Privet and boxwood hedges around Grant Park and Virginia-Highland bungalows can shoot out new growth within weeks of a trim. If your hedge blocks a window, hangs over a walkway, or looks shaggy at the top, it's time to call. Waiting too long makes the wood thicker and harder to shape. Dense overgrowth traps moisture that invites fungus in our humid climate. A sharp pair of hedge shears or a power trimmer does the real work here [](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedge_trimmer) . We've trimmed hedges for clients in Buckhead and East Atlanta Village. They waited a full season too long and paid more for the fix.

A: A DIY trim works fine for small, simple hedges. But uneven cuts or wrong-season trims can stress the plant for months. We know the right time and angle for each species in our clay soil. **Q:** How often should hedges be trimmed in Atlanta? A: Most hedges need a trim every six to eight weeks during growing season, March through October. Slower growers like boxwood can go longer. We'll tell you what your hedge needs. **Q:** How fast can you get to an overgrown hedge? A: We can often schedule a trim within the week. If a hedge is blocking a walkway or window, call us and we'll move fast to fit you in. **Q:** What are signs my hedge needs trimming? A: Look for new growth sticking out past the main shape, brown patches inside the hedge, or branches blocking light. Thick, dense growth that traps moisture is also a sign, especially in our humid summers. **Q:** Will trimming hurt my hedge? A: No, a proper trim helps hedges grow thicker and healthier. We cut just above old growth nodes so new shoots fill in fast. Bad cuts from dull tools are what actually hurt a hedge.
