Family-run hedge specialists, keeping hedges neat and healthy across North Hertfordshire and Central Bedfordshire for 37 years. We clear away every clipping and leave your garden tidy.
Just mention it when you request your free quote. Available on qualifying work.
A hedge has a habit of creeping out of control before you notice. What was a tidy boundary last summer is suddenly leaning over the path, blocking light, and edging towards next door. We bring it back to a clean, even shape and leave your garden looking cared for.
We trim and shape hedges of all kinds, from low garden borders to tall boundary screens. That covers regular upkeep, one-off tidies, formal shaping, and bringing an overgrown hedge back under control. You get a neat finish that suits your garden and a hedge that stays healthy.
Every clipping is cleared away as standard, and 99% of the green waste we collect is recycled. If a hedge has grown too far gone to save, or a large conifer needs its height brought down rather than a simple cut, we can handle that too with our tree removal service or by reducing the crown.
Before
After
Before we cut your hedge, we explain the best timing, check for nesting birds where needed, and give you a clear written price for the work.
We keep things simple: clear advice on timing, a proper check before cutting, and a fixed quote before any work starts.
Most hedges are best cut between late summer and late winter. This matters for more than the look of the hedge. It is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to disturb a nesting bird, and the RSPB advises avoiding hedge work between 1 March and 31 August, when birds are nesting.
We always check a hedge for active nests before any work in the nesting season. Where birds are present, we leave the hedge alone until they have finished. Your hedge still gets done, just at a time that is safe and within the law.
Different hedges need cutting at different times and at different rates. Fast growers such as leylandii and privet usually need cutting more than once a year to stay sharp, while slower hedges like beech and box need less. When you book, we will tell you what your particular hedge needs and when.
Every hedge is different, so we quote each job on what it actually involves. The main things that affect the price are the height and length of the hedge, how overgrown it has become, how easy it is to reach, and how much waste there is to clear.
How often a hedge is maintained makes a difference too. A hedge kept on a regular trim is quicker and tidier to look after, so it usually works out better value than leaving it for years and facing one heavy cut. We will always give you a clear, written quote before any work starts, so the price you see is the full price, with nothing added at the end.
