Hedge Removal in Moray and Aberdeenshire
Hedge Removal Service
Safe hedge removal services are something we’re highly experienced in. As boundary hedges can quickly outgrow their allocated spaces, impeding on roads, parking spaces and gardens. Even buildings and neighbours can be disrupted by unruly hedges.
Out of control hedges can cause all sort of issues, including problems with drains, walls and neighbours. Unfortunately, even regularly trimmed hedges can gradually get bigger over the years. Although many hedges can be successfully renovated. Some (including cypress hedges for instance) are best replaced when overgrown. Sometimes hedge trimming just isn’t enough and hedge or tree removal in Moray or Aberdeenshire can be required by our team to prevent further damage.

Always helping you make an informed decision for the best outcome of the hedge and the space it’s rooted within. Particularly at times when maintenance or hedge reduction is not an option.

Bird nesting season is a limiting factor in hedge removals as they tend to be very popular habitat for nests and wildlife. Unless necessary, we always avoid removing hedges during nesting season. However if your hedge removal cannot wait until nesting season is over, we will conduct full checks of the hedge. Before and during, to ensure no nesting birds are disturbed by our removal activities.
On some occasions hedges can even be protected against removal as part of a conservation area. We can assist with any council liaisons and paperwork, making sure you are fully covered in anything you do.
Of course we also provide hedge stump removal so you can have a completely blank canvas to work with. Removing such a large feature in you garden can be a scary change and we want to ensure that you get a head start on your new garden.
We can also help by advising on potential replacements if you intend to replant. Sometimes the only issue with the hedge can be the choice of initial planted species and a lack of maintenance. Get that first step right and the rest is more easily managed. Our tree surgeons in Aberdeenshire and Moray are here to offer advice and guidance for all of our hedge services.
Just because the hedge doesn’t work in its current form, certainly doesn’t mean a hedge in general is a bad idea.
