Shrub beds and hedges
Our service promise:
- Hedges are maintained so that there is no obstruction to footpaths, roads, windows, parking areas and sightlines.
- Encroachment growth on shrubs and hedges is pruned as and when required. Due to bird nesting restrictions between March and September, a full and thorough check is made for nests and work will stop if any are found.
- Hedge reductions and hard pruning is completed between October and February.
- Pruning is carried out in line with best practice for the type of shrub or hedge. In all cases, self-seeded trees, dead, diseased, and damaged material is removed.
- All planted areas are kept free of weeds and litter. Weeds in beds and hedge bases are spot sprayed with herbicide.
- After pruning all cuttings are removed or mulched to the base of the shrubs.
- Shrub beds are edged off as part of programmed winter works for a neat and tidy appearance.
