Regular hedge maintenance keeps boundaries manageable and helps avoid severe cutting later. We work on domestic hedges, estate boundaries, commercial sites and larger roadside or field hedges across Jersey.

Hedge work

  • Routine trimming to maintain shape and density
  • Height and width reduction where a hedge has outgrown its space
  • Face cutting and clearance from paths, roads, buildings and services
  • Phased renovation of older or overgrown hedges where appropriate
  • Removal and processing of cut material as agreed

Planning a reduction

Different hedge species respond differently to hard cutting. Before recommending a reduction, we consider the species, age, condition and amount of live growth available. A staged approach may give a better result than trying to achieve the full reduction in one visit.

Timing also matters. Work is planned around access, nearby users and signs of active wildlife. Larger hedges may require a platform, tractor mounted equipment or traffic management.

Contact Tree Matters for a one off hedge reduction or a planned maintenance programme.

Frequently asked questions

Most hedges require trimming 2-3 times a year, but it depends on the species and growth rate.

Usually, yes. The safe amount of reduction depends on the hedge species, age and condition. We will recommend a realistic height and whether the work should be completed in one visit or phased.

We can remove and process the trimmings as part of the work, or leave suitable material on site for composting or habitat use when requested and practical.

Yes. We maintain and reduce large hedges for commercial properties, estates and public spaces, selecting suitable access equipment and machinery for the site.

Pricing depends on the hedge’s length, height, width, access, condition and how the arisings are handled. We provide a written quotation after assessing the work.
