Hedge Pruning: Keep Your Garden Looking Its Best
A well-trimmed hedge can transform a garden. It adds privacy, creates structure, and tidies up your outdoor space. But if hedges are not maintained, they look scruffy. They might become diseased and lose their form. Regular hedge pruning, though, can help maintain their appearance and growth throughout the year.
Â
Many people cut their own hedges, but proper hedge pruning requires expertise and the appropriate equipment. For this reason, many homeowners seek the help of experts. That's where we come in!

Expert hedge trimming maintains the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space. Thanks to proper equipment and techniques, our arborists shape hedges without damaging them. After we have trimmed your hedges they will grow uniformly and remain healthy. Hedge trimming can be a noisy job, but we try to disrupt you and your neighbours as little as possible. Additionally, we tidy up after ourselves and take away the hedge trimmings.

Regular hedge maintenance
Routine hedge maintenance benefits your plants' health and prevents overgrowth. Trimming away dead or damaged branches encourages fresh, new growth. It also keeps the hedges from getting too thick, which lets sunshine and air reach every area of the plant.
​
Because they are easy to shape and control, well-maintained hedges won't overrun your area or grow out of control. Beyond being manageable, a well-kept hedge also increases the value of your home.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU PRUNE HEDGES?
How often you should prune hedges depends on the type of hedge you have. Fast-growing ones, like privet or leylandii, need hedge pruning every six to eight weeks to stay neat. Slower-growing varieties, such as yew or beech, only need pruning once or twice a year.
​
Meanwhile, formal hedges, like boxwood, require frequent attention to maintain crisp, clean lines. On the other hand, natural hedges, such as hawthorn or laurel, don't need as much shaping. However, regular hedge maintenance is still important to keep them healthy and thriving.
​
The key to good hedge care is trimming little and often—not making drastic cuts all at once. Timing also matters! Pruning at the right time of year encourages healthy growth and prevents unnecessary stress on the plants. A consistent trimming routine keeps your hedges looking beautiful and helps them grow stronger over time.
