Hedge Management

If you have an untidy looking hedge in your garden that is in need of a little TLC, you can call our hedge trimming Wirral service team for help with managing it. Considering the benefits that a hedge can offer, from noise reduction to mitigating flood damage, hedge cutting services are a good investment.

The first thing we look at in hedge maintenance is 'edge' maintenance, and this is a delicate balancing act. If an untrained person tried to cut a hedge themselves and makes too many cuts, you could be left with a very bare bush. And if this is left to grow it can very quickly become untidy and overgrown. Regular watering, feeding and pruning is also required to keep a hedge looking fantastic and some of the other methods we use to manage your hedges include:
 

  • Hand pruning - We use hand pruning on hedges to let sunlight through to the middle so that the hedge can grow evenly throughout and gain density.
  • Winter pruning - Pruning that happens in the winter months help to prevent buds from breaking so that the energy is directed to new growth where it's most wanted and needed.
  • Wide base - We trim hedges so that they are slightly wider at the bottom than the top and this is because it allows the lower branches to get enough sunlight so that the hedge grows evenly.
  • Maintain space - When new hedges are planted, there must be space left between them to grow. Standard practise is to leave a 3 feet space around and between them, or to choose a hedge species that will not outgrow the space.

Hedge Maintenance

With any pruning and hedge trimming Wirral service, a variety of methods should be used to preserve the health and aesthetic of your hedgerows. If your trees, shrubs and bushes are looked after well, their appeal and aesthetics not only give great pleasure to look at, they can also add to the value of your home.

The main goal of our hedge trimming Wirral team is to tie in the look of your garden together in a cohesive way and make the look of it work together in harmony. At The Tree Surgeons Wirral, we include the following techniques within our hedge management service:


  • Removing branches that decrease the health of the plants
  • Removing overgrown branches or leaves
  • Pruning shrubs and shaping them into a clean design


We use professional tools to carry out our work to ensure the best results when hedge cutting Wirral clients' plants in their gardens and landscapes, leaving them with the premium results that they expect and deserve.


Hedge Trimming & Pruning


If a hedges is not looked after properly and not prune and trimmed at least a couple of times a year, they risk becoming unmanageable and looking very overgrown and unappealing. Hedges are plants that actually think they're trees! And without cutting them down and regularly maintaining them they can grow extremely tall. Our hedge cutting Wirral service and maintenance plan includes regular trimming and pruning once or twice a year and this helps to create foliage density at the top and the sides.

If your hedge is in place for reasons of noise or pollution reduction, or as a barrier to prevent flood damage, density is an important factor that allows it to do these jobs better. When looked after, a garden hedge will outlast your fencing and so they are a very cost-effective solution for attaining more privacy around your property or as a method to reduce noise, pollution and the effects of flooding. We would welcome your call or any questions about your hedges and to tell you more about our pruning and hedge trimming Wirral service.


Hedge Removal


The Tree Surgeons Wirral also offer a Hedge removal service, which can be a labour intensive and complex process. Like trees, when a hedge is cut there is a stump leftover that will requires grinding down and digging up and out along with its entire root system. The depth to which digging is required is dictated by the size and species of the hedge. Hedge removal may be possible to achieve with a spade, a fork and a crowbar although often we utilise a mechanical digger or underground stump grinder. But once your hedge is fully removed we will backfill the space with soil so that you are left with a smooth area where your hedge once stood! A hedge waste disposal service for the roots, leaves and twigs from the procedure may also need to be considered as it might be too much for a regular council garden waste disposal service and we can quote with this included.

Hedge removal is subject to local protection orders and particularly in the case of countryside hedging, breaking a protection order is illegal and can result in a fine of up to £5000. We recommend always seeking expert advice if you are not sure if the hedge you want remove is protected. But these regulations do not apply to boundary hedges between private houses and also when removing hedges that are less than 20m long and don't meet with another hedge at either end. Hedge removal can be carried out if :
 

  • The hedge is not more than 30 years old
  • You own the hedge or the land the property the hedge sits on
  • You are a utility company, permitted and tasked with removing it.
