Hedges are great for their greenery, the privacy that they provide and can be easier on the eye than old fences and cracked brick walls; regularly maintaining them is very important to ensure they keep their health and shape.
How “regularly” the hedges need attention is dependant on the species; for example, privet hedge trimming should be carried out during what is known as the “growing season” (May-September), whereas trimming conifer hedges is usually required more often.
Hedge removals, on the other hand, are a task that we are often requested to do all year round; potentially the hedges are being removed to create more space in the garden, planting something else, making way for a driveway or fence to be installed, or have unfortunately died and just need to go. Following a hedge removal, Top Class Tree Services can also carry out the stump grinding if required, clearing the area of any potential trip hazards and preparing the area for any of the above mentioned options.
Of course with any hedge cutting works, we will always be conscious of nesting season; we have carried out hedge pruning jobs during nesting season where there is an important need for it but ALWAYS being considerate of any wildlife that may be present.
As with trees, hedges come in all different shapes and sizes and our Buckinghamshire hedge trimming team have all of the equipment required to reduce/trim/tidy them.
We understand that the privacy of our clients is important, so for that reason, our saying with trimming hedges is: “take off as much as possible without taking off too much, maintain privacy and keep a nice shape”.
