Hedges in Oldbury take a lot of punishment from wind, traffic and neglect, and they soon lose their shape. We cut hedges in gardens of all sizes here, from small terrace frontages to longer inter-war plots, taking the sides and top back to a clean line and removing every bit of waste we produce.
A hedge that is cut regularly is far easier to maintain than one left to grow for seasons on end. If yours has already got out of hand, we can still bring it back, and we will explain what is realistic for the plant before we begin.
On many Oldbury streets, a front hedge sits directly beside the public footpath. When it grows out, people have to step into the road to get past, and the hedge ends up damaged by passing bags and pushchairs. We cut these hedges back to the garden line, keeping the face flat and the top neat, and we make sure the footway is clear.
Front hedges here are often privet, which is forgiving and quick to bounce back, so a tight trim is a good choice. We take care at gateposts and corners, where growth tends to crowd in. The finished result is straightforward, tidy and easy to keep up with a quick trim during the growing season, so the street looks better for everyone. It is a small job that makes a visible difference.
The inter-war semis and estates in Oldbury often have gardens with a mix of old hedges and a few mature trees. Branches overhanging a hedge make the cutting awkward, so we work around them and avoid damaging either. Where a hedge has grown up into a tree canopy, we cut the hedge cleanly and let you know about any tree work that might help.
Warley Woods is close enough that many people in Oldbury appreciate a bit of greenery, and a well-kept hedge is part of that. We cut to a shape that suits the plant, rather than forcing a formal look on a hedge that is naturally loose. Smethwick and Langley customers are also welcome to ask for the same. Each hedge is cut on its merits.
We take all of the clippings away when we finish in Oldbury and sweep up around the hedge, so the garden looks right as soon as we go. If you want it kept that way, a regular visit once or twice a year stops the hedge growing out again, and spares you the larger job that follows when it is left.
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 the hedge back to your boundary so the footway is clear, and we tidy the top and sides at the same time. We also remove all the clippings so nothing is left behind on the path or in the road.
Privet usually takes a hard cut well, and it will often shoot again from older wood. We still prefer to reduce it in one or two stages and check the response. We will explain how much we advise taking off.
Yes, we can. Tell us who is arranging access and where the hedge is, and we will agree the work in advance. We tidy up fully each visit, which makes it easy for the property to stay presentable.
