Hedge trimming in Swindon

Hedge trimming near me is the job people put off until the path disappears. We cut, reduce and reshape garden and boundary hedges, and we take the clippings away.

Recent hedge trimming jobs

Front hedge cut back

The privet had taken the view and the path. It was lowered and faced so the garden and the car park were clear again.

Hedge on a stone wall

The hedge was spilling over the wall and into the lane. It was brought back to a flat top and a straight face.

Laurel reduced beside the path

The laurel had swallowed the block path. A string line went on and the hedge was cut back to a face you can walk past.

Conifer faced by the drive

The conifer was pushing over the path and the car. The face was cut back so the drive could be used again.

Front laurel tidied

Flowering shoots were sticking out of the laurel. It was squared off and the clippings were cleared off the drive.

Conifer squared by the house

The top was thin and sticking up past the windows. It was levelled so the hedge sits as a block again.

Tall boundary by the greenhouse

The conifer towered over the path. It was reduced and the clippings bagged so the lawn could be used.

Hedge reduced by the chiminea

The hedge had grown well above the patio. The height came down and the face was cleaned up.

Conifer topped in a back garden

The conifer was ragged and woody at the base. The top was levelled and the face filled in.

Hedge lowered behind the coop

The boundary was dark and high above the chicken run. It was brought down so the garden had light again.

Side hedge cut and cleared

Clippings were sheeted while the conifer was faced. The path was left swept when the cut was done.

What is included

  • Top and sides brought back to a line
  • Harder reductions where a hedge has been left
  • Clippings collected and removed
  • A check for active nests before we start in season
  • Advice if the hedge wants a fence instead

Options

  • Seasonal trim

    Privet, laurel, beech and mixed boundaries brought back once or twice a year.

  • Reduction

    Height and width taken down where a hedge has swallowed a path, a window or the pavement.

  • Clear and fence

    If the hedge is hollow at the base, a fence is sometimes the honest answer. We will say so.

  • Front boundary tidy

    Often paired with a path or a gate so the front of the house looks cared for.

How the job runs

  1. 01

    Photos help us judge height and access.

  2. 02

    We check for nesting birds in season and delay if we need to.

  3. 03

    Cut, shape and clear.

  4. 04

    Leave the path and lawn swept.

What changes the price

Straightforward jobs often start from £80. Height, access and how much growth comes off set the visit. The written quote replaces this guide.

  • · Height — ladders and reach change the job
  • · How many years of growth are coming off
  • · Waste volume
  • · Access from the road or only from your side

Questions

Do you cut hedges in nesting season?

We look before we cut. If birds are nesting we wait. A light tidy is not worth disturbing a nest.

Can you remove the waste?

Yes. Leaving a green mountain on the lawn is not a finished job.
