Yards are often guarded by hedges. Aside from being a boundary to protect your property, it can also give a beautiful view of your exterior designing. In fact, for some plant or garden lovers, different design for hedges is being practiced. But if you also notice, there are some hedges that don’t really look attractive at all because the interior bushes were already dead plants because of missing sunlight and air. Therefore, it is very important that you know how tom maintain hedges.
First of all, proper pruning and trimming is important. Although using shears is the best and easy way to do it, you should also put in mind that there is a proper way of using the shears. You just don’t trim the exterior portion of the hedge and allow it to grow over time. You should also consider the bushes inside the hedge because you might not know these bushes are already dead plants. Therefore, when you use the shear, make sure you are able to create little spaces so that air, sunlight and even rain, can enter freely on the interior of the hedge.
Another tip is to prune the hedges during late winter season. This time of the year has made the plant dormant and is not yet active in producing buds so you don’t need to worry if you’re plant is producing buds or not.
Also, hiring a professional to maintain your hedges at least once every two months is very important because they can properly apply the best maintenance that your hedges need.
Don’t ignore your hedges because they are very important part of your entire home. Always see to it that they have proper maintenance and apply proper ways of home maintenance to them as regularly as possible.
