Hedge Trimming & Pruning FAQs

We’ve answered a lot of the common questions relating to Hedge Trimming, but if you have a different question, please contact us.

How often should my hedge be trimmed?

It depends on the type of hedge. Fast-growing varieties like Leyland cypress may need trimming three times a year, while others like yew or laurel might only need annual maintenance.

When is the best time of year to trim hedges?

Most hedges are best trimmed in late summer or early autumn. However, some benefit from spring pruning, especially if they flower. We’ll advise on the ideal schedule for your specific hedge.

Can you reduce the height or width of an overgrown hedge?

Yes, we can carry out more extensive pruning and reshaping where needed. In some cases, this is done over several years to maintain plant health.

Do you remove the waste after trimming?

Yes, all green waste is cleared from the site unless you request otherwise. We can also arrange for responsible disposal or chipping if needed.

Is there a legal limit on hedge height?

Yes – under UK law, a hedge over 2 metres tall can be subject to complaints under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act if it affects a neighbour’s enjoyment of their property. We can advise if you’re unsure.

Do I need to be home during the work?

Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access to the hedge and your instructions, we’re happy to carry out the work while you’re out.
