How often should hedges be trimmed?

It depends on the hedge type and how quickly it grows. Most formal hedges benefit from trimming a few times a year to stay neat and dense, while slower growing hedges may need less. We can advise on a schedule that suits your hedge.

Can you shape hedges as well as trim them?

Yes. As well as keeping hedges trimmed back, we shape them to a neat, consistent form, whether you prefer straight, formal lines or a softer rounded shape.

Do you clean up the clippings?

Yes. We tidy up and remove the clippings after trimming so your garden is left clean and ready to enjoy.

Can you reduce an overgrown hedge?

Yes. We carry out heavier reduction cuts to bring overgrown hedges back under control, then set up regular trimming to keep them in shape.

How tall a hedge can you trim?

We trim most residential hedges around the northern Gold Coast. For very tall or difficult access hedges, contact us to confirm we can safely carry out the work.

Common Hedge Problems We Solve

Hedges grow quickly on the northern Gold Coast. These are the issues we help homeowners with most often.

Hedges growing over paths and driveways

When hedges spread outwards they block walkways and driveways. We trim them back to a clean line so access is clear again.

Tall hedges blocking light and views

Overgrown hedges can shade your garden and windows. We reduce the height and width to let light back in while keeping the hedge healthy.

Shaggy, uneven growth

Irregular growth makes a hedge look untidy. We even it up and shape it so the whole hedge has a neat, consistent form.

Garden beds full of clippings

Trimming leaves a mess. We tidy up and remove the clippings so your garden is clean and ready to enjoy.

What We Trim and Shape

From formal border hedges to individual shrubs, we handle a range of hedging work around the garden.

Formal hedges

Tightly clipped, straight lined hedges used as borders and screens. We keep them crisp and dense with regular, light trimming.

Shrubs and bushes

Individual shrubs and bushes around the garden. We shape and tidy them so they fit neatly into the rest of the garden.

Screening hedges

Taller hedges used for privacy. We trim and reduce them carefully so they keep doing their job while staying neat.

Our Approach to Hedging

We trim to suit the hedge type rather than cutting everything the same way. Formal hedges get a light, frequent trim to stay crisp and dense, while overgrown hedges are reduced carefully so they stay healthy and recover well.

Every visit finishes with a full tidy up. We clear the clippings from paths, lawns and garden beds so your garden is left clean and ready to enjoy.

We work to the same consistent standard on every visit, whether it is a one-off tidy or regular maintenance.

A clean, even trim gives your hedge a defined form that makes the whole garden look cared for.

Kept to the right size

We trim and reduce hedges so they stay within bounds and do not spread over paths, fences or windows.

We clear away and remove the clippings after every trim, so your garden is left clean.

Regular trimming encourages thicker, healthier growth and helps keep your hedge looking full.
