How to Maintain Your Hedges
How to maintain biodiverse hedges -Video by STIHL
Want a thriving, functional hedge? Consistent care is key: regular and correct pruning – don’t forget to trim the roots – and proper watering will keep your hedge in top shape. The STIHL ASA and GTA are the perfect tools to support you.
Given varying soil conditions, most hedges also benefit from regular fertilization to encourage robust, beautiful growth.
Aim to prune your hedge about twice a year, though some varieties may only require one summer trim. And remember: avoid heavy pruning during nesting season to protect local wildlife and support biodiversity.
Follow these tips and enjoy a healthy, vibrant hedge for years to come!
