A 4 man team from William Gordon Countryside Services felled 3 trees and reduced the canopy on 2 further trees in my back garden. I am delighted with my garden’s new appearance. These men were clearly very skilled in their work, and the methodical way they completed their task was a joy to witness. They also left my garden spotless. Would not hesitate to recommend this company. Great team, great service, great price - I’m very happy. Tom W

Hedge cutting FAQs – Tunbridge Wells

Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about our professional hedge cutting and maintenance services in Tunbridge Wells.

The frequency of hedge trimming depends on the hedge species and how formal you want it to look. For example, formal hedges such as box, yew or privet may need trimming two to three times a year to keep their crisp lines, while informal hedges such as beech or laurel may only need attention once a year.

Our arborists in Tunbridge Wells will assess your hedge and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps it healthy, neat, and in proportion with its surroundings.

Most hedges are best trimmed between late spring and early autumn, though the timing depends on the type of hedge and its growth rate. We avoid cutting during periods of heavy frost or high heat to protect the plant’s structure.

In Tunbridge Wells, we also take care to check for active nesting birds before any work begins, ensuring all hedge cutting is carried out responsibly and in line with wildlife protection guidelines.

Yes. We carry out professional hedge reduction across Tunbridge Wells to control growth and restore balance to overgrown hedges. Reducing the height or width can improve light levels, make maintenance easier, and enhance the hedge’s overall health.

Our team will advise you on the most suitable method and time of year to achieve the best results for your specific hedge species.

Yes. All waste generated from hedge trimming or removal in Tunbridge Wells is cleared and disposed of responsibly. Smaller material is chipped on site and can be left with you for reuse as mulch, or we can remove it for recycling at a licensed facility.
