Seasonal schedule
Each hedge is mapped by species so the right number of trims are booked each year:
Spring
Formative pruning of young hedges and shrubs before nesting season, plus a light feed to support new growth.
Summer
Formal hedges clipped to line, mixed hedgerows reduced, and debris bagged or stacked neatly the same day.
Autumn
Height reductions, thinning for airflow, and final tidy ahead of winter winds to keep hedges compact.
Winter
Structure shaping on dormant species and hard pruning for rejuvenation where the plant can take it.
Shrub care programme
- Pruning plans aligned to whether shrubs flower on current or previous year’s growth.
