Hedge & Cedar Trimming in Markham and the GTA

Goats Landscaping trims cedar, privacy and ornamental hedges back to clean, straight lines, from a single front-yard hedge to the long runs around townhouse complexes and condo properties. We shape the hedge so it stays healthy and dense, clear the sidewalk and fence lines, and clean up every clipping before we leave.

Cedar hedge trimmed flat and even by Goats Landscaping

Signs your hedge is overdue

  • It is spilling over the sidewalk, driveway or neighbour's side.
  • The top is wider than the bottom, so the lower branches are going thin and brown.
  • Gates, fences, windows or signs are disappearing behind it.
  • It has not been shaped in a season or more and has lost its lines.

What's included

  • Trimming cedar, yew, boxwood, privet and other hedges
  • Shaping slightly narrower at the top so light reaches the base
  • Cutting back overgrowth from sidewalks, fences, gates and windows
  • Shrub and ornamental pruning around the property
  • Full cleanup: clippings raked, bagged and hauled away

Who we do this for

Townhouse and condo corporations with long hedge rows along sidewalks and courtyards, commercial sites where a sharp hedge line sets the first impression, and homeowners with privacy hedges.

When to book

In Ontario the main trim is best from late spring into early summer, once the new growth has come in, with an optional light trim in mid to late summer. Avoid hard cutting late in the fall: new growth will not harden before frost. Cedars do not regrow from bare brown wood, so a badly overgrown cedar hedge is brought back gradually over a couple of seasons. Active bird nests are protected by law, so we check before cutting in nesting season.

FAQ

Common questions

When should cedar hedges be trimmed in Ontario?

Late spring to early summer, after the new growth appears, is the best time for the main trim. A lighter touch-up can follow in mid to late summer. Avoid heavy trimming in late fall.

Can a badly overgrown hedge be cut back?

Usually yes, but cedars will not grow back from bare brown wood. We reduce an overgrown cedar hedge in stages over a season or two so it stays green, while deciduous hedges can often take a harder cut.

How much does hedge trimming cost?

It depends on the length and height of the hedge, how overgrown it is and how much cleanup there is. We look at it and give you a free, clear quote first.

Do you trim hedges for townhouse complexes and condos?

Yes. Long hedge rows around townhouse complexes and condo properties are regular work for us; the before and after photos on this page are from one of those jobs.
