Hedge Cutting

Hedge Cutting in Sittingbourne, Maidstone and the Nearby Areas

Do you need help keeping your hedge under control? Hedges are an attractive and natural alternative to fencing and walls, but they do require more maintenance. With the right care, hedges will add to the visual appeal of your property and support a range of wildlife, including birds, butterflies and hedgehogs. Maidstone Tree Surgeons Ltd provides a hedge cutting service to help maintain hedges at homes and commercial premises.

Based in Maidstone, we work with customers in Sittingbourne, the Isle of Sheppey and the surrounding areas. Whether you have one small hedge, a long hedgerow or a large property bordered by hedging on all sides, we provide maintenance in line with your needs. We also offer related tree surgery services, including stump grinding.

A full hedge care service

Every hedge has its own pruning needs depending on age, location and present trees and shrubs. Our team assesses the requirements of each hedge to deliver the best solutions. When trimming a hedge, we take care not to remove too much foliage in one season because this can lead to the loss of trees/shrubs within the hedge.

Maidstone Tree Surgeons Ltd also times hedge cutting carefully to maximise its effect and stimulate growth, taking into account bird nesting seasons and flowering periods. Looking at the composition of your hedge, we can determine the best time of year to undertake pruning, which tools and cuts to use and any other required hedge care work.
Our hedge maintenance service also includes:

Planned Hedge Maintenance

Scheduled visits to maintain your hedge throughout the year(s) without hassle.

Professional Equipment

Use of ladders, platforms and extendable hedge trimmers to cut hedges of every size

Improving Aesthetics

Neatening of hedges and reduction of overgrown hedges

Waste Clearance

Clearance of all waste produced to leave your property clean and tidy.

Hedge Removal

In addition, our team can provide hedge removal if you want to remove a hedge on your property. This involves trimming the hedge back to core trunks and cutting them at ground level. We then carry out stump grinding to remove remaining stumps and roots.

Hedge Cutting and the Wildlife and Countryside Act

We will do everything possible to provide hedge maintenance that aligns with your desired schedule. However, there are certain laws we must adhere to, which may mean having to delay hedge trimming at your Maidstone or Sittingbourne property.
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is an offence to deliberately take, damage or destroy a bird’s nest which is active or being built. It is also against the law to purposely destroy eggs or kill, injure or take chicks and adult birds.
Consequently, before undertaking hedge cutting, our tree surgeons will inspect your hedge for signs of nesting birds. If active nests are present, we will wait until after the nesting season to cut your hedge.
