Benefits of Regular Hedge Trimming

Trimming your hedges is more than keeping them neat. It is good for the plants and your garden too. Regular cuts keep the hedge pretty and let you shape it how you want. It stops branches from growing too much and taking up space. Cutting away dead or sick parts keeps the hedge healthy and stops disease from spreading. It also cuts down on places for pests like rodents to hide, making your garden cleaner and safer.

There is more. Trimming lets sunlight reach the lower branches, keeping the hedge strong all over. In Leicester, hedge trimming matters because our hedges grow fast with all the rain. A good trim can open up your view if the hedge blocks something nice. It also keeps privacy by making the hedge thick and full. For people who like flowers, trimming can help make more blooms, adding color to your yard. It is an easy way to make your hedge last longer and keep your garden simple to look after.

When to Trim Your Hedges

Timing is key for hedge trimming. In the UK, the best time is usually late winter to early spring, around late February or early March. At that time, most hedges are resting, so they handle trimming well and grow back fast. There are fewer bugs and diseases then too, which lowers trouble. It is also before birds start nesting, so we follow wildlife laws. Trimming then helps your hedge grow strong when spring comes.

Some hedges need more care. Fast-growing ones like beech or privet might need another trim in late summer to stay neat. Hedges that need to look perfect all year may need extra trims too. Conifers like juniper can take a spring and summer trim to stay tight and healthy. It depends on your hedge and what you want it to be. If you are not sure when to trim, we can help you pick the best time for your garden and the local weather.

How We Trim Hedges

Our way of working is simple but careful. First, we find out what you need. You can send us pictures or we can visit for free to see the hedge. Once we know the job, we give you a clear quote with all the details. When trimming starts, we put up guide strings to keep things straight. We usually start at the top to make it even, then trim the sides to match the strings. For taller hedges, extra strings help keep it all level.

We use hand tools and powered ones based on the hedge. We want it to be thick and healthy, with the top a bit narrower than the bottom so sunlight reaches everywhere. After trimming, we clean up all the branches. You can keep them, have them made into wood chips, or let us take them away. Either way, we leave your garden neat. We suggest adding a little fertilizer and water after to help the hedge grow back well.

Hedge Removal Services

Sometimes a hedge needs to go instead of just a trim. It might be old, sick, or you want the space for something else. We can handle that. We cut it down, dig out the roots, and take it all away. We check for pipes or cables underground first to avoid trouble. Once it is gone, we get rid of everything in a good way. It is all about keeping your garden how you like it.

What Affects the Cost of Hedge Trimming in Leicester?

The price of hedge trimming in Leicester depends on a few things. How tall and long the hedge is matters a lot. A short hedge takes less time than a big one. Whether you want one side trimmed or both, and if the height needs to go down, changes the cost too. The hedge’s health counts. If it is sick, we might need to be extra careful. The type of hedge, how easy it is to get to, and when it was last trimmed all play a part. Special shapes like curves or squares take more time and skill, so they cost more.

To give you an exact price, we need to see the hedge or get pictures from you. Then, we give you a fair and clear quote. We keep our prices low while doing great work. Leicester hedge trimming should not cost too much, and we make sure it does not.

Safety Comes First

Safety is very important at Leicester Tree Services. Before we trim, we check the hedge and the area around it for anything risky. We follow strict rules to keep everything safe while we work. We use the right gear and have insurance for peace of mind. Whether we are trimming or taking out a hedge, the job gets done with no problems.
