<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAftercare and regular hedge maintenance are essential for thinned hedges’ long-term health and beauty. Ensure adequate watering, especially during dry periods, to support their regrowth. Fertilise the hedges with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring or late autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monitor for pests and diseases and take prompt action to prevent further damage. Regularly prune and shape the hedges to maintain their desired form and promote denser growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the hedges to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Conduct regular inspections and promptly address any issues for your hedges’ overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With proper watering, fertilisation, pest and disease control, pruning, and mulching, you’ll be able to enjoy beautiful hedges that enhance the aesthetics of your garden for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>How Often Should Hedges Be Thinned?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe frequency of hedge thinning depends on the specific hedge type and its growth rate. As a general guideline, thin hedges once or twice a year. However, fast-growing hedges may require more frequent thinning for controlled growth, while slower-growing hedges may need thinning every two to three years. Regular monitoring of the hedge’s density and appearance will help determine the appropriate timing for thinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
