Work at height
Cut back, kept in shape.
A regular trim keeps a hedge dense, tidy and in proportion. We cut the sides and top back to a clean line, shaped so light reaches the bottom of the hedge and it stays thick all the way down.
Tall and overgrown hedges need more than a trim. Where a hedge has got out of hand, we can reduce its height and width, working from the platform where it is too tall to reach safely from the ground.
Hedges are prime nesting spots, so Will always checks for nests before cutting. Trees growing within or behind a hedge can be dealt with at the same time. See tree pruning and shaping or crown lifting.

Hedge cutting questions.
When is the best time to cut a hedge?
Most garden hedges are trimmed once or twice a year, often in late summer and again in autumn or winter. Bigger cutbacks are best done outside nesting season. Will can suggest the right timing for your hedge.
Can you cut a hedge during nesting season?
Hedges are favourite nesting spots, and active nests are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Nesting season runs roughly from March to August, so Will checks first and leaves any nests undisturbed.
Can you reduce a really overgrown hedge?
Usually, yes. A hard cut back can bring an overgrown hedge back down to size. Some types recover better than others, so Will looks at the hedge first and tells you what to expect.
Do you cut tall hedges?
Yes. Where a hedge is too tall to cut safely from the ground or a ladder, we work from the aerial platform.
