FAQs
When is the best time to cut hedges?
Main season: June-September. Avoid cutting March-August if birds nesting (legal requirement). Light trimming OK in spring/autumn. I'll advise based on hedge type and condition.
What do you do with the cuttings?
I remove and dispose of all green waste at authorized facilities. Included in the quoted price - you won't be left with piles of cuttings.
Can you fell large trees?
No - I handle pruning and branch work up to about 15 feet. Larger trees requiring climbing, rigging, or felling should be done by specialist tree surgeons. I can recommend local ones.
Do you do lawn mowing?
Not regular lawn mowing - I focus on hedges, trees, fences, and one-off garden clearances. For regular lawn care, I can recommend local gardeners.
