Sutton Coldfield is known for large detached houses behind tall, well-grown hedges. With Sutton Park nearby and mature oaks and conifers in many gardens, privacy is a big part of the appeal, but a hedge that tall needs proper attention. We cut and shape them to a sharp, level finish and tidy everything afterwards.
Some owners want a single big cut to reset an overgrown boundary, others prefer regular visits. We are happy with either, working along the full length of the hedge and taking all clippings away with us. Nothing is left lying on the drive.
Many properties in Sutton Coldfield have front boundaries well over head height, and the tops need to be cut at a real height, not just from the ground. We use suitable access equipment and work steadily so that the line stays level along the whole run. A uniform top is what makes a tall hedge look smart rather than overgrown. We always check the ground beneath before we set anything up.
The sides matter just as much. A hedge that has been allowed to spread will swallow the drive or lean over the pavement. We bring the width back in so the face is flat and the hedge is stable, and so vehicles and visitors can pass without brushing against foliage. On larger plots we often work around the whole boundary, so that front and side hedges match.
Parts of Sutton Coldfield fall within conservation areas, where trees are protected in particular ways. Hedge trimming is normally a separate matter, but if your garden also has trees close to the boundary we will tell you plainly what we can and cannot touch. We would rather check than cause a problem for you. Our job is to give you straight information, and then do the trimming well.
Mature oaks and conifers also shade hedges below them, and this can leave one side thin. We trim in a way that encourages the thinner side to fill in where possible. For very large gardens we can plan the work in stages, so each boundary gets proper attention. That suits big properties where every edge is on show from the road. We agree the order with you first.
A big hedge in Sutton Coldfield produces a lot of waste, and we do not leave it for you to deal with. All clippings are bagged or loaded and removed, and the drive, paths and borders are swept before we go. We also cover Four Oaks, Mere Green and Boldmere, and we check carefully for nesting birds before we start.
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 use suitable access equipment to reach the top safely and keep the line level along the whole run. If the hedge is much taller than you want, we may suggest reducing it over more than one cut so it stays healthy.
Hedge trimming is usually treated differently from work on trees, but rules vary. If trees stand close to your boundary, check with the council first. We will tell you openly whether anything in your garden needs checking before we start.
Yes. We cut the face back to a straight line so the drive is clear for cars and visitors. If the hedge has grown into old wood, we will explain how far back is safe, so it keeps its health and shape.
