What We Do for Hedge Trimming in Kilcogy

We handle all types of hedging: formal, informal, conifer, native, and ornamental. We cut to shape, reduce height, and clear the clippings away. If your hedge is overgrown or has thicker branches, we can also tackle that, we offer tree surgery in Kilcogy for the bigger jobs. For customers along the N87 heading west, we also do garden hedge trimming in Swanlinbar. Every job gets a quote upfront, and we agree the finished look before we start.
We bring petrol trimmers, hand shears for finer work, and a chipper if there’s a lot of waste. You don’t have to bag anything. We load it all and take it to the recycling centre. That’s part of the service.
How Often Should You Trim Your Hedges?
One trim a year is the minimum for most hedges, but twice keeps them really smart. We reckon once in late spring and once in early autumn works best for Kilcogy weather. New hedges need more frequent shaping in the first couple of years. We’ll advise you when we see them.
- Formal hedges: trim twice a year for crisp lines
- Native hedgerows: trim every other year, avoid nesting season
- Conifer hedges: trim once a year, never into old wood
- Overgrown hedges: we can reduce gradually over two seasons
