Structured Hedge Maintenance — Not Reactive Cutting

​

Uncontrolled or poorly timed hedge cutting can lead to visibility issues, access restrictions and untidy site appearance. Our approach focuses on planned hedge management, ensuring work is carried out at the right time of year and to clearly defined standards.

 

We manage:

• Boundary and perimeter hedges

• Roadside and visibility hedges

• Shrubs and planted screening areas

• Communal hedges on housing estates

• Decorative and formal hedging

 

Each site is assessed to determine cutting frequency, access requirements and height or width controls.
