Perry's Garden Maintenance

Services

Hedge cutting

Precise hedge trimming, shaping and seasonal care.

Hedges give a garden privacy, shelter and structure, but they need regular attention to stay tidy. I trim, shape and maintain hedges of all sizes across Wisbech and the surrounding villages.

What my hedge cutting service includes

Precision trimming

Neat, even lines that keep a hedge looking sharp and well kept.

Shaping & design

Forming decorative shapes or keeping a classic boundary, cut to the line you want.

Seasonal maintenance

Well-timed cuts through the year that keep hedges dense, healthy and in shape.

How I work

  1. Consultation and inspection — the species, and your preferred shape and height.
  2. Precision trimming — with professional tools for a uniform finish.
  3. Optional shaping — topiary and decorative forms where you want them.
  4. Clean-up and disposal — all clippings cleared and taken away.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to cut hedges?

Most hedges do best trimmed in late spring and again in late summer, though it varies by species. I'll advise on the right timing for yours.

Will you clear away the cuttings?

Yes — I remove all the clippings and leave your garden clean and tidy.

Problems I am asked about

Straight answers to the questions that usually come before a hedge cutting job.

Why is my conifer hedge going brown?

Brown patches on a conifer hedge are usually cypress aphid, a trim made too late in the year, drought or waterlogging, or a cut that went back into old wood. The RHS says conifers other than yew have little or no ability to regrow from old wood, so brown areas caused by hard cutting will not green up again.

How much does hedge trimming cost?

Checkatrade's hedge trimming guide, updated June 2026, puts the average at £90 per hour, with a range of £60 to £120, rising to £100 to £140 per hour where climbing or access equipment is needed. Removing a hedge is priced per job: £100 to £250 for a small hedge of 2 to 4 metres, and £250 to £400 for a large one.

Can I cut my hedge in summer or is it illegal?

Cutting a garden hedge in summer is legal. What is illegal, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, is intentionally damaging or destroying a wild bird's nest while it is being built or used, and gov.uk lists an unlimited fine and up to six months in prison per offence. The RHS puts the nesting season at March to August, so I check every hedge for active nests before I cut in those months and hold off if I find one.
