Hedge trimming sits at the heart of Leicester Tree Services’ offerings. Regular maintenance enhances a hedge’s appearance, keeping it neat and visually appealing while allowing customers to shape it to their liking. Trimming also promotes the health of the hedge by removing dead or diseased branches, reducing the risk of pests and infections spreading throughout the garden. Overgrown hedges can block sunlight or encroach on pathways, but with precise trimming, the team restores balance, creating space for diverse landscaping options. Privacy remains a key benefit, as well-trimmed hedges act as natural barriers, offering tranquillity without compromising aesthetics.

Timing plays a critical role in effective hedge trimming, and Leicester Tree Services excels at identifying the optimal periods. Late winter to early spring, typically between late February and early March, proves ideal in the UK. During this dormant phase, plants recover quickly from pruning, and the risk of disturbing nesting birds stays low, aligning with wildlife protection laws. For fast-growing deciduous hedges like beech or privet, a second trim in late summer keeps them dense and structured. Formal hedges requiring precise shapes may need more frequent attention, and the team adjusts schedules based on hedge type and local climate conditions.

The process begins with a thorough assessment, often through a free, no-obligation inspection or by reviewing customer-provided photos or videos. Leicester Tree Services employs guide strings to maintain straight lines, ensuring a uniform finish. Starting with the top for a level surface, the team then trims the sides and ends, using a mix of manual shears and motorized tools for precision. For denser growth, the top is shaped slightly narrower than the base, allowing sunlight to reach lower branches. After trimming, cleanup follows, with options to remove debris, grind branches into wood chips, or leave them for customer use.

Beyond trimming, Leicester Tree Services handles hedge removal when needed, addressing issues like disease, overgrowth, or redesign plans. Safety remains paramount, with pre-job risk assessments and strict protocols minimizing hazards. The team checks for underground utilities before removal and uses machinery like mini excavators to extract roots efficiently, preventing regrowth. All waste is disposed of responsibly, often through composting, reflecting an environmentally conscious approach. With a commitment to customer satisfaction, Leicester Tree Services combines expertise, reliability, and care, ensuring every hedge trimming job enhances both the garden and the property as a whole.
