If your Kidderminster hedge has stopped looking like a hedge and started looking like a wall of leaves, we can sort it. We trim sides and tops, reduce height and width, and shape conifers, privet, laurel and beech so that they sit properly on the boundary again, rather than leaning over the path.
The town has a mix of period terraces and later estates, so gardens range from narrow strips to long plots. We adjust our approach to suit, and we take the cuttings away so you are not left with the job.
Many of the twentieth century estates around Kidderminster have gardens bounded by conifers that were planted small and have kept climbing. Left alone they shade lawns, crowd fences and drop needles into gutters. We bring them back to a sensible width and height, cutting carefully so the shape stays even and the growth underneath is not exposed to the weather. Doing this early makes the job easier on the plant and less work overall.
Where conifers are tall enough to need a platform or long-reach tools, we set up on firm ground and work along the line in sections. If a hedge has grown beyond what can be cut back safely, we tell you plainly, and talk through whether reducing it or replacing it makes more sense for your garden and your budget. That honest advice is part of the job, and we would rather give it than cut badly.
Period terraces in Kidderminster often have short front gardens with a low hedge facing the pavement. These need a crisp, regular trim rather than heavy cutting, and they look much better for being kept to a clean line. We cut the front and top by eye, check the profile from the road, then tidy any ragged edges that spoil the finish. A sharp, level finish at the front makes the whole house look looked after.
A regular visit suits this kind of hedge well, because small, frequent trims keep the growth dense and stop it spreading across the path. We can come once or on a repeat schedule that suits you, and we take the clippings with us each time. We also cover Bewdley and Stourport-on-Severn, if you have family nearby who need the same. Short visits like this keep the cost of keeping up with the hedge low.
Hedges in Kidderminster gardens are home to nesting birds from spring through the summer, and we take that seriously. Before we cut we look through the hedge for nests, and if we find one in use we leave that section until the young have flown. The rest of the garden is dealt with, swept and left clear, and we come back for the remainder.
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.

Fast growers such as privet and Leylandii usually need cutting at least once or twice a year to stay neat. Slower hedges like beech may only need one trim. We can suggest a visit pattern after seeing how yours grows.
Often, yes, as long as there is green growth to cut back to. Some conifers will not regrow from bare wood, so we check first before making any cuts. We will explain what a safe reduction looks like for your hedge before we begin.
We do. All cuttings are bagged or loaded and taken away, and we sweep paths, drives and borders afterwards. Tell us if you would like some kept for composting or mulch, and we will leave it where you want it.
