Plant your cedar hedge like a pro
6 simple steps for a dense, uniform, and lush hedge from the first season.
The 6 installation steps
Follow this guide to ensure rapid and sustainable growth.
Digging the trench
Prepare the ground by digging a continuous trench along the planting line. Ensure the bottom is flat and even for regular plant positioning.
Add the bottom mixture
Lay a layer of enriched topsoil with rooting fertilizer at the bottom of the trench. This mixture promotes rapid root establishment during the critical first weeks.
Positioning the cedars
Place each cedar in the trench, carefully measuring the distance between the trunks. Uniform spacing ensures a dense and aesthetic hedge at maturity.
Adjusting the height
Ensure the top of the root ball is slightly above ground level. Too deep, the roots suffocate; too high, they dry out. The right level makes all the difference.
First watering
Generous watering immediately after planting is crucial. Maintain abundant watering throughout the first week to eliminate air pockets and nourish the roots.
Seasonal fertilization
Feed your cedars with specialized conifer fertilizer. Two applications between May 15 and September 15 to stimulate growth.
