Leicester Hedge Trimming

Hello and welcome to Leicester Tree Services! We are a local business that has been around for over 20 years, helping people in Leicester and the surrounding areas keep their gardens looking their best. We do all sorts of things like tree care, stump removal, and planting, but what we really enjoy most is hedge trimming. It is something we have gotten very good at over time, and we would love to help you with your hedges. We put a lot of effort into our work because we care about gardens and want your outdoor space to be a place you can enjoy.

Hedges can make a big difference in any garden, and we know how to make them shine. A nicely trimmed hedge does more than just look good. It gives you privacy, keeps pests away, and makes your yard easier to take care of. We have trimmed all kinds of hedges, from little shrubs in backyards to long rows along big properties. No job is too small or too big for us. With the right tools and plenty of experience, we get the work done safely, well, and fast. Our goal is to take the hard part off your hands and leave you with a garden you can feel proud of.

Why Pick Us for Hedge Trimming?

When it comes to hedge trimming in Leicester, we focus on doing things right. After 20 years of doing this, we have learned the best ways to trim and shape hedges. It is not just about cutting branches. We think about how healthy the hedge is, how it looks, and how it fits in your garden. Whether you want a neat square shape or something more natural, we can make it happen. We bring everything we need to do a good job, so you do not have to worry about anything. You end up with a hedge that is tidy, strong, and just what you pictured.

We know that not everyone has the time or tools to trim their own hedges. Maybe you are busy, or maybe you just do not feel like doing it yourself. That is where Leicester Tree Services comes in. We have the equipment and the energy to take care of it for you. There is something special about turning a wild, overgrown hedge into a clean and healthy part of your garden. We are here to save you the trouble and make sure you get a result you will like every time.

Why Trim Hedges Regularly?

Trimming your hedges is not only about keeping them neat. It helps the plants and your whole garden too. Regular trimming keeps the hedge looking nice and lets you shape it however you want. It stops the branches from growing too much and taking over your space. Cutting off dead or sick parts keeps the hedge healthy and stops disease from spreading. It also makes it harder for pests like rodents to hide, which keeps your garden safer and cleaner.

There are even more benefits. Trimming lets sunlight reach the lower branches, so the hedge stays strong all over. In Leicester, hedge trimming is extra important because our hedges grow fast with all the rain we get here. A good trim can clear up your view if the hedge is blocking something you want to see. It also keeps your privacy by making sure the hedge stays thick and tall. If you like flowers, trimming can help your hedge bloom more, adding some color to your yard. It is a simple way to make your hedge last longer and keep your garden easy to manage.

When Is the Best Time to Trim?

Timing matters a lot when it comes to hedge trimming. In the UK, we find that late winter to early spring is usually the best time, around late February or early March. That is when most hedges are resting, so they handle the trimming well and grow back fast. There are fewer bugs and diseases around then too, which means less chance of problems. It is also before birds start nesting, so we stay on the right side of wildlife rules. Trimming at this time gets your hedge ready to grow strong when spring arrives.

Some hedges need a bit more attention though. Fast-growing ones like beech or privet might need another trim in late summer to keep them looking good. If you have a fancy hedge that you want to keep perfect all year, we can trim it more often. Conifers like juniper can handle a trim in spring and summer to stay tight and healthy. It all depends on what kind of hedge you have and what you want it to look like. If you are not sure when to trim, we can help you pick the best time based on your garden and the weather around here.

How We Trim Hedges

Our way of trimming is simple but careful. First, we figure out what you need. You can send us pictures, or we can come by for a free look at your hedge. Once we understand the job, we give you a clear quote with all the details. When we start trimming, we use guide strings to keep everything straight. We usually begin at the top to make it even, then work on the sides to match the strings. For taller hedges, we might add more strings to keep it all level.

We use both hand tools and powered ones, depending on the hedge. We want it to be thick and healthy, with the top a little narrower than the bottom so sunlight can reach everywhere. After we finish trimming, we clean up all the branches. You can keep them, have us turn them into wood chips, or let us take them away. No matter what you choose, we leave your garden looking neat. We also suggest adding a little fertilizer and water afterward to help the hedge grow back strong.

Removing Hedges

Sometimes trimming is not enough, and you need a hedge taken out. Maybe it is old, not healthy anymore, or you want the space for something new. We can do that too. We cut it down, dig out the roots, and make sure it is all gone. We check for pipes or cables underground first so nothing gets damaged. Once it is out, we take care of everything in a way that is good for the environment. It is all about keeping your garden the way you want it.

What Changes the Cost of Hedge Trimming in Leicester?

The price of hedge trimming in Leicester depends on a few things. How tall and long the hedge is makes a big difference. A short hedge takes less time than a huge one. It also matters if you want one side trimmed or both, or if you want the height lowered. The health of the hedge counts too. If it is sick, we might need to be more careful. The type of hedge, how easy it is to get to, and when it was last trimmed all affect the cost. Special shapes like curves or squares take more time and skill, so they cost a bit more.

To give you an exact price, we need to see the hedge or get some pictures from you. After that, we give you a fair quote that is easy to understand. We keep our prices low while still doing top-quality work. Leicester hedge trimming should not cost a fortune, and we make sure it does not.

Safety Is Number One

Safety is a big deal at Leicester Tree Services. Before we start, we check the hedge and the area around it for anything that could be risky. We follow strict rules to keep everything safe while we work. We use the right gear and have insurance just in case. Whether we are trimming or removing a hedge, we make sure the job goes smoothly with no trouble.
