Hedge trimming

An untrimmed hedge becomes sparse and patchy — repairing such a hedge is very difficult and time-consuming. Often the hedge can't be saved and must either be cut back hard or replaced entirely with new plants.

Our experienced hedge trimmers have a keen eye and have worked on hedges of all heights and shapes, on flat ground and slopes alike. They can also advise on restoring neglected hedges without over-damaging the plants.

Deciduous hedges are typically trimmed 2–3 times during summer, removing 1/2 to 1/3 of new growth each time. Evergreen hedges are usually trimmed once a year in autumn — ideally in August–September.
