And if you’re further out, we also do garden hedge trimming in Arvagh, so no job is too far.
Overgrown hedges can hide problems like dead wood or pests. We spot those and let you know what’s what. Our goal is a hedge that looks good and stays healthy, cut at the right time of year.
How Often Should You Cut Hedges?
It depends on the hedge type and how formal you want it. Fast growers like leylandii need two or three cuts a year. Slower hedges like beech do fine with one. We’ll advise based on your plants and how quickly they grow in the Blacklion climate.
- Spring: light trim for shape after frosts pass.
- Summer: main cut for fast-growing hedges.
- Autumn: final tidy before winter sets in.
- Winter: only small jobs; birds may be nesting.
