Hedge trimming in Kirkby-in-Ashfield — conifer, privet, laurel and beech. Cut level, shaped properly, all cuttings taken away. Free quotes.
A hedge that has got away from you is a different job from one that is kept, and it is worth saying which you have on the phone. The long boundary hedges on the Kirkby estates are usually the ones that have been left a season too long.
Hedges are cut level off a line rather than by eye, and tapered slightly so the bottom keeps its light and does not go bare. A hedge that has been cut straight-sided for years is usually why the base has thinned out.
The long boundary hedges on the Kirkby estates produce far more waste than people expect. It is raked, bagged and taken away, and we will not cut anything with an active nest in it.
Late summer for most, and a light tidy in spring. We avoid March to August where there is any sign of nesting — it is illegal to disturb an active nest, and we would rather come back than risk it.
Usually, but carefully. Conifers do not regrow from brown wood, so taking too much at once leaves you with a permanent bare patch. We reduce over two seasons where that is the risk.
Yes, always, and it is in the quote. A long boundary hedge produces far more than people expect and leaving it stacked is not finishing the job.
