Overview
Hedge trimming in Massachusetts should be timed to the plant: most deciduous hedges are trimmed in late June after the first growth flush, evergreens get a light spring shape-up and a late-summer touch, and boxwood wants two trims per season. Casey and Sons trims by hand or power depending on what the plant needs, keeps top and sides proportional so light reaches the base, and hauls all clippings off-site.

- Proper taper so the base gets light and doesn't go bare
- Hand trim delicate ornamentals (Japanese maples, hydrangeas, roses)
- Remove dead wood and interior crossing branches
- Haul every clipping off-site
Local context
Landscaping in Hamilton — what makes it different
Hamilton is one of the most distinctive towns on the North Shore — working farms, equestrian properties, and large rural-residential lots along Bay Road and Asbury Street. The Myopia Hunt Club anchors the town's character. Landscape work here runs from standard residential weekly mowing to larger-property seasonal projects. Heavy tree canopy across most of the town makes two-visit fall cleanups the default.

Questions
Frequently asked
When should hedges be trimmed in Massachusetts?
Most privets, yews, and boxwood want a late-June shape-up after the spring growth flush, then a lighter touch in late summer if needed. Flowering shrubs (lilac, rhododendron) are trimmed right after bloom. We time each hedge to the plant, not to a blanket schedule.
Can you rehab an overgrown hedge?
Usually yes, with a two- or three-year plan. A hedge that's been neglected for a decade can't go back to its original form in one cut — you'd kill it. We'll lay out a staged rejuvenation if that's what the plant needs.
Can you handle the larger Hamilton properties?
Yes. Large rural-residential lots with mature canopy are standard Hamilton work. Equipment and time factor into the per-visit rate.
