Trimming Calendar
The Right Time to Trim, Season by Season
Melbourne's climate swings hard between seasons — timing your trim around it keeps hedges denser and healthier.
Spring (Sep–Nov)
The main trimming window. New growth has hardened enough to cut without stressing the plant, and there's a full growing season ahead to fill back in.
Summer (Dec–Feb)
Light maintenance only. Avoid heavy cuts during heatwaves — exposed inner growth scorches fast in Melbourne's summer sun.
Autumn (Mar–May)
A second light trim suits fast growers like Lilly Pilly and Photinia before growth slows for winter.
Winter (Jun–Aug)
Best left alone for most species. Structural pruning on dormant deciduous hedges is the exception, not general shaping.

FAQs
Common Questions
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Most hedges do well with two to four trims a year, depending on the species, growth rate and the shape you're after.
What's the difference between trimming and pruning?
Trimming maintains shape and surface appearance. Pruning goes deeper, removing select branches to improve the plant's long-term health and structure.
Do you remove the green waste afterward?
Yes — green waste removal can be included so you're not left with clippings to deal with.
Which suburbs do you cover?
All of greater Melbourne, including the northern, western, eastern, south-eastern, inner and bayside regions.
Do you take on commercial contracts?
Yes — we maintain hedges for businesses, schools, strata properties and other commercial sites on a scheduled basis.
What's the best time of year to trim hedges in Melbourne?
Spring (September to November) is the main window, once new growth has hardened off. Light maintenance trims also suit early autumn for fast-growing species.
