What we trim

Shrubs and hedges that can be reached from the ground, such as boxwood, holly, yew, azalea, privet and barberry. We keep them clear of windows, the porch rail, steps and walks.

Timing

Evergreen shrubs are usually shaped in late spring and again in midsummer. Azaleas and other spring bloomers are trimmed right after they flower so next year's buds stay on.

Clean finish

Clippings fall on a tarp where we can, and the rest are raked out of the beds and off the lawn before we leave.

Can you keep boxwoods in a formal shape?
