Hedge trimming & pruning.

Hedge trimming and light pruning control the height, width and shape of established hedges and shrubs. Before work begins, EKO agrees the desired profile, access requirements and how green waste will be handled. Work outside safe access limits, major tree work, regulated vegetation or specialist arboriculture is identified rather than treated as ordinary hedge maintenance.

What you get

  • Controlled growth that improves access, light and presentation
  • A defined height and shape agreed before cutting begins

Trim, reduce or prune?

Expert guidance

Trimming a hedge with a hedge trimmer (stock photo)

A light maintenance trim, a major size reduction and plant-specific pruning are different jobs. EKO confirms the plant condition, desired shape, safe access and realistic amount of reduction before cutting begins.

Best for · Keeping an established profile

Maintenance trim

Fresh growth is reduced to retain the agreed height, width and shape before the hedge becomes difficult to control.

Best for · Access, light and proportion

Height or width reduction

A larger reduction is assessed against plant health, growth habit and what can be achieved without leaving an unacceptable bare result.

Best for · Structure and presentation

Light shrub pruning

Suitable shrubs can be selectively reduced or tidied rather than cut into a formal hedge shape.

Best for · Predictable growth management

Recurring hedge care

A sensible frequency helps preserve the profile and reduces the waste and labour involved in major catch-up cuts.

A few useful answers.

Have a question about your own space?
Tell us what you have in mind.

How much can a hedge be reduced in one visit?

That depends on the species, condition, season and amount of live foliage. A severe cut can expose bare wood or stress some plants, so the safest practical result is confirmed on site.

How tall a hedge can you trim?

Up to about 3 metres. If yours is taller, or the job is really tree work, we'll tell you before we quote.

Is green-waste removal included?

It can be. The quote will state whether clippings and branches are removed, placed in your green bin or handled another agreed way.

Does EKO prune large trees?

Ordinary hedge trimming and light shrub pruning are different from specialist tree work. Large, hazardous or regulated tree work will be identified for an appropriately qualified provider.
