Why Professional Hedge Trimming Matters
Hedges are more than just boundaries; they’re integral to the character and privacy of your outdoor space. Proper hedge trimming enhances their health, promotes lush growth, and ensures a visually appealing appearance. However, improper trimming techniques can weaken hedges, making them susceptible to disease and poor growth patterns. That’s why it’s essential to trust professionals with the expertise to maintain your hedges with precision and care.

Types of Hedges Popular on Vancouver Island
The unique climate of Vancouver Island supports a variety of hedge types suited to the region’s coastal and inland conditions. Here are some of the most common hedges:
Cedar Hedges - A staple for privacy and windbreaks, cedar hedges thrive in the damp, mild climate of the island.
Laurel Hedges - Known for their dense growth and glossy green leaves, ideal for creating lush, formal screens.
Boxwood Hedges - Perfect for ornamental gardens and low borders, offering neat, easily shaped foliage.
Yew Hedges - A hardy evergreen choice that adapts well to Vancouver Island’s varied conditions, suitable for formal or informal settings.
Hydrangea Hedges - Flowering hedges that add seasonal color and thrive in shaded or partially sunny areas.
Arborvitae (Thuja) - Popular for their vertical growth and natural privacy screening, they perform well in local soils.
Each hedge type requires specific care to thrive in the diverse microclimates of the Comox Valley, from the coastal breezes of Union Bay to the drier conditions of Merville and Royston Ridge. Vision Arboriculture’s local expertise ensures that hedges are maintained to adapt to these unique environmental factors, enhancing their health, beauty, and longevity.
