Hedge Reduction Services

Hedge reduction services can greatly impact health and character. Pruning and hedge trimming carried out correctly can prevent and manage dieback or dead patches. Encouraging density of growth and slow the creeping in size. Realistically most informal hedges are trimmed once a year. However this is often not sufficient to fully maintain hedges sizes. To keep them at a standstill a formal hedge can be trimmed 2 or even 3 times a year. Yet this is not always possible or financially practical, even once a year is not always managed. Which can lead to them getting out of control and in need of removal. Like all hedge and tree removal, this can be time consuming and more costly than annual maintenance.

Some species can be heavily reduced back to desired sizes and will recover, others with the same treatment will be permanently damaged and never look like a hedge again. Having a full working knowledge of the species you are dealing with can have a huge impact on how you manage your hedges. Epic Tree Care our experienced tree surgeons in Aberdeenshire and Moray can help with determining when a hedge is salvageable. Or if it’s a lost cause and therefore hedge removal is necessary.

When hedges can be recovered by a hedge reduction, it is important to get the dimensions right for your long-term management. Epic Tree Care work hard to make sure all our customers are provided with the best tree advice in Moray and Aberdeenshire. Supporting you in making an informed decision that ensures your hedge and garden flourish.

Hedge Reduction Moray

Significant reductions are limited by bird nesting season. Due to the density of growth and excellent cover of hedge, it’s prime nesting space. Meaning we usually arrange to complete these works out with this time. If necessary and the hedge cannot wait, we would ensure a full nest inspection is carried out. Before, and during removal to ensure no nesting birds are disturbed by these hedge reduction activities.

Any hedge pruning work has seasons which suit your hedges species better than others. So this will also be considered by our tree surgeons in Moray and Aberdeenshire when any arrangements are made.

  This is the second time we have used Elaine and her workers for tree work in our garden. As before we found them to be throughly professional and friendly. Elaine herself came round to praise the job beforehand and offered some constructive advice on how to best proceed  with the work.
We are very pleased with the work done and would totally recommend the company for their skill and commitment.

  I needed to thin an overcrowded small copse at the bottom of my garden. I am so glad I chose Epic Tree Care, as right from the beginning with the visit from Elaine to advise what the best solution would be, to the work being carried out by Jason and his team everything was excellent. The  friendly men on site worked professionally and efficiently and with care to avoid any unnecessary damage to remaining trees and fences. They left the site clean and tidy, overall a pleasant experience. I would strongly recommend this company.
