Hall Green is our home patch, and we know the long back gardens behind its inter-war semis and bungalows well. Conifers and Leylandii are everywhere here, along with garden hedges and the occasional large tree. Our tree pruning in Hall Green keeps them in proportion so they stop swallowing the lawn and the light.
Because we are local, we can often see the problem for ourselves quickly and talk it through on site. We agree which branches go and which stay, then carry out the pruning neatly and clear the garden afterwards.
A Leylandii planted as a small screen can reach a great height surprisingly quickly, and in Hall Green gardens we regularly meet rows that now shade neighbouring houses. Reduction is possible, but only within the green foliage. Cut into the bare brown interior and the tree will not regrow, leaving a hole that never fills in. Hall Green hedges are a familiar example.
That is why timing matters with these trees. Regular trimming keeps a Leylandii hedge dense and manageable, while one left for a long time may only be reducible by a modest amount. We will say frankly what is possible, and if the row is beyond saving, we can talk about felling it and replacing it with something that will stay small. Replacement is a last resort, never our first suggestion.
The long back gardens in Hall Green leave room for apple, pear, cherry and ornamental trees as well as the usual hedges. Pruning those is about balance. We take out crossing branches and crowded growth so that light gets in, shorten extensions that droop towards the ground, and leave the tree with an open, even shape that flowers and fruits well. This suits the typical Hall Green garden very well.
Bungalows bring their own concern, because a tree near a low roof can overhang it very quickly. Trimming back the branches that reach over a bungalow roof is usually straightforward, and it reduces the leaf and twig litter in gutters. We protect the roof, lawn and borders as we work and take the cuttings away. Gutters stay clearer as a result. We leave everything neat.
Many trees are pruned in winter, while some fruiting and flowering trees prefer other times, so tell us what you have. We leave active nests alone from spring. In Hall Green, check whether a tree is protected before booking. We also cover Acocks Green, Moseley and Kings Heath, so whichever side of Hall Green you are, get in touch.
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.

As far as the green growth allows. We reduce height and width within the living foliage but never into bare brown wood, because it will not regrow. We will look at the hedge with you and say honestly how much is possible.
Speak to your neighbour first, as the tree is theirs. If they agree, we can prune it, and we will be careful over the roof. You may generally cut overhanging branches back to your boundary, but you should check any protection.
Most benefit from regular trimming through the growing season rather than a huge cut now and then. Little and often keeps the hedge dense and the height controlled. We can set up a routine to suit your hedge.
