Halesowen sits on the edge of the Clent and Lickey hills, and its gardens reflect it: sloping lawns, semis and estates, mature trees and hedges that do well in the shelter. When growth outpaces the cutting, a hedge can swallow a front path or dominate a back lawn. We provide hedge trimming in Halesowen to get these hedges back to a sensible size.
We work on privet, laurel, conifers, beech and mixed hedges, cutting sides and tops cleanly and reducing height or width as needed. Clippings go in our vehicle, not in a heap on your lawn, and the paths are swept before we leave. You can book a single visit or ask us to come back through the season.
On many Halesowen roads the hedge is the shared edge between two neighbours, so it has to look right from both sides, and it should not become a source of tension. We cut both faces evenly, keep the top level and avoid leaving one side thinner than the other. If a hedge has crept across a boundary, we trim it back to the line, which makes life easier between neighbours in Halesowen and avoids any argument over who should do the cutting.
Front hedges on semis are another everyday job. A privet or laurel that has grown up across a gate or path can usually be tamed in a single visit, and once it is back to size, a lighter trim now and then keeps it there. We tidy the pavement edge as part of the work so the frontage looks sharp from the road, and we sweep up every leaf and twig before we go.
Close to the Clent and Lickey hills, many Halesowen gardens run uphill or downhill, and the hedge has to follow. Cutting a hedge on a slope is about footing and line, so we set up a platform or short ladder moves, trim a face that follows the ground and keep the top consistent. That gives a tidy, natural result instead of a hedge that looks cut at odd angles.
Sheltered, sloping sites also mean fast, thick growth, particularly on laurel and conifers. We reduce them gradually where needed, keeping green growth on show, and clear all the material with care, taking it away rather than leaving it to rot in a corner of the garden. In some parts of town there are conservation areas, so if trees are close to the hedge we keep clear of them and talk through any tree work separately.
For a lot of Halesowen gardens, two visits a year are plenty: a main cut once nesting has finished and a lighter tidy when the hedge begins to look rough. We check for nests every time and leave active areas for later. We also work in Hasbury and Quinton, so we are often nearby if you would like to join in with neighbours.
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. If you and your neighbour agree, we can trim both faces so the hedge looks even from either garden. If only your side needs cutting, we do that and leave the other side alone. We talk it through with you first so nobody is surprised.
Laurel generally regrows well from a hard cut, so we can often reduce it a lot. We cut stem by stem where possible so the big leaves are not torn. If it is very overgrown, we may stage the work over two visits.
Yes, it is a common job here. We set up carefully for the slope, using a platform or short ladder moves, and trim the hedge to follow the ground. If the ground is too unstable to work from safely, we will tell you before we start.
