Gardens in Stourport-on-Severn often sit close to the water, whether that is the River Severn or the canal basin. Damp air and plenty of light help hedges put on a lot of growth, so a boundary that looked fine in spring can be shaggy by late summer. We bring them back to a straight, even finish.
We take on one-off cuts and regular seasonal visits, and we handle privet, laurel, beech, conifers and mixed hedges. Clippings go with us, and we sweep up the paths and any hard standing before leaving. Regular visits and a clear brief mean no surprises on the day.
Homes near the river in Stourport-on-Severn tend to have moist soil and open boundaries, and hedges grow quickly in those conditions. A laurel or privet hedge can add a surprising amount of height in one season. We cut the sides back to the line you want and take the top down level, which stops the hedge getting heavy and leaning outwards. That also leaves the hedge healthier, because light and air reach the inside.
Some riverside hedges back onto open ground or run beside a footpath. We keep the outer face straight and clear of the path, so walkers are not brushing past branches. If a hedge also screens the house from the water, we trim it to keep privacy rather than cutting it too low. Where the hedge borders open ground, we also check that no stray branches have grown through the other side.
Stourport-on-Severn has a mix of period houses and 20th century estates, and the hedges are very different. Older properties often have long, mature boundary hedges with plenty of body, while estate gardens usually have shorter runs that need regular tidying. We adjust our approach to suit, rather than treating every hedge the same. Each hedge gets the cut that suits its growth.
For longer period hedges we work along the full length, keeping width and height consistent from one end to the other. On smaller estate plots the job is quicker, and a regular trim keeps the hedge compact. If you are not sure how often yours needs cutting, we can give an honest view based on the species. That makes the visits shorter and keeps the cost of upkeep in check without anyone being surprised.
Mature willows and other riverside trees drop a lot of leaf and twig into the hedges beneath them. When we trim in Stourport-on-Severn, we clear that debris out of the base as well as cutting the surface. Wet ground can be soft underfoot, so we take care with ladders and kit. We also cover Bewdley, Areley Kings and Astley, and we check for nesting birds first.

Laurel in damp, open conditions often grows hard, so one or two cuts a year is common. Some keep tidier with a lighter trim mid-season. We can look at your hedge and suggest a sensible routine, then visit on a schedule that suits you.
Yes. We cut the outer face straight and back from the path so nobody is pushed aside by branches, and we clear the cuttings from the path itself. Please mention it when you get in touch, so we plan for people passing by.
Usually yes, with care. Soft ground affects where we can safely place steps and kit, so we adjust the way we work. If conditions are unsafe, we will say so and suggest returning when the ground has firmed up.
