We cut hedges of all sizes, from a front garden privet to long boundary hedges on larger properties and sites. Every job includes clearing up and taking the cuttings away, so you are not left with a pile of green waste.
What we do
- Regular trimming to keep hedges neat and in shape
- Cutting back overgrown hedges that are blocking paths, light or views
- Reducing height and width on hedges that have grown too big
- Clearing ivy, brambles and weeds from the base of hedges
- Removing all cuttings and green waste
When to cut a hedge
Most garden hedges look best with a trim once or twice a year. Fast-growing hedges, such as privet and leylandii, may need cutting more often to keep them under control. Bigger reductions are best done outside the main bird nesting season.
It is an offence to damage or destroy an active bird's nest. During the main nesting season, roughly March to August, we check hedges carefully before cutting and leave any active nests alone, coming back once the birds have gone if needed.
One-off or regular
We can do a single cut, or add hedge cutting to regular garden maintenance visits so it never gets out of hand. Landlords and agents often book hedge cutting with a full garden tidy between tenancies.
Hedges and neighbours
If a neighbour's hedge overhangs your side, you can usually cut it back to the boundary, but you should not cut beyond it or damage the hedge. If you are not sure where the boundary is, it is worth talking to your neighbour first. We are happy to cut your side and take the cuttings away.
