Hedge Trimming FAQs

How often should hedges be trimmed?

Most hedges benefit from trimming once or twice a year. Fast-growing types such as leylandii often need two cuts to stop them becoming overgrown. Slower hedges like laurel or beech can usually be managed with one yearly trim. Regular trimming keeps hedges neat, encourages healthy growth, and prevents them from becoming unmanageable.

Do you take all the hedge waste away?

Yes - every hedge trimming job includes full green waste removal. We bag, load, and dispose of clippings at licensed facilities, leaving your garden tidy and ready to enjoy. No piles of branches left behind, everything is cleared as part of the service.

Can you quote for hedge trimming from photos?

Often, yes. If you send clear photos and give us an idea of hedge length and height, we can provide a ballpark price. For larger or more complex hedges, we usually confirm the final quote with a quick visit.

Are you insured for hedge cutting?

Absolutely. We carry full public liability insurance and work with safe methods to protect your property, walls, fences, and overhead lines. You get peace of mind knowing the work is done properly and responsibly.
