Hedge cutting services in Blacklion

Living in Blacklion, you know the wind blows straight in from the lake and the hedges take a beating. Whether you’ve got a tidy beech line along the main road or a wild mixed hedge around a field, we keep it under control. No messing, no jargon, just a sharp set of blades and a reliable pair of hands. We’re local lads who know what grows here and when to cut it.
Why regular hedge cutting matters in Blacklion

Hedges in Blacklion grow fast in the damp climate. Leave them a year and you’ll be fighting back brambles and ash saplings that choke out the good growth. Regular trimming keeps your hedge thick at the base, stops it going bare-legged, and saves you a bigger job down the line. We cut to a schedule that suits you, once, twice, or three times a season. And if you’ve got trees that need attention too, we also do tree surgery in Blacklion, so you can get both sorted in one visit.

Common questions about hedge cutting in Blacklion
How often should I get my hedges cut?
It depends on the type. Fast growers like leylandii need twice a year, spring and late summer. Slower native hedges can get away with once, after the growing season.
Do you clear away the clippings?
Yes, we include removal in the price. We either take them to a green waste facility or chip them on site if you want mulch. We leave the place tidy.
What if my hedge is very overgrown?
No problem. We’ll tell you honestly if it can be saved or needs replacing. For overgrown ones we might do a heavy cut back first, then a follow-up shape a few months later.
Can you quote over the phone?
We can give a rough idea, but for an accurate price we need to see the hedge, length, height, and access. A quick visit is free and we’ll quote on the spot.
