Richmond's village core has old, tall cedar that has usually outgrown whatever it was planted to screen.
Whatever shape your hedge is in, the first step is the same: a free on-site look so we can tell you honestly whether it needs a corrective trim, a restoration over two seasons, or replacing. We will say so either way.
Hedge and tree rules in Richmond
Trimming a hedge never needs a City permit, and neither does pruning a private tree. A permit only comes into it when a hedge removal takes out a protected tree (source).
Most of Richmond is in the City’s rural area, where the by-law protects City-owned trees, such as those in the road allowance, but not private trees on your own land. Hedges along the road can sit close to City trees, so we check the property line before any removal.
Your exact property’s rules are on geoOttawa under Forestry.
Trees around Richmond hedges
The City of Ottawa’s tree inventory lists 1,863 City-owned trees within 1.5 km of the centre of Richmond (source), most of them white spruce, sugar maple and blue (Colorado) spruce. 588 are already 30 cm or more across.
When a hedge runs under or beside one of those City trees, we trim the hedge around it rather than into it: a City-owned tree cannot be injured without a City permit.
Richmond background
Before the 2001 amalgamation, Richmond was part of Goulbourn Township (source).

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my Hedge be trimmed?+
Cedar hedges should be trimmed professionally once a year around the same time. This promotes healthy growth and keeps the hedge looking full and rich in colour.
Is Hedge King insured?+
Yes Hedge King is fully insured. We have a claim free history and a copy of Hedge King's insurance is available for review at anytime.
When should I get my hedge trimmed?+
It is important to get you hedge trimmed when there is no frost or a risk of frost. Typically anytime between late April and late October is a safe time.
What happens to the hedge trimmings?+
After a thorough clean up we haul the hedge trimmings away. If our trailer fills up on a big job, we stack the rest neatly at the end of the driveway and our friends at Recycled Cedars pick them up.
How do I know if my cedar hedge needs to be removed or can still be restored?+
If your hedge is overgrown, severely damaged, or has large bare sections that won’t regenerate, removal may be the best option. Our free consultation will assess whether trimming and maintenance can restore its health or if replacement is necessary.
What happens after my hedge is removed?+
Once the hedge is removed, we take care of stump removal and can prepare the area for new plantings, gardens, or sod installation. We also offer high-quality topsoil to help level the ground and ensure a smooth transition for your next landscaping project.
