Solihull is known for leafy roads, large detached houses and generous gardens, and tall hedges go with all three. We cut and shape them with care, reducing height and width, keeping faces flat and tops level, and leaving the whole garden clean so that the hedge, not the mess, is what you notice.
If your hedge is a formal feature, we treat it that way. If it is an overgrown screen that needs sorting, we will talk through what can be done before we start. Our aim is a hedge that suits the house, without drama or mess.
Large Solihull properties often have formal hedges at the front, such as yew, box, laurel or beech, and these need a precise cut. A flat top and a square face take patience, and we use lines and level checks where it helps. The result is a clean edge that frames the drive and the house without drawing attention to the work. We agree the finished height with you before cutting.
At the sides and rear, the hedges are taller and more varied, and many reach well above head height. We work from stable platforms along the full length, taking clippings away as we go. Whatever the plant, we aim to cut to a shape that suits the garden and keeps its character. Sheets on the borders and a careful approach protect what is growing beneath, which on larger Solihull plots can be a lot of planting.
Parts of Solihull are conservation areas, and many gardens contain mature trees that are part of the street scene. Hedges nearby should be cut to respect that. We follow the existing line, avoid hard changes and keep cutting away from roots and low branches, so the garden stays balanced and in keeping with its surroundings. It is the sort of garden where care really shows.
If you are unsure whether a tree or hedge in your garden has special status, check with the council first, as some trees need permission before work. Hedge trimming itself is usually straightforward. We also cover Knowle, Dorridge and Olton for the same sort of work, so neighbouring roads are welcome to ask. We are happy to talk it through with you before any cutting begins.
On a larger property, tidiness matters as much as the cutting. We use sheets on borders, take all the clippings away and sweep the drive, paths and gate area at the end. Active nests are left alone and noted for a later visit. You are left with a sharp hedge and a garden that looks as if we were never there.
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 formal hedges with a level top and flat face, checking the line as we work. Plants such as yew and box suit this well. We will agree the finished height and width with you before we start.
Hedge trimming generally does not, but trees can be protected, and some hedges may be covered by other rules. If in doubt, check with the council. We can tell you what we would be cutting before you decide.
Formal hedges often need cutting two or three times a year to stay sharp. Looser boundary hedges may need only one cut. We can suggest a plan once we have seen how fast yours grows. Fast growers need more, slow growers less, and the season matters too.
