Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to trim my hedges?
The optimal time for hedge trimming depends on the species and desired outcome. Generally, late winter or early spring is ideal before new growth begins. However, it’s crucial to check for nesting birds between March and August, as disturbing them is illegal under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
When is the best time to trim my hedges?
The frequency of trimming varies by hedge type and growth rate. Fast-growing species may require trimming 2-3 times a year, while slower-growing hedges might need annual maintenance. Regular trimming promotes dense growth and maintains the desired shape.
What factors influence the cost of hedge trimming or removal?
Costs depend on hedge size, length, height, density, accessibility, and the complexity of the job. Additional factors include waste disposal requirements and regional labour rates. You can contact WDJ Tree Surgeons for a free estimate.
Are there legal restrictions on hedge trimming or removal?
Yes, there are legal considerations. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects nesting birds, making it illegal to disturb them during the breeding season (March to August). Additionally, some hedges, especially those marking boundaries or in conservation areas, may be protected by law. It’s advisable to consult local regulations or seek professional advice before proceeding.
Can I remove a boundary hedge without my neighbour's permission?
Boundary hedges often fall under joint ownership. Removing or altering such hedges without mutual consent can lead to disputes. It’s best to discuss any intended work with your neighbour and obtain agreement before proceeding.
How does hedge trimming benefit the health of my plants?
Regular trimming encourages bushier growth, improves air circulation, and reduces the risk of disease and pest infestations. It also maintains the hedge’s structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
What should I do with the waste generated from hedge trimming or removal?
Proper disposal of green waste is essential. At WDJ Tree Surgeons, we handle all debris responsibly, recycling materials where possible and ensuring your garden is left clean and tidy.
How can I ensure my hedges are trimmed safely and correctly?
Hiring professionals like WDJ Tree Surgeons ensures that hedges are trimmed using the correct techniques and equipment, adhering to safety standards, and complying with legal regulations.
Will hedge trimming affect local wildlife?
Hedges provide habitats for various wildlife species. To minimise impact, it’s important to check for active nests before trimming and consider timing the work outside of the main nesting season. Our team at WDJ Tree Surgeons is trained to conduct assessments to protect local fauna.
How can I prepare my garden for hedge trimming or removal services?
To facilitate efficient work, clear the area around the hedge of any obstacles or valuable items. Ensure there is clear access for equipment and personnel. Discuss any specific concerns or requirements with our team beforehand to ensure a smooth process.
