Maintaining Your Hedges
Maintaining your garden’s hedges is crucial for both aesthetics and plant health. Our expert team provides precise hedge trimming in Newbury to enhance light penetration, encourage vibrant new growth, and thicken sparse areas, offering tailored advice for optimal hedge maintenance in Newbury. With our quality hedge trimmers and efficient methods, we ensure a superior cut every time, giving your hedges a smarter look.
For overgrown or unwanted hedges, our hedge removal service ensures a safe and efficient solution. We utilise specialist equipment and rigorously follow safety procedures, always conducting thorough checks for nesting wildlife before any work begins, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act and local council guidance on active nests. Generally, we avoid disturbing hedges during the main nesting season and will always advise you on the best time to carry out hedge cutting services.
We understand that sometimes you only need trimming, while other times you might require extensive tree felling or tree reduction to manage the overall size of your greenery. Whether you have formal boxwood topiary, wildlife-friendly mixed shrubs or tall conifer hedging, our hedge trimming services are tailored to your garden.

When Is the Best Time for Hedge Trimming and Pruning?
As a rule of thumb, the ideal time to trim many formal hedges is late summer, around August or early September, once the main flush of growth has slowed. For some species, light shaping in early March can also work well, avoiding periods of hard frost and ensuring fresh growth is not damaged as it emerges in early spring.
Our experienced team will advise you on the best time for hedge trimming in Berkshire based on hedge species, location and how exposed your garden is to frost and cold winds. For most evergreen hedges, we avoid cutting during hard frost or very hot, dry weather, as this can stress the plants. Autumn can be a good time for a final tidy-up trim, but we will always consider wildlife and any active nests before we start work.
If you are unsure when to book hedge trimming Newbury appointments for your specific shrubs or topiary, our team will be happy to recommend a schedule that suits both your garden and your diary.

They turned up as agreed and did another great job. Value for money as far as we are concerned. I’ll be booking them again next year.Posted on Trish Touyet Thank you Ben for the excellent work you carried out on our large maple tree.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hedge Cutting FAQs
Find answers to common questions about hedge cutting, trimming, maintenance, and more. If your question isn’t here, please contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.
How much does hedge trimming cost?
Our hedge trimming prices vary depending on factors such as the height, length, age, and number of hedges you have. We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote and talk you through the costs so you know exactly what to expect before you decide to go ahead.
When is the best time of year to cut hedges?
Most hedges can be cut year-round, but we avoid disturbing active nesting birds to remain safe and legally compliant. We always check for any nests before carrying out any work. The best time of year generally is late autumn to early spring (October–March) for major reshaping, or a light trim after nesting season ends for fast-growers.
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Most hedges benefit from trimming 1–3 times per year, depending on the species and growth rate. Fast-growers (like Leylandii or Laurel): 2–3 times a year. Slower species (like Yew or Box): Once or twice a year is enough. We can advise the best schedule for your specific hedges.
Do you remove all hedge waste?
Yes, we remove all hedge clippings and leave your site clean and tidy, unless you’d prefer us to leave them.
