Tall hedges are a job for a professional
A hedge that has been let go for a few seasons is hard work to bring back, and the tallest ones sit over driveways, paths and sometimes overhead lines. That is not work to tackle from a stepladder at the weekend.
We cut hedges to a straight, even face, bring overgrown ones back to a manageable size, and clear every cutting away when we are done, so all that is left is a tidy hedge and a clean garden.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
When can hedges be cut?
Under the Wildlife Acts, cutting hedgerows is restricted between 1 March and 31 August, with certain exemptions, and nesting birds are protected all year. The rules can be different for some garden hedges, so if you are unsure, check before work is booked. If birds are nesting in a hedge, the work should wait, and we will talk through the best timing with you.
Can an overgrown hedge be cut back hard?
Many hedges, such as laurel and beech, recover well from being reduced. Conifers like leylandii do not regrow from old bare wood, so cutting too far back can leave brown patches. We will tell you how far your hedge can safely come back.
Do you take the cuttings away?
Yes. Ground sheets are laid while we work and the cuttings are cleared up and chipped or taken away, so your lawn and beds are left clean.
Can you cut a hedge near overhead lines?
Hedges near lines need extra care. Where lines are involved, we will look at the situation first and tell you honestly what can be done safely, and whether the network operator needs to be involved.
Do you offer regular hedge trimming?
Yes. Many hedges look best with a trim once or twice a year, and we can arrange regular visits to keep them in shape.
How much does hedge cutting cost?
Mostly it depends on the length and height of the hedge, how overgrown it is and the access to it. A photo and a rough length is often enough for us to give you a free quotation.
Hedge got out of hand?
Send us a photo and roughly how long it is. We cover Westmeath, Roscommon, Longford, Offaly and Galway, and the quotation to bring it back into shape is free.
