Hedge Trimming NZ
Sharp hedges, no clippings left behind.
Hedge trimming is easy to put off until the hedge is blocking paths, windows and the view from the street. Spruce trims it back to shape, top and sides, and takes every clipping away. Tell us about the hedge and we'll send a price.
From a light trim to a proper cut back.
Most hedges need a trim once or twice a year to hold their shape. Some have been left long enough to need cutting back. Tell us which yours is.
Maintenance trim
For a hedge that's in shape and just needs the new growth taken off.
- Tops and sides trimmed
- Lines kept straight
- Clippings cleared from beds and paths
- Taken away when we go
Regular hedge care
A trim at the right points in the year, so the hedge stays dense and never gets away.
- Timed to how the hedge grows
- Keeps it thick at the base
- Booked with a lawn or garden visit
- Clippings taken away
Cut back
For a hedge that's lost its shape or grown into paths, windows or the drive.
- Height and width brought back
- Shaped so it recovers
- Paths and windows cleared
- All the green waste removed
Straight lines, healthy hedges.
A good hedge is slightly wider at the bottom than the top, cut at the right time and cleaned up properly. That's the job.
Wider at the base. Hedges are shaped a little narrower at the top, so light reaches the bottom and it stays thick all the way down.
Cut at the right time. Most hedges are trimmed after the spring flush and again in late summer. We'll suggest the timing for yours.
Nests checked first. Birds nest in hedges in spring and early summer, so we look before we cut.
Safe heights only. We cut what we can reach safely from the ground or a ladder. If a hedge is taller than that, we'll tell you before anything's booked.
Every clipping cleared. Clippings raked out of beds, blown off paths and taken away.
What a hedge trim includes.
Every trim covers the hedge, the lines and the clean-up. If there's more you'd like done while we're there, ask and we'll price it.
What hedge trimming costs.
Hedges are priced on the job: how long, how tall and how overgrown. Tell us about yours and we'll send a price before anything's booked.
Length
How many metres of hedge there are.
Height
Taller hedges take longer and need more care to cut safely.
How overgrown
A regular trim is quicker than a cut back.
Access
Beds in front, slopes, and whether we can reach both sides.
Green waste
How much there is to take away.
How often
Hedges trimmed twice a year are quicker each time.
A photo of the hedge, with something in it for scale, helps us price it faster.

Boundary hedges
Long runs along fences and road frontages, trimmed on both sides where we can get to them.
Box and low borders
Low borders and formal edging, cut to clean, crisp lines.
Privacy screens
Tall screening hedges kept dense without losing height.
Overgrown hedges
Hedges grown into paths, over drives or across windows, brought back to shape.
Getting ready to sell
Sharp hedges and a tidy frontage before the listing photos. Pairs well with a pre-sale clean.

Hedges brought back into line between tenants or before a final inspection. Book it with an end-of-tenancy clean.
