Hedges — common questions
- When is the best time to cut a hedge?
- Most hedges are best cut in late winter or after the main summer growth. We avoid cutting during peak bird-nesting season (March to August) where birds are present — it's both good practice and the law.
- Can you reduce a very overgrown hedge?
- Usually yes. Some species (like beech and laurel) respond well to hard reduction; conifers need a more careful approach. We'll tell you honestly what your hedge can take and stage the work if needed.

The short answer: most hedges are best cut in late winter or after summer growth — and between March and August you need to check for nesting birds first.
