Hedge trimming Quad Cities: when to prune
Timing protects the plants. This is what Iowa State University Extension advises for Iowa. Call us and we will fit the work to the season.
Deciduous hedges: late winter
Extensive pruning is best in late dormancy, late February and March in Iowa. That is now the time to plan it, while the leaves are off.
Evergreen hedges: early spring
Evergreen hedges are usually pruned starting in early spring, around April.
Spring-flowering hedges: after they bloom
Plants such as lilac are pruned right after flowering, because winter cuts remove the flowers.
Shape: narrower at the top
A hedge that is narrower at the top than the bottom lets sunlight reach the lower branches and sheds snow that can break branches.
How often: 2 to 4 times a season
Most hedges need pruning 2 to 4 times during the growing season, and sometimes more, to hold their shape.
Overgrown shrubs: renewal pruning
Many deciduous shrubs can be renewed in March or early April, but spring bloomers lose that spring’s flowers, and evergreens regrow slowly or not at all from bare wood (ISU Extension).

Hedge trimming Quad Cities FAQ
How much does hedge trimming cost in the Quad Cities?
Hedge trimming Quad Cities prices depend on the length and height of the hedge, how overgrown it is, how easy it is to reach and how much cleanup there is, so we quote every job for free before we start. Ask any company for a written estimate that says what is included.
When is the best time to trim hedges in Iowa and Illinois?
Iowa State University Extension says extensive pruning of deciduous hedges is best in late dormancy, late February and March in Iowa. Evergreen hedges are usually pruned beginning in early spring, around April. Spring-flowering hedges such as lilac are pruned right after they bloom (ISU Extension).
Can you trim hedges in winter?
For deciduous hedges, yes: the late dormant season is the best time for heavy pruning, and the bare branches make the shape easy to see. Evergreen hedges are usually pruned starting in early spring. If a hedge flowers in spring, cutting it in winter removes the flowers (ISU Extension).
How often should a hedge be trimmed?
Iowa State University Extension says most deciduous and evergreen hedges need pruning 2 to 4 times during the growing season, and sometimes more, to keep their shape (ISU Extension).
What shape should a hedge be?
Narrower at the top than at the bottom. Iowa State University Extension says this lets sunlight reach the lower branches so the hedge stays full from top to bottom, and it also helps reduce snow build-up on top that can break branches (ISU Extension).
How do you fix an overgrown hedge or shrub?
For many deciduous shrubs, Iowa State University Extension describes renewal pruning in March or early April: either cut the stems back hard in one year, or remove about one-third of the oldest stems each year over three years. Spring bloomers lose that spring’s flowers (ISU Extension). Evergreens are different, so call us before anyone cuts into old wood.
Can evergreen hedges like arborvitae or boxwood be cut back hard?
Be careful. Iowa State University Extension says pines and junipers cannot regrow from bare branches, and that yew, boxwood and arborvitae can regrow from bare stems but slowly, sometimes looking poor for five years or more (ISU Extension). Light, regular trimming is the safer path.
What is the difference between hedge trimming and shrub trimming?
A hedge is a row of plants kept as a clipped screen or border. Shrub trimming shapes individual bushes, such as foundation plantings. Our hedge trimming Quad Cities service covers both.
Should I trim my own hedge or hire a pro?
A low hedge you can reach from the ground is a fair DIY job with sharp, clean tools. Tall hedges, ladders, power cutters and overgrown shrubs are where a pro earns the fee. Keep ladders and cutters away from power lines.
Do you clean up after hedge trimming?
Yes. Our customers notice that we clean up and blow off the walks and driveway when we are done.

Yes. We trim hedges, shrubs and foundation plantings. Call (309) 235-9237, describe what you have, and we will tell you plainly what the job involves.
