Written by Posted On Friday, 01 September 2017 19:27

Hedge trimming is an up-and-coming art form that people all over the world enjoy, and for the most part people leave it to the professionals to make wonderful pieces of art out of their own hedges, but we’re here to help give you some ideas towards making your own works of art in your back yard!

You don’t need a professional company like tree service Cedar Rapids to do all of the work for you when you have all the tips you could possibly need right here, and of course you might need a few more pointers after this article, but we’re confident that we can put you in the right direction towards making something wonderfully creative that you, your family, your neighbors and all of your friends will thoroughly enjoy!

Classic, Angular

This is something that anyone can figure out, and it’s a great way to get your creative juices flowing, and allow your hedges to grow in really unique shapes. Right angles are extremely important when it comes to this style and you’ll also want to think about creating really crisp lines that look delicate and well kept, and of course it will look fantastic!

Geometric Precision

For those of you who have really large hedges there really are an endless amount of possibilities that you can make in terms of geometric shapes. But if you are really interested in getting creative with your hedges in terms of geometry then you have to consider that precision is the name of the game and can make or break your creation. Make sure you’re keeping your curves well balanced and your angles as sharp as you can, and of course making a nice, smooth surface on each side of your shape.

Mimicking Structural Landscape

 

This is what curb appeal is all about, and as you can imagine when you do something that looks a little bit like the manmade structures surrounding your hedges you’re going to get a very aesthetically pleasing look to your hedges as well, so it goes a long way to match whatever your hedges butt up against.

Spherical Punctuation

 

Making spheres may seem a little bit difficult, but we promise that you’ll get the hang of it right away once you plan it out properly and take your time conducting the effect. There’s so much you can do in terms of spheres, and depending on the circumstances of your lawn you can either go big or small, but either way you’re going to want to make sure it’s perfectly round and even juxtaposed to something that isn’t spherical to really extenuate how round your creation is.

Mounds and Cones

It’s always great to add a little variety to your hedge work, and especially once you start to get good at being creative with your hedges you’ll see how fun it is to make all different kinds of shapes together, including cones and mounds. They may seem like pretty traditional shapes, but they go well with any back yard and are universally liked.

Hedge Borders

Making borders around a walkway or patio is a really beautiful way to utilize your hedges and bushes, and as you can imagine it just adds a little bit more green to the walking areas of your yard. It becomes a welcome mat in a way, and it’s a wonderful way to bring a little bit more detail to a pathway.

Softened Shrubs

This is a really popular style today, and it’s so nice to touch some shrubs that have been softened up properly. The texture is amazing and it makes you really feel like your plants could be pillows!

Potted Boxwoods

This style is a really interesting idea, and it’s a great idea for anyone who is looking to be a little more chic with their hedge art. Of course if you keep them potted then you’ll have the access to take these creations wherever they would look best, or you can also sell them too!

Maze

Everyone loves hedge mazes, and they’re a lot of fun to make too. If you think you’re up for making a hedge maze in your backyard then you have come to the right place because it’s a sophisticated idea and is also so much fun for the whole family. The maze doesn’t have to be big for it to stand out and look great either, and just going for it and maybe getting lost in the process is what matters most anyways!

Spiral Topiary

Making this kind of creation is pretty difficult, but it looks amazing. The spiral effect isn’t as hard to make as it looks, and it’s something that looks very artistic and will attract the attention of anyone who views it. This type of hedge art really adds a lot to any yard and is something that is in very high demand!

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and start making the backyard hedge art of your dreams, and we promise it will be as fulfilling as it seems it would be!
