Looking For Domestic Hedge Trimming?

Our hedging crews have a wide variety of equipment and experience to suit all aspects of hedging work. From large conifers (requiring platforms and telescopic tools); to small ornamental hedging and shrubs; through to road side hedge assignments requiring flails and traffic control measures. 

Our commercial projects include annual hedge maintenance programmes with schools, large estates and business parks – one of the biggest hedges we work on regularly is 7 metres high and a staggering 212 metres long!
