Overgrown hedges make a whole garden look neglected. Cut clean, level and shaped by hand — with every last cutting cleared away.
Hedges are one of those jobs that creep up on you — a foot of growth a year and suddenly they're blocking light and spilling over the path. We cut them back level and true, reduce the height where they've got too tall, and shape the tops and faces by hand so they look sharp rather than hacked.
Timing matters and we work with it. We avoid cutting during nesting season where there's active wildlife, and we prune the right way for each type — conifers, privet, laurel, box — so they thicken up rather than going bare and brown. Formal shapes and topiary kept crisp, informal hedges kept tidy.
The big difference is the clear-up: every cutting is raked, bagged and taken away, so you're left with a neat hedge and a clean garden, not a pile of green waste to deal with. Across Ilkeston, West Hallam and Shipley, fixed price agreed before we start.
Both — regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly rounds to keep things tidy, or a one-off job whenever you need it. Most people start with a one-off, then go regular once they see the difference.
Yes — every clipping, cutting and bit of green waste is cleared and taken away as part of the price. No bags left, no skip to hire.
Almost certainly — we cover Ilkeston and everywhere around it including Cotmanhay, Kirk Hallam, West Hallam, Shipley and Trowell. Send your postcode and we'll confirm.
