Hedge work.

Hedge cutting and trimming: annual trims, hard reductions and full reshaping, always checked for nesting birds before we start, whatever the time of year.

From annual trims to leylandii rescues.

From a quick annual trim to the rescue of a leylandii that's been left too long, we handle the full range of hedge work. We check for nesting birds before every job without exception. If there are birds in it, the work waits. We'll always tell you honestly if that's the case.

For most maintained hedges we aim for a late-summer cut once the season's growth is done and the birds have finished. Larger reductions we typically do in autumn when the leaves are off and it's easier to see what you're taking back to. All arisings are taken away as standard.

Questions we get asked

When is the best time to cut a hedge?
For most maintained hedges we aim for a late-summer cut once the season's growth is done and nesting birds have finished. Larger reductions are best in autumn when the leaves are off and it's easier to see what you're cutting back to. We check for nesting birds before every job, whatever the time of year.
Can you reduce an overgrown leylandii?
Yes, leylandii rescues are one of the jobs we do most. We can take the height and width back hard and reshape it, though leylandii won't regrow from old brown wood, so we'll advise honestly on how far it can sensibly come down before we start.
How much does hedge cutting cost?
It depends on the height and length of the hedge, how overgrown it is and how easy it is to reach: a routine annual trim is very different to a hard height-and-width reduction on a neglected leylandii. We give a free site visit and a written, fixed quote with all the clippings cleared, so you know the price before we start.
Do you take the hedge clippings away?
Yes, clearing all the arisings is included as standard, and we leave the site tidier than we found it. If you'd rather keep some of the material for a compost heap or log pile, just say so at the visit.
