Hedge Laying and Cutting

Hedgerow Planting
Putting in a new hedgerow is such a great idea, by doing so you are creating a home for all sorts of wildlife. This creates a safe corridor for wildlife to travel through and improves the safety of the animals on your property.
We always plant new hedges in a sustainable way which means that in 3 – 8 years we can return to lay in a traditional double brush style.
Hedges for all properties
Hedge laying and cutting are essential practices for maintaining the health, structure, and appearance of hedgerows. Hedge laying is a traditional technique used to manage and rejuvenate overgrown or untidy hedges by partially cutting and bending stems, weaving them into a structured barrier. This promotes new growth at the base of the hedge, encouraging it to thicken and creating a dense, living fence that is both visually appealing and practical for marking boundaries or containing livestock. Hedge laying is ideal for rural or agricultural settings, but it also enhances the biodiversity of hedgerows by creating habitats for wildlife.
Hedge cutting, on the other hand, focuses on regular trimming to maintain the desired shape, height, and density of hedges. This is particularly important for formal garden settings or urban areas where neatly maintained boundaries are crucial for aesthetic appeal. By trimming away excess growth, hedge cutting encourages healthier and fuller regrowth, while also preventing the hedge from becoming too large or unruly.

Hedgerow Maintenance
Regularly trimming your hedgerow is important to keep the growth nice and tight and prevent the hedge from getting too tall. We have many hedge cutters for cutting all types of hedgerow whether they are native board leaf hedges, conifer hedges, laurel, box, or privet hedges. All hedge work will need to be carried out before the start of the bird nesting season or after it has finished. The nesting season is usually February until the end of August, but this can vary from year-to–year. You can read more about our tree surgeon services here.
Hedge Laying
We complete a traditional double brush–style of hedge laying. This means that both sides of the hedges will have growth and will protect the new shoots from grazing animals.
If you have planted a new hedge it will probably be 3 – 7 years before it needs maintaining depending on where your hedge is and how much growth it has on it.
Please note that we only lay native broadleaf hedges.
