Stump Grinding (Optional): If removal is part of the job, we can grind down roots or stumps for a smooth, polished finish.

Optimal Timing for Hedge Trimming

Timing is critical for effective hedge trimming in Leicester’s climate. We recommend late winter to early spring, around late February to early March, as the ideal period for most hedges. During this dormant phase, hedges experience less stress from pruning, pests are less active, and it aligns with UK wildlife laws before the bird nesting season begins. This timing also promotes vigorous growth as spring arrives. However, some hedges, like fast-growing deciduous varieties or formal hedges, may benefit from additional trims in late summer to maintain shape and density. We tailor our schedule to your hedge type and local conditions for optimal results.

How We Approach Hedge Trimming

Our approach to hedge trimming combines precision with care to achieve both aesthetic appeal and plant health. Since many hedges serve as privacy screens, we aim to keep them dense from top to bottom. A key technique we use is shaping the top slightly narrower than the base, allowing sunlight to reach the lower branches for even growth.

We set up guide strings for accuracy, placing stakes at each end of the hedge and running strings along the top and bottom on both sides. For taller hedges, we might add a middle string for extra precision. We begin by trimming the top to create a level surface, then move to the sides, aligning with the strings for a neat finish. Using a mix of manual shears and motorized saws, we ensure clean cuts, finishing with the ends. Our methods adapt to the hedge type and your desired style, whether it is a simple tidy or a more intricate design. After trimming, we recommend a light application of compost or slow-release fertilizer and proper watering to support new growth.

Environmental Responsibility

At Leicester Hedge Trimming, we are deeply committed to sustainability. We recycle hedge waste whenever possible, turning clippings into mulch or compost to minimize landfill use. When appropriate, we also offer guidance on replanting to maintain greenery in your garden and support the local ecosystem, ensuring our work contributes positively to the environment.
