Hedges that have got too big

A hedge left a few seasons gets tall, wide and thin at the bottom. The team brings it back in height and width, then cuts the top to a level line and the sides straight, so it looks like a hedge again.

Long boundary hedges, tall shelter hedges round a section and hedges crowding a drive or a path are all part of the work. Where a hedge sits on the boundary, say whether the neighbour’s side is part of the job.

Cleared up as we go

Clippings get everywhere: on the lawn, in the beds, down the drive. They’re cleared off as the work goes along, and the section is left tidy at the end. Clean-up is one of the things customers mention most in their reviews.

If a hedge is past saving or you’d rather have it gone, it can come out completely, and the stumps can be ground out after.

What sets the price

The length and height of the hedge
One side or both
How much has to come off
The way in to both faces and the top

Oliver comes out, meets you and quotes the job, so the price is set before any work starts.

Hedge trimming questions

Something else? Call 0800 000 105 or send the tree through.

Can you cut back a really overgrown hedge?

Yes. An overgrown hedge is brought back in height and width first, then the top and sides are cut to a clean line.

Do you trim the neighbour’s side too?

Yes, when you’ve agreed it with them and the team can get to it. Say so when you send the hedge through.

Can you take a hedge out altogether?

Yes. A hedge can be removed completely and its stumps ground out, so the line can go back to lawn or garden.
