FAQs

  • Most hedges benefit from trimming once or twice a year to maintain a healthy shape and encourage dense growth. Fast-growing species such as Leylandii may require more frequent cutting, while slower-growing hedges like yew often only need annual maintenance.

  • The ideal time depends on the type of hedge. Many evergreen hedges are best trimmed during late spring and again in late summer. Deciduous hedges are often cut in late summer once the main period of growth has finished. We can advise on the best time for your particular hedge.

  • Yes. We have professional equipment suitable for safely cutting tall hedges, including mature Leylandii and other large boundary hedges.

  • We work with a wide range of hedge species including Leylandii, Laurel, Beech, Yew, Privet, Box, Hornbeam and mixed native hedges.

  • Yes. We can remove all hedge clippings and green waste from site, leaving your garden clean and tidy once the work is complete.

  • Absolutely. Whether you need a single tidy-up before selling your property or regular maintenance throughout the year, we're happy to help.

  • Yes. Many of our customers choose scheduled hedge maintenance to keep their gardens looking neat throughout the year. We can arrange annual, twice-yearly or seasonal visits.

  • The cost depends on the size, height and condition of the hedge, as well as access to the area and whether waste removal is required. We provide free, no-obligation quotations with transparent pricing.

  • Most domestic hedge trimming jobs can be completed within a few hours, although larger or heavily overgrown hedges may take a full day or more. We'll provide an estimated timescale when we prepare your quotation.

  • The Wildlife and Countryside Act protects active wild bird nests. Before carrying out any work, we carefully inspect hedges for nesting birds. If an active nest is present, work may need to be postponed until the young birds have fledged.

  • Yes. We work with landlords, managing agents, schools, parish councils, housing developments, businesses and commercial premises throughout Sussex.

  • Yes. We carry out hedge reductions for hedges that have become too tall or too wide. We carefully reduce the hedge while maintaining its health and appearance wherever possible.

  • If the hedge grows onto your property, you are generally entitled to trim the sections that overhang your boundary, provided you do not enter your neighbour's land without permission. Any cuttings technically belong to the hedge owner and should be offered back before being disposed of. If the hedge sits on the boundary or there is any uncertainty, it's always best to discuss the work with your neighbour beforehand.

  • If the hedge is entirely on your property, you usually do not need permission to cut it. If it forms a shared boundary or belongs to a neighbour, you should ensure you have the owner's permission before carrying out any work that extends beyond your side of the boundary.

  • Hedge trimming is routine maintenance that removes new growth to keep a hedge neat and well-shaped. Hedge reduction is a more substantial process that lowers the overall height or width of a hedge that has become too large. Reduction requires careful planning to maintain the hedge's long-term health and appearance.

  • Most Laurel hedges benefit from trimming once or twice a year, depending on how quickly they grow and the appearance you want to maintain. Regular pruning encourages dense, healthy growth and prevents the hedge from becoming too large or difficult to manage.

  • Regular hedge maintenance keeps your garden looking its best, encourages healthy growth, improves privacy, prevents hedges from becoming unmanageable and can reduce the cost of future maintenance by avoiding the need for major reductions.
