— The Challenge

Why this matters

A good hedge is a living wall — dense, uniform, and healthy. But achieving that requires more than running a trimmer along the top. It requires cutting at the right time, maintaining the correct taper (wider at the bottom), and knowing how much to take off each species without creating bare patches that may never recover.

— Our Process

How we do it

01

Assessment & Preparation

We assess the hedge species, current condition, and desired shape. The ground beneath is cleared to allow for easy cleanup.

02

Shaping & Trimming

Using petrol and electric hedge trimmers, we cut to the desired height and width. Hedges are tapered wider at the base so lower leaves receive sunlight.

03

Detail Work

Corners, edges, and tops are finished by hand for crisp, clean lines. Formal shapes and topiary are sculpted with hand shears.

04

Cleanup

All clippings are raked, collected, and removed from site or composted. Your hedge is left looking immaculate and your garden spotless.

— FAQs

Common questions

How often should hedges be trimmed?
Fast-growing hedges (like privet or leylandii) need 2–3 trims per year. Formal hedges (like buxus) may need 3–4. Most boundary hedges do well with a major cut in spring and a maintenance trim in autumn.
Can you shape hedges into specific forms?
Yes. We do formal topiary, rounded shapes, stepped hedges, and architectural forms. Show us what you want and we'll make it happen.
Will trimming damage my hedge?
No, as long as it's done correctly. We never cut back to bare wood on species that won't recover (like conifers), and we time our cuts to the growth cycle of each species.
