Hall Green is where J and Son is based, so hedge trimming here is local work for us. The inter-war semis and bungalows around the Stratford Road have long back gardens, and many have conifers or Leylandii that have been left to grow. Garden hedges are everywhere, and plenty of them are due a proper cut. That is what we do.
Whether you need a front privet squared up or a tall back boundary brought down to size, we will look at it, explain the options and cut it neatly. Clippings are taken away and paths are swept before we go. Because we are close by, visiting regularly is easy to arrange if you want the hedge kept in shape.
Long back gardens mean long hedges, and in Hall Green a lot of them are Leylandii or similar conifers. They grow fast and wide, and once they are well above head height they cast shade over most of the garden. We reduce them in a sensible way, taking height and width down while staying in green growth, which gives the hedge a good chance of staying thick.
If a Leylandii hedge has been left for a long time, we may recommend doing the work in two stages. The first cut brings down the worst of the height and width, and a second visit shapes it once the hedge has settled. It is slower than one hard cut but far less likely to leave bare patches, and it means your Hall Green hedge keeps its colour while it recovers.
Bungalows and semis in Hall Green often have front hedges that frame the whole house. Because the house is low, a hedge that has grown tall can make the front garden feel closed in, so a modest height and a neat face make a big difference to the look of the house. We cut privet, laurel and other front hedges to a clean, level finish.
Closer to busy roads, a thick hedge also softens noise and screens the street, so we are careful not to thin it too far. We aim for a tidy shape that still gives privacy. Mixed garden hedges between neighbours get the same attention, with sides cut evenly and the top kept level along the whole run, however long the garden happens to be.
Being based in Hall Green means we can pop back for a second tidy or fit in a regular visit without any fuss. We will always check for birds' nests and leave occupied sections alone. If a neighbour also needs their hedge done, tell us and we can often do both together. We also cover Moseley and Kings Heath, close to where we are.
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.

Usually yes, though we may do it in stages to protect the hedge. We can use a platform or ladders to reach the top and take down height and width while keeping to green growth. We will explain our plan before we begin work.
Yes. Many Hall Green customers have us visit once or twice a season so the hedge never gets out of hand. We agree how often suits the plant and your garden, then come back on a routine that works.
Yes, always. We collect the clippings as we cut, load them into our vehicle and take them away. We sweep the path, drive and patio afterwards. If you want some left for composting, we will leave a tidy pile for you.
