Pickering 19-Foot Cedar Hedge Trimming

Professional trimming and shaping of a mature 19-foot cedar privacy hedge in Rougemount, restoring clean vertical lines while maintaining the height, density, and privacy of the established hedge.

Rosebank, Pickering

Project Overview

KCG Outdoor Services completed a detailed trim of this approximately 19-foot mature cedar hedge in the Rougemount neighbourhood of Pickering. Years of growth had extended the hedge outward, narrowing the usable space beside the property and creating an uneven face. The goal was to bring the hedge back into shape without sacrificing the impressive height and privacy it provides. Working carefully at height, the hedge face was progressively trimmed and refined to create a straighter, more uniform profile while respecting the existing green growth. Tarps were used to protect the lawn and simplify debris collection throughout the process. The finished hedge maintains its dense privacy screen while providing noticeably more clearance and a crisp, professionally maintained appearance.
