Hedge trimming, shaping and height reduction

Tall screening hedges are easy to plant and hard to keep tidy once they're above ladder height. We trim, shape and reduce hedges of any size, including overgrown lilly pilly screens and bamboo, and take all the clippings away.

Hedges we look after

We regularly trim lilly pilly, murraya, viburnum, photinia, conifer screens and box hedges. We also cut back and remove running bamboo, which can spread well beyond where it was planted.

Taking the height down

If a hedge has grown well past what you wanted, we can reduce it in stages so it fills back in rather than leaving bare stems. Hedges along a shared boundary can also fall under the Trees (Disputes Between Neighbours) Act, and we're happy to talk through options before work starts.

Regular visits

Most screens look best with two or three trims a year. We can book you in on a regular cycle so it never gets out of hand again.

When to call us

  • The hedge is too tall to trim from a ladder
  • It's shading the garden or the neighbour's yard
  • Gaps and bare patches are opening up
  • Bamboo is spreading under the fence

Hedge trimming questions

Can you reduce a really tall hedge in one go?

Some species cope with a hard reduction and others don't. Lilly pillies usually recover well. Conifers often won't regrow from bare wood. We'll tell you which approach suits your hedge.

Do you remove bamboo?

Yes. We cut and remove bamboo clumps and can grind or dig out the base. Running bamboo may need follow-up visits to deal with new shoots.
