Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Hedge Trimming in Philadelphia

What shrubs are common in Philadelphia gardens?

Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and Yews are Philly staples that require careful, timed pruning.

When should I prune my Philly Azaleas?

Always prune them in late spring, immediately after the flowers fade, to ensure blooms for next year.

Can pruning help Philly shrubs survive the snow?

Properly thinned shrubs in Philly are less likely to suffer broken branches under the weight of wet winter snow.

How do I prune hedges for privacy in Philly?

Philly pros use shears for formal hedges (like Yews) to maintain a crisp, clean look in compact urban spaces.

Do Philly pros handle historic garden maintenance?

Yes, many are experienced with the older, established plantings found in Philly's historic neighborhoods.

How do I shape "Rhododendrons" in Philly?

Philly pros use "selective pruning" to maintain the natural, tiered look of these classic Pennsylvania shrubs.

When should I prune my Philly Hydrangeas?

It depends on the type; Philly pros know which ones bloom on "old wood" to avoid cutting off next year's buds.

Is it safe to prune Philly shrubs in late fall?

It's best to wait for spring or summer to avoid "stimulating" new growth that will be killed by the Philly winter.

How do I maintain Boxwood hedges in Philly?

Shearing every 3 months is the standard for keeping Philly boxwoods dense and formal.

Can I get my Philly roses pruned in the spring?

Yes, early April is the ideal time to prune roses in Philly to prepare for the June bloom.
