Hedgerow Trimming
Regular hedgerow trimming is essential to maintain neat, attractive, and healthy hedges. Over time, hedges may become overgrown, uneven, or begin to encroach on pathways, driveways, and neighbouring properties. Fortunately, our professional trimming service keeps your hedges tidy, manageable, and in great condition throughout the year.
We work with a wide variety of hedge types, including:
Formal hedging such as box, yew, and beech
Fast-growing species like leylandii and privet
Decorative or mixed native hedgerows
Using professional-grade equipment, we precisely shape your hedges by removing excess growth while protecting the plant’s health. Regular trimming encourages denser growth, improves airflow, and helps prevent diseases and pest infestations. Additionally, we remove and dispose of all trimmings, leaving your garden clean and tidy.
Hedge Removal
Sometimes, removing a hedge becomes necessary due to disease, storm damage, old age, or changes in your garden design. Our hedge removal service is safe, efficient, and hassle-free. First, we assess the hedge, identifying any underground roots or obstacles. Then, we remove the entire structure, including the root system if needed.
We handle projects of all sizes, from small domestic hedges to large, mature hedgerows. Throughout the process, we respect surrounding plants, structures, and wildlife. Once removal is complete, we can assist with ground preparation for replanting, turfing, or hard landscaping, ensuring your outdoor space is ready for its next chapter.
Hedgerow Planting
Adding new hedgerows to your garden enhances privacy, beautifies your outdoor space, and supports local biodiversity. Whether you want a formal boundary hedge or a natural native wildlife corridor, our hedgerow planting service helps you achieve your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a hedge be trimmed?
Hedges should generally be trimmed twice a year, but this can vary depending on the type of hedge and its growth rate. Fast-growing species may require more frequent trimming to maintain their shape and health.
When is the best time to trim a hedge?
The ideal time for hedge trimming is spring or early summer after the main growth period. However, some hedges may also benefit from a light trim in late winter. Always avoid trimming during bird nesting season to protect wildlife.
Are there any laws regarding hedge trimming?
Yes, there are several regulations to be aware of. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects nesting birds, making it illegal to trim hedges during nesting season. Additionally, the High Hedges Act 2003 provides guidelines for hedge height to prevent disputes with neighbours.
