My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Heavy Yews Pruning

14 years ago

Hello Everyone,

The front of my home has a large hedge of Yews that have been neglected and are now overgrown and ugly. Before I remove them, I want to give them a shot a rejuvenation. I'm planning on taking them from about 5FT to about 2FT. My question, do I need to wait until February/March to do this? or can I do this in the late fall? Most of what I read recommend the early Spring.

I would prefer the fall as I have a lot of stuff to chip up and want to add the Yews branches.

Thanks in advance !
