Hedge pruning and reducing
What to send first
- Rough length and height of each hedge
- Any access issues, like a neighbour's side or a steep bank
Good fit when
- A hedge is blocking light, a path or a view
- Conifers have grown taller than you want
- Formal hedges or topiary need regular shaping
Hedge trimming and reduction from Gemzas
We look after all kinds of garden hedges, from low edging and formal topiary to long boundary hedges and tall conifers. A routine trim keeps the shape crisp and the growth dense. A reduction takes a hedge that has grown too tall or too wide back to a manageable size, which can let light back onto a lawn or seating area and stop it taking over a path or driveway. Customers have had conifers topped and long hedges brought back under control.
Timing and nesting birds
Most hedges are trimmed once or twice a year, between late spring and early autumn. Heavier reductions are best done outside the main nesting season, which runs roughly from March to August. It is against the law to disturb an active nest, so hedges are checked before any cutting starts.
Height, access and price
The price depends on length and height, how much needs to come off, and whether both sides can be reached. Tall hedges need ladders or platforms, and a boundary hedge may need access from a neighbour's side. Tell us roughly how long and tall the hedge is, and add photos from both sides if you can.
