Hedge Trimming & Shaping

Hedge cutting and shaping across Newark and the surrounding villages — clean lines, sharp finish, mess cleared as we go.

Hedges are the bulk of what we do, and the job we're proudest of.

Straightening up laurel is a genuine skill — those thick, awkward leaves make a clean finish hard to get, and a bad cut leaves a hedge looking chewed for months. Privet that has crept out a foot a year needs reducing in width as well as height. Conifers need judging carefully, because cut too far into old wood they simply won't come back. Yew and topiary need shaping rather than shearing.

We do all of it, from a quick tidy-up trim to taming something that has become more jungle than hedge. Everything comes down onto sheets and leaves with us — you get the finished hedge without a fortnight of clippings blowing round the garden.

"The trees and shrubs were cut back and shaped which made the garden look amazing!"

Enthusiastic and polite young guys who have taken the initiative to start their own business. They’ve learned on the job, listened to feedback and always tried to help as well as saving us a whole winter of leaf collection which is nobody’s favourite job in a large garden.

Charlie has done several jobs for us in the last year. Large lawns cut, big hedges trimmed and our long driveway cleared. He is friendly, punctual and always does an excellent job. Thanks Charlie!

Have had Charlie & Callum to do my garden for nearly 2 yrs now. They are always willing to tackle any job I have asked them to do. Both the boys are so polite and cheerful. They work well together and have made my life so much easier. Couldn't do without them. Lilian Davies

We've been using these gardeners for around two years now, and I honestly couldn't recommend them more highly. They take great care of our garden, regularly cutting the grass, keeping the edges neat, and making sure everything always looks tidy and well maintained. They've also done an excellent job cutting back our trees and bushes, helping to keep the garden under control and looking its best throughout the year. What really stands out is their reliability, attention to detail, and the pride they take in their work. They always leave everything spotless when they're finished. It's such a pleasure having gardeners you can completely trust to do a fantastic job every time. We're delighted with the service they've provided over the past two years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for hardworking, professional, and friendly gardeners.

The guys cut back some very overgrown shrubs and reduced the width of a ridiculously thick privet hedge for me. They were professional, polite and efficient, did a great job and left no mess behind. I’d definitely use them again.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Most hedges are best trimmed in late summer once nesting season is over, though plenty can be tidied at other times. We always check a hedge for active nests before starting.
