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.

Local context
Landscaping in Saugus — what makes it different
Saugus runs from Cliftondale near the Malden line up through Saugus Center and into North Saugus by the Lynnfield border. Lot sizes are mostly modest — quarter to third of an acre on average — with established tree canopy across most neighborhoods. The Saugus Iron Works and Rumney Marsh are the notable landmarks; the residential character is consistent. Standard weekly mowing, spring and fall cleanups, and periodic hedge trimming is what most Saugus properties need.

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.
Do you cover all of Saugus?
Yes — Cliftondale, East Saugus, Saugus Center, and North Saugus are all within our extended coverage area.
