Neat, Healthy Hedges

Whether it's a tidy garden hedge, a long roadside boundary or leylandii that's been left to run wild, we trim, shape and reduce hedges of every size. Regular cutting keeps a hedge dense and healthy, and a badly overgrown one can be brought back with a reduction in height and width.

We work within the Wildlife Act, which restricts hedgerow cutting during the bird nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, and we'll be straight with you about what can be done at your time of year.

All the cuttings are cleared and chipped before we go, so there's nothing left for you to tidy.

  • Hedge trimming and shaping
  • Height and width reduction

We had multiple large trees removed due to Ash Dieback. Some were very hard to access and the Elm team had all the correct equipment to do the job safely. Very good crew of lads.

I am really pleased with your team, the service provided, and the great communication. Cutting the trees made a huge difference in the landscape around the house. I would like to thank you for the work done yesterday and for the team's professionalism. They have left everything so clean that no one could notice that 4 trees were cut. Definitely, I will be in touch with Elm Landscaping and tree surgery services if I need more work done in the future.

Hedge Cutting & Maintenance FAQs

Questions people in Clare often ask about hedge cutting. Don’t see yours? Get in touch.

Ask a Question

Under the Wildlife Act, hedgerow cutting is restricted between 1 March and 31 August to protect nesting birds, with limited exemptions such as road safety. Light trimming of a garden hedge may still be possible, and we’ll advise on yours.

Yes, using platforms where needed. Leylandii won’t grow back from old brown wood, so we’ll explain how much can safely come off while keeping the hedge green.

We do. Along with garden hedges, we cut long roadside and field boundaries, outside the nesting season or where an exemption applies.
