Hedge Trimming Auckland

Hedges back in shape, clippings gone.

Hedge trimming in Auckland is a job for most of the year, because hedges keep putting on growth and a missed trim soon shows. Spruce cuts them back to shape, top and sides, and clears every clipping away. Tell us about yours and we'll send a price.

Trim or cut back

Hedge care for a long growing season.

In Auckland, most hedges need a trim at least twice a year, and fast growers more often. A hedge that's been left usually needs cutting back first. Tell us which yours is.

Maintenance trim

For a hedge that's holding its shape and just needs this season's growth taken off.

  • Tops and sides trimmed
  • Straight lines, level tops
  • Clippings raked from beds
  • Green waste taken away
Two or three a year

Regular hedge care

Trims timed to Auckland's growth, so the hedge stays dense and never swallows the path.

  • After the spring flush
  • Again in late summer
  • A third trim for fast growers
  • Booked with lawns or garden care

Cut back

For hedges that have grown over the drive, into windows or across the footpath.

  • Height and width brought back
  • Shaped to grow back thick
  • Footpaths and windows cleared
  • All the clippings removed
Trimming in Auckland

Trimming for Auckland's growing season.

Hedges here can keep growing from spring right through to autumn. Trims timed to that keep them dense and stop them swallowing paths, windows and the footpath.

Timed to the growth. A trim after the spring flush and another in late summer suits most Auckland hedges. Fast growers may need a third.

Wider at the base. Shaped a little narrower at the top, so light reaches the bottom and the hedge stays thick to the ground.

Nests checked in spring. Birds nest in hedges through spring and early summer, so we look before we cut.

Footpaths kept clear. Frontage hedges cut back off the footpath, so nobody has to duck past them.

Every clipping gone. Raked out of beds, blown off paths and drives, and taken away with us.

What's included

What an Auckland hedge trim includes.

Tops, sides, the frontage and the clean-up after. Anything more while we're there, ask and we'll price it.

Tops: cut level or rounded, whichever suits the hedge.
Sides: trimmed straight and a touch narrower at the top.
The frontage: hedges cut back off the footpath and the drive.
Around openings: gates, windows and letterboxes cut clear.
Underneath: clippings raked out of beds and off the lawn.
Hard surfaces: paths, drives and the footpath blown clear.
Green waste: loaded up and taken away.
A final look: along the line before we go.
Pricing

What hedge trimming costs in Auckland.

A box border in a Grey Lynn front yard and a long pittosporum screen on a North Shore boundary are very different jobs, so we price each hedge. Tell us about yours and we'll send a price before anything's booked.

Length

How many metres of hedge there are.

Height

Tall screening hedges take longer and need more care.

How overgrown

A regular trim is quicker than a hedge that's been left.

Access

Slopes, beds in front and whether we can reach both sides.

Green waste

How much there is to take away.

How often

Two or three trims a year keep each one quicker.

FAQ

Auckland hedge trimming FAQs.

The things Aucklanders ask most about getting a hedge trimmed.

It depends on how long and tall the hedge is, how overgrown it's got and how easy it is to reach. Tell us about it, or text a photo, and we'll give you a price before anything's booked.
After the spring flush, usually late spring or early summer, and again in late summer or early autumn. Auckland's mild winters mean some hedges keep growing, but a hard cut is still best left until spring.
