    It is actually good to go in and do a deeper pruning on boxwood every once in a while so that the outer layer of foliage doesn't get too dense. This will allow better airflow and sunlight into the middle of the plant, which prevents disease and die out. If the plant is in ideal growing conditions it will not stress it.

      @@alienveritec I have around 50 boxwoods and 40 spireas/potentillas areound my home which is a one floor ranch style house! I pruned them every year then every other year then I finally got a guy to do it for me! If you can learn to use an electric hedge trimmer, I would recommend using that than using up your shoulder joints! 🫤

    I trim boxwood just fine with electric shears. Just keep the blades sharp and they won't tug and tear. The cloth is extremely time consuming. One or 2 or 3 bushes, ok. But if you have an entire yard it is not worth it. I try to have people do their general trimming in spring before they put mulch. That way you can avoid all that extra work pulling a tarp around. I do realize some shrubs need to be trimmed at certain times. But generally if you first trim then mulch you can simply rake the debris and blow out the beds, install the layer of mulch, it will cover up all the rest of the smaller debris. I do realize you might trim shrubs 2 or 3 times a year but overall it will look better.

      Lol I understand where your coming from but basically trimming shrubs is a good thing so more light can reach the plant and it’s not overcrowded with foliage thus it prevents it from dying quicker

    When having box bushes that haven't been trimmed in years its ok to cut to the brown. Do it before the peak of spring though for best growth. Doing this will train your bushes into growing into the shape and height you want.

    Sooo are we putting the bedsheet under each and every bush on the front side of the house? If one owns a leafblower of any sort, you can trim without the bedsheet(or tarp) then blow the trimmings into the yard. Once in the yard, rake them up. Even if you don’t have a blower, you can easily rake the fresh trimmings up over the mulch, then when finished mix up the mulch to cover any bare spots you might have made
