When is the best time to cut hedges in the UK?
Most hedges should be trimmed in late spring or summer, but it depends on the species. For example, yew and laurel can be cut twice a year, while flowering hedges should be pruned after they bloom.
How often should my hedges be trimmed?
Fast-growing hedges like leylandii may need trimming 3–4 times a year, while slower-growing varieties like yew or box may only need 1–2 trims annually.
Do you remove the hedge trimmings?
Yes – we clear away all cuttings as part of our hedge cutting service, leaving your garden tidy and ready to enjoy.
Our hedge cutting service keeps your property looking sharp and well-kept. Precise trimming improves kerb appeal and ensures boundaries stay defined.
