Hedge Cutting and Trimming in Larkfield

Hedge cutting and trimming in Larkfield for garden hedges of every size, from low box to tall conifer screens. We cut to shape, check for nesting birds first and clear all the trimmings away. Free quotes.

Timing and nesting birds

Nesting birds are protected by law from around March to August. We check a hedge properly before any blade goes near it, and if there is an active nest we leave that section and come back. Late summer into autumn is the safest window for a full cut.

Shaping so the base stays green

A hedge cut straight up and down goes bare at the bottom, because the top shades the base. Cutting it slightly wider at the bottom than the top lets light reach the whole face. That is what keeps a hedge dense from the ground up.

Bringing back a hedge that has got away

A hedge left for years can usually be brought back, but not in one go. Cutting hard into old conifer wood leaves brown patches that never green up. Most hedges are best reduced over two or three seasons, and we will explain what yours can take.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should hedges be cut in Larkfield?

Late summer and early autumn suit most garden hedges, once nesting season has finished. Fast growing hedges such as leylandii often want a second trim in early summer to keep them in check. Formal hedges like box and yew are best cut twice a year.

How high a hedge can you cut?

We cut hedges well above normal ladder height using the right access equipment. Tall conifer screens between gardens are a regular job for us. If a hedge needs taking down a long way rather than trimming, we will tell you what is realistic in one season.

Do you clear the trimmings?

Yes. Hedge cuttings make a lot of mess, far more than people expect, and clearing them is part of the price. We sheet the ground first where we can, then rake through the borders and take the lot away with us when we leave.
