Benefits of Regular Hedge Maintenance

Professional hedge maintenance delivers multiple benefits that extend beyond aesthetic appeal:

Structural Integrity

Regular trimming prevents hedges from becoming top-heavy and unstable. This is particularly crucial for taller specimens that could pose safety risks if left unmaintained.

Health Management

Proper maintenance allows for:

Better air circulation through the hedge
Increased light penetration to inner branches
Early detection of diseases and pests

Dead or crossing branches can also harbour disease, so it's best to spot and remove these on a regular basis.

Growth Control

Scheduled trimming maintains your hedge at the desired height and width, preventing encroachment on pathways, buildings, or neighbouring properties.

FAQs

How often should hedges be trimmed?

The frequency depends on the hedge variety and growth rate. Formal hedges typically need trimming 2-3 times during the growing season (April-September). Informal hedges may only require annual trimming. At Surrey Fells Tree Services Ltd, we assess each hedge individually and recommend an optimal maintenance schedule.

What is the best time of year for hedge trimming?

The optimal timing depends on the hedge species. Most deciduous hedges should be trimmed in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Evergreen hedges are best trimmed in mid-spring or early summer. We always check for nesting birds before commencing work, as it's illegal to disturb active nests between March and August.

Do you provide emergency hedge trimming services?

Yes, Surrey Fells Tree Services Ltd provides emergency hedge trimming services for situations such as storm damage, safety hazards, or when hedges obstruct visibility on roads or pathways. Contact us immediately for urgent assistance.

What happens to the hedge trimmings after maintenance?

We always clear and remove all hedge trimmings as part of our service. The waste is properly disposed of through green waste recycling facilities. We can also leave the clippings for composting if requested, provided they're suitable for this purpose.
