Droitwich mixes period houses, newer estates and large gardens at the village edge, and its hedges range from small clipped fronts to long field hedges that border open land. Mature trees are never far away, and the Droitwich Canals add greenery to some corners of town. If a hedge has got beyond you, we can supply hedge trimming in Droitwich to put it right.
We cut garden hedges to a clean, even finish and field-style hedges to a tidy but natural shape. You can book a one-off cut, or have us visit each season. We clear the clippings, sweep up and leave things as we would want to find them ourselves.
On the edge of Droitwich, a garden can back directly onto farmland or open ground, and the hedge is the boundary between the two. Mixed field hedges are happier with a lighter touch, so we trim them to keep them thick at the base and stop long shoots growing out into the lawn. The aim is a hedge that stays healthy and looks natural, rather than one that looks as if it has been sheared flat.
Long field-style hedges also produce a lot of clippings, and we do not leave them to rot on the grass. We gather them as we work and take them with us. Where a boundary runs beside a lane or track, we cut back the overhang so the way stays open for vehicles and walkers, and we keep an eye on any wires, posts or gates close to the hedge line.
Droitwich has plenty of period houses, and a neat hedge suits them well. Front boundary hedges of privet, laurel or beech are common, and these suit a sharp face and a level top. We cut by eye and check the line from the road, so the hedge frames the property rather than hiding it, and the finished edge matches the age and style of the house.
For taller screens between neighbours, we reduce height and width in measured stages, working carefully around gutters, fences and outbuildings. If a conifer hedge has been left, we explain how far we can safely go. Done gradually, the hedge keeps its colour and density, and you avoid the bare patches that come from cutting too hard, which is a common problem with hedges left too long.
The right timing in Droitwich depends on the hedge and on any nesting birds. We check each section before we cut and leave anything active alone. A main cut in late summer with a light tidy in spring suits many hedges, though fast growers may want more. We also cover Ombersley and Stoke Prior, so we may well be working close to you already.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Yes. We cut back hedges that overhang lanes and tracks so that the way is clear, keeping the face neat and the cut tidy. We collect the clippings and make sure none are left in the road or on the verge when we finish.
A garden hedge is cut for a sharp, formal finish. A field-style hedge is trimmed more loosely to keep its natural shape and thickness. We adjust our approach to the type of hedge and what you want from it, then explain it before we start.
Late summer is often a good time for a main cut, because nesting is over. Fast growers may also need a lighter trim in spring. If birds are nesting we wait for that section. We can advise on the plan that suits your particular hedge.
