings are a vital part of maintaining healthy and aesthetically pleasing landscapes. Proper timing ensures shrubs remain vigorous and resistant to pests and diseases. The optimal period for trimming varies based on shrub type and local climate conditions.

Spring Trimming

Best for early-growing shrubs to promote healthy growth and shape. Trimming before new growth begins encourages dense foliage.

Summer Trimming

Ideal for shaping and removing dead or overgrown branches. Conduct trimming after the peak flowering period for flowering shrubs.

Fall Trimming

Suitable for reducing shrub size and preparing plants for dormancy. Avoid heavy trimming late in the season to prevent stress.

Winter Trimming

Applicable for certain deciduous shrubs when they are dormant. Helps establish a clean shape and remove damaged branches.
