Hedge Cutting
Professional hedge cutting keeps your boundaries looking neat, encourages healthy growth, and takes the hard work out of what can be a time-consuming and physically demanding job. Rowse Tree Services carry out hedge cutting and maintenance for domestic and commercial properties across East Devon, from garden hedges to large boundary hedgerows.
Why Regular Hedge Cutting Matters
Regular trimming does more than keep a hedge looking tidy. Cutting at the right time and in the right way encourages denser, healthier growth, resulting in a thicker, more attractive hedge that provides better structure, privacy, and shelter over time. Left untrimmed, hedges can become open and woody at the base, which is much harder to correct further down the line.
Most hedges benefit from trimming once or twice a year, depending on the species. Light maintenance can be carried out during the growing season to keep growth in check, while heavier reductions are generally best left until winter when the hedge is dormant. Getting the timing right makes a real difference to the long-term health and appearance of the hedge.
Bird nesting season runs from March to August, and active nests are legally protected. Disturbing them is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. We always work within these guidelines and can advise on the best time to schedule your hedge work to avoid any issues.
Get in TouchDifferent species need different approaches. Fast-growing hedges like Leylandii need more frequent attention to stay manageable, while slower-growing species like beech, hornbeam, or yew can be cut less often and to a more precise shape. We're experienced with all common hedge species and will tailor the approach accordingly.
We clear and remove all arisings from site as part of the job, leaving your garden tidy and ready to enjoy. If your hedge has become overgrown or misshapen over the years, we can also advise on a programme of remedial work to gradually bring it back into shape without putting too much stress on the plants.
