Gardening Resources
Next, you'll need to find the right location for your hedges. Be sure that the space you intend to plant in allows for enough room to accommodate the advised width and height your hedge will grow to.
From there, you will need to dig a trench roughly 12 inches deep and 20 inches wide, though a more specific size may be included with your hedge according to its root ball. Plant the hedge and gently cover the roots with soil. Be careful not to pat the soil down so tightly that the roots cannot breathe.
Lastly, water your hedge well after planting. Surround the base of the plant with one or two inches of mulch to protect the roots and retain water. Fertilize hedges with a slow-release fertilizer to help them take off.
Hedges can be trimmed with electric or hand-held pruners. The tool you use should be sharp to avoid inflicting unnecessary stress on the plant. Eyeball the size and shape you want your hedge to be, and take your time in trimming off the tips. To help sunlight reach the base of your plant, cut the top portion a little shorter than the bottom.
For diseased plants, cut the affected area away as soon as you spot it.
As with trimming, use a sharp tool to avoid stressing the plant. Snip away any dead, loose, or infected plant material, careful not to injure the healthy parts of the plant. Dead plant material can be used for composting.
For decades growers have boasted over Michigan soil, and for good reason. The rare, nutrient rich sandy loam just inland from Lake Michigan, produces some of the best performing trees and shrubs you can find.
We have plant sizes to fit every landscape need and every budget. Our largest sizes arrive with years of growth already behind them—perfect for creating instant privacy, beauty or property boundaries.
When planning a proper hedge, consider the space you want to fill and the spread of your chosen shrub variety. Usually, multiple plants are required. We created our 3-, 5- and 10-plant bundles with this in mind—the more you buy, the more you save.
No need to borrow a truck or put down a tarp in the back of your SUV. No spilled dirt when the pots in the back inevitably tip over on the ride home. Our healthy shrubs ship right to your door at the perfect time for planting in your area.
