Comprehensive hedge trimming for every need
Whether you need seasonal maintenance or a complete hedge renovation, we’ve got you covered. Our service includes cutting back overgrown hedges, shaping formal hedges to exact specifications, removing debris and waste, and providing advice on the best maintenance schedule for your specific hedge types. We work efficiently to minimise disruption whilst delivering results that last.
From evergreen hedges that need year-round attention to deciduous hedges with their own seasonal requirements, our team understands the unique characteristics of each variety. We use professional hedge trimmers that deliver precision results, ensuring the top of the hedge remains level and the sides are cut at the correct angle for optimal growth.

Understanding different hedge trimming and pruning requirements
Not all hedges are the same, and successful hedge maintenance depends on recognising these differences. A box hedge needs careful, frequent trimming to maintain its formal appearance, whilst mixed native hedging benefits from less intensive cutting that allows it to provide habitat for wildlife.
Our team assesses each situation individually, considering factors like hedge height, species composition and your property’s overall appearance. We understand that cutting hedges requires technical knowledge beyond simply running hedge trimmers along the surface. The angle of cut, the timing of work and the amount removed all influence how well your hedges will recover and grow. This expertise means we consistently deliver results that improve your property’s kerb appeal whilst supporting plant health.

Frequently asked questions
Contact Anglian Land Services today to discuss your needs. We’re happy to offer free advice, site visits, and no-obligation quotes.
Most commercial hedges need cutting twice per year to maintain a professional appearance, though fast-growing species like privet or leylandii may require three visits. We create maintenance schedules tailored to your hedge types and desired appearance, ensuring your property always looks well maintained without overspending on unnecessary work.
Absolutely. We specialise in restoring neglected overgrown hedges through careful cutting and reshaping. Depending on the species, we may recommend gradual reduction over multiple seasons to avoid damaging the plants and ensure they recover with healthy, dense growth. Some evergreen hedges can be cut back harder than deciduous varieties, and we adjust our approach accordingly to give you the best possible outcome.
Yes, complete waste removal is included in our service. We clear away all cuttings and debris from both the top of the hedge and ground level, then dispose of them responsibly through our recycling programme. Your site will be left clean and tidy once we've finished the hedge cutting work, with no mess for you to deal with.
The terms are generally interchangeable, though "cutting" sometimes refers to more substantial work on overgrown hedges, whilst "trimming" suggests lighter maintenance cuts. Hedge trimming and pruning work together to maintain shape and promote healthy growth. We provide both services, adapting our approach to suit your hedges' current condition and your requirements, whether that means a light regular trim or more extensive renovation work.
