Yardley has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows with long gardens, and long gardens mean long hedges. Add the mature trees and conifers found in the area and you have boundaries that can get away from you in a single season. We cut them back to a straight, tidy line and clear up after ourselves.
A single visit can bring a hedge back under control, and regular visits keep it that way. We trim the sides and the top, take the cuttings away and sweep the paths. We agree heights and lines with you first.
A long garden in Yardley might have a hedge on both sides running well down the plot, and cutting that much hedge properly takes time. We work from the house end down to the bottom, keeping the height and width the same all along, so the line does not drift. It makes a real difference to how the whole garden looks. It is a patient job, but worth doing properly.
Bungalows are common here, and their hedges are often at eye level from the windows. That means a neat hedge matters even more, because you see it every day. We trim to a height that gives privacy without blocking the light, and we talk it through with you before we cut. A neat hedge at that height is a daily pleasure. It keeps the room bright.
Conifers are a familiar sight in Yardley gardens, and some have grown far taller than their owners ever planned. We reduce them in sensible stages, since conifers will not regrow from bare wood. A careful cut keeps the green that remains and gives you back height, light and space without leaving a brown scar. It is the only sensible way to cut these.
If a conifer hedge has gone beyond saving, we will say so, and explain what the realistic options are. Sometimes a firm cut over two visits is enough. Sometimes taking a section out and replacing it is wiser. Either way, you will hear it from us plainly before any work is done. That honesty saves you wasted effort. Straight advice comes first.
The Yardley Old Village conservation area has its own character, and we trim with respect for it. Anywhere in Yardley we protect lawns and borders, check for nesting birds before cutting, and remove all clippings at the end. We also cover Acocks Green, Sheldon and Stechford for the same service, and we can combine nearby neighbours if they ask.
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.

Usually yes, depending on length and height. We work down each side from the house, keeping the line even, and take the cuttings away. For very long or tall hedges, we will agree the plan with you first.
Conifers do not regrow from old bare wood, so we only cut to where green growth remains. Often that means reducing the height and width over two visits. We explain what is possible on your hedge before we begin.
Yes. We talk through the height with you, then cut to a level that screens the garden without shading the windows. If the hedge is outside a bungalow window, this matters even more, and we take extra care.
