What is the lifespan of a hedge?


Questions // July 17, 2024


A hedge that stands the test of time, for a dazzling garden!


The lifespan of a well-maintained cedar hedge can reach several decades. In general, a cedar can live between 50 and 100 years, or even longer under ideal conditions. However, the exact lifespan of a cedar hedge depends on factors such as care, growing conditions, climate, diseases, pests, etc.

Generally, with proper care, a cedar hedge can beautify your garden for many decades.

How to maintain your hedge to optimize its lifespan?

To maximize the lifespan of a cedar hedge, it is important to prune it regularly to promote dense and healthy growth. It should be watered regularly, especially during dry periods. If necessary, you can add fertilizer.

Hedges can be susceptible to diseases and pest attacks. Consulting professionals for the maintenance of your hedge helps to detect signs of problems, infestations, and diseases. We will help you address them effectively.

What height should you choose for your hedge?

When choosing the height and width of your hedge, you must consider several factors such as the available space, the type of plants chosen, the desired maintenance, and the purpose of the hedge. Is your hedge intended to mark a boundary, create a privacy screen, or simply green up your yard? For privacy, a height of 1.5 to 2 meters is recommended.
