Everything you need for Hedge Maintenance
Hedges are created by growing a series of plants closely together and trimming them regularly to stimulate growth and maintain a particular shape. They are often used as a living fence or boundary. We can help tidy and maintain your existing hedge or provide advice on how to establish a new one.
AMTS provide bespoke professional hedge-cutting services for domestic projects to keep your hedges always looking their best. We offer one-off services or can help you to improve the long-term health and appearance of your hedge by selective cutting and regular maintenance.
Our hedgecutting services include;
Reduction in height
Trimming of side growth
Shaping as required
Roadside / council requested cutbacks
Providing Expert Hedge Care
New hedges require formative pruning for the first couple of years after planting. Formative pruning is usually carried out in winter or early spring. We can schedule a regular trimming schedule for your hedge or welcome one-off jobs. Where necessary, we will do a full hedge assessment followed by more fundamental work.
If hedges are not maintained or are trimmed frequently, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep the hedge dense, even and attractive. It can also lead to gaps forming at the base over many years. Timing of pruning should take into account the potential for nesting birds and be delayed until after the nesting season - which usually runs from March to August - if any signs indicate activity our team will advise you.
Ideally, hedges should be trimmed at least annually or bi-annually for a formal hedge; often a mature hedge will be trimmed back to the previous cuts. This helps to maintain a healthy hedge with an even, dense appearance. If you have a hedge that has become overgrown and requires a reduction, we can reduce and reinstate it to a more manageable size.
