Regular trimming
Routine trimming helps maintain the outline and density of suitable hedges. The frequency and timing depend on the species, its growth and the finish you want. We agree the height, width and accessible faces before the work.

Hedge reductions and reshaping
An overgrown hedge may need more than a light trim. Some plants respond to cutting into older growth better than others, so a major reduction should be considered carefully. The aim is a realistic outcome that respects the species and your boundary.
Working responsibly
Access on both sides, neighbouring property and any nesting wildlife need consideration before cutting. Active bird nests must not be disturbed. We discuss the proposed work and any practical constraints rather than assuming every hedge can be treated in the same way.

Your questions,
answered.
For advice about your particular tree, please get in touch.
Can an overgrown hedge be made smaller?
That depends on the species, condition and desired reduction. Some hedges do not regrow well from bare old wood. Photographs help start the discussion.
Will you trim the neighbour’s side?
Include all required faces in your enquiry. Work affecting neighbouring land requires suitable access and agreement.
What about nesting birds?
Hedges and shrubs need checking for active nests before work. Work that would disturb an active nest must be postponed or adjusted as appropriate.
