Hedge Trimming in Exmouth & East Devon

Most clients book once a year for a clean, formal finish; some prefer twice a year to keep lines extra crisp through the growing season. Leylandii and privet benefit from more frequent light trims but can hold a good shape on a one-to-two-times-yearly schedule. Laurel and photinia typically suit twice a year. Yew, beech and hornbeam usually hold their shape with one or two precise trims annually, often a single late-summer cut.

Yes, where the species, condition and site allow. Some hedges, such as laurel and yew, tolerate reductions better than others, like leylandii. We advise on safe limits and may recommend staged reductions over one or two seasons for the best result.

Many birds nest in hedges between March and August, though activity can occur year-round. We check for nests before and during work, and if an active nest is found, we delay or modify the work to avoid disturbance, in line with the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981.

Yes. Green waste removal is included as standard. Arisings are collected, loaded and taken off-site. If you'd like to keep the cuttings for compost, just ask, otherwise we leave the site tidy with hard surfaces blown down and pathways clear.

Quotes are based on the hedge's length and height, its density, access to the site, waste volume, and whether shaping or reduction work is involved. Photos and a brief description, or simply a postcode, help with a fast estimate, and we're happy to visit where needed.
