Hedge Cutting Services for Cavan Homes and Farms

Hedges need regular cutting to stay healthy and look good. We know that every property in County Cavan is different, from tight garden hedges to long roadside rows. We work with whatever you have, be it beech, privet, or a mixed native hedge. Our team covers all the towns we cover, so you get a local who understands the local growth patterns and weather. No call-out charge, just straight talk and a tidy job.

Tailored Hedge Cutting for Every Property

Whether you need a tight trim on a small garden hedge or a heavy cutback on a farm boundary, we handle it all. We work across residential estates, farm lanes, and commercial sites in the county. We often do hedge cutting in Cavan Town for homeowners who want a neat finish without the hassle. Native hedges get a different treatment to formal ones, we leave enough growth for nesting birds and livestock shelter. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. We look at the species, the time of year, and what you want from the hedge before we start.

Our Hedge Cutting Process

We keep things simple. First we check the hedge for any bird nests or wasp nests. Then we get on with the cut. We use petrol trimmers and hand shears for the fine bits. Clippings go straight into our trailer. Here’s what we do as standard:

• Trim the top and sides to a neat shape
• Lay branches to fill gaps in established hedges
• Cut back overgrowth from paths and roads
• Clear all clippings and leave the site tidy

Hedge cutting — frequently asked

How often should I cut my hedge?

For formal hedges, once or twice a year is enough. Grow hedges need one cut in late summer. Some fast-growing species like leylandii may need three cuts. We can advise on a schedule.

Do you handle thorny or tall hedges?

Yes. We have the gear for high hedges, including a cherry picker if needed. For thorny species like hawthorn and blackthorn, we wear proper protection and cut safely.

What happens to the clippings?

We take them away in our trailer and recycle them. If you have a compost heap, we can leave some for you. Just tell us what you prefer.

Can you cut hedges in winter?

Yes, but we avoid nesting season (March to August) unless it’s a safety risk. Winter cuts are good for reshaping and for species that bleed sap in spring.
