Reasons to Trim Your Hedges Regularly
Hedges aren’t just pretty green fences – they’re living, breathing boundaries. And they need regular attention. Here’s why it’s smart to keep on top of them!
- Health – Trimming gets rid of dead branches and encourages fresh, leafy growth.
- Safety – Overgrown hedges near driveways can block visibility. Keep it clear!
- Looks – A tidy hedge adds instant polish to your property. Better than a new paint job, and cheaper, too.
Think of trimming the hedges like giving them a haircut before their school photos. Nobody wants a scruffy side profile on Google Street View.

What’s the Difference Between Hedge Trimming and Pruning?
Great question!
Hedge trimming means shaping your hedge. We cut the sides and top to make it neat and tidy.
Hedge pruning helps the plant stay healthy. We cut off dead or sick branches so the hedge can grow better.
We often do both at the same time. Your hedge gets to look good and stay strong! Your hedge deserves the full works, not just a short back-and-sides.

Timing Matters: When to Book
In Dunedin, we recommend trimming the hedges in late spring or early summer when growth kicks off. You can also do a tidy-up in late autumn before winter wind rolls in off Otago Harbour.
But honestly? With our climate, we’re trimming all year. If your hedge is going rogue, don’t wait for the perfect season—get in touch and we’ll make it look flash again.

Questions For Our Crew
How often should I trim the hedges?
Most hedges do well with a trim every 3-4 months, depending on the species. Fast growers like privet or leylandii, might need more frequent attention. Especially in growing seasons.
What’s the best time of year for hedge care?
Late spring and early summer are ideal. That’s when your hedge is ready to bounce back. But we can look after you all year-round – because plants don’t keep a calendar.
Will trimming cause damage?
Not with us. We cut using proper technique and sharp, clean tools. No hacking, no scalping, and no damage. Just a beautifully trimmed hedge.
Can you handle tall or hard-to-reach hedges?
Yep! We’ve got the gear and the training to safely trim tall hedges and tight-access areas – even those monster ones around Belleknowes.
Do you take away the clippings?
Yes. We tidy up after every job. We’ll mulch the trimmings or remove them entirely, depending on your preference. Your lawn will look like we were never there – except better.
Can I combine hedge trimming with other services?
You bet. We’re arborists first and foremost, so we can bundle hedge and tree trimming together.
What is hedge stump removal?
Hedge stump removal means taking out the bottom part of the hedge – the stump and roots. E.g. taking the whole shebang out!
