Question 1

How often do hedges need trimming?

Accepted Answer

Most hedges look their best with a trim two to four times a year, depending on the species and how fast they grow. Faster-growing hedges may want a tidy each season, while slower ones can go longer. We'll suggest a schedule based on the hedges you actually have.

Question 2

Can you reshape a hedge that's become overgrown or woody?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Overgrown hedges can usually be brought back to a clean shape, though with very woody hedges it sometimes takes a couple of staged trims to encourage fresh, dense growth. We'll have a look at the on-site quote and tell you honestly what's achievable.

Question 3

How is hedging and edging priced?

Accepted Answer

Like our other services, hedging and edging can't be quoted accurately online — it depends on the number of hedges, their height and length, how overgrown they are and how much access we have. We'll give you a free on-site quote so the price matches the work.

Question 4

Do you clean up and remove the clippings?

Accepted Answer

Always. We clear and remove all hedge trimmings and edging waste as part of the job, so you're left with a tidy result and nothing to dispose of yourself.

Question 5

Can you edge garden beds as well as paths?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We define edges between lawn and garden beds, along paths and driveways, and around trees — anywhere a clean line makes the garden look more finished.

Question 6

Will trimming my hedge regularly keep it healthier?

Accepted Answer

Generally, yes. Regular trimming encourages hedges to grow dense and even rather than tall, thin and woody, and it lets light into the lower foliage. Keeping to a sensible schedule is one of the simplest ways to keep a hedge looking good for years.

Question 7

Do you trim hedges at height?

Accepted Answer

We handle most residential hedges and shaping work. If a hedge or tree is particularly tall or near power lines, we'll let you know at the quote and recommend the safest approach.
