Can a badly overgrown hedge be brought back into shape?

In most cases yes, though a severely overgrown hedge sometimes needs more than one visit to reduce it gradually rather than cutting back too hard in one go.

How often does a hedge need trimming to stay looking neat?

It depends on the type of hedge and how fast it grows, but most hedges benefit from trimming every couple of months during the growing season.

Is there a risk of killing a hedge by cutting it back too far?

Cutting back too aggressively in one go can stress some hedge types, which is why a heavily overgrown hedge is often reduced gradually over more than one visit instead.

Hedge Trimming & Shaping Done Properly

A hedge that's left to grow unchecked quickly loses its shape and starts taking over more space than it should.

If a hedge has actually grown into a small tree and needs taking out altogether, our tree removal team can handle that instead. Whatever shape or size you're working with, the result is a neat, even finish.
