About
About our hedge cutting
Hedge Cutting is skilled work that pays to get right. Here is why it is worth bringing in an experienced local team:
We cut hedges straight and to shape, whether it is a routine trim or bringing an overgrown hedge back under control, and we have the equipment to do tall hedges safely at height. We time cuts to keep hedges healthy and to avoid disturbing nesting birds in spring and early summer, and every clipping is cleared away when we finish.

Trims and rescues
From routine cuts to overgrown hedges
A hedge is easy to let get away from you, so we handle both regular upkeep and rescue jobs. On a routine trim we cut back to a clean, even shape and keep the sides slightly tapered so light reaches the base and the hedge stays green and dense all the way down rather than going bare and woody at the bottom. On an overgrown hedge we can take the height and the spread right back and bring it under control, then keep it that way with a cut once or twice a year.
Species and timing
Cut at the right time, cleared away
We work on all the common hedges in local gardens, from fast growing conifer and leylandii that need keeping in check to box, laurel, privet, beech and mixed native hedges. Each has its own habit and its own best time and way to cut, and getting that right keeps the hedge healthy and looking its best. Tall boundary hedges are no problem: we have the access equipment to cut them safely at height, so there is no need for you to be up a wobbly ladder with a hedge trimmer.
Timing matters, and it is not just about the look. We take care through the main bird nesting season in spring and early summer, checking a hedge for active nests before we cut, because nesting birds are protected. Most hedges are best given their main cut in late summer once nesting is over, though we can carry out lighter trims at other times. When we finish we clear away every clipping and leave the garden tidy, and we can set up a regular visit so your hedges never get out of hand again.
