Do you have a hedge that is too big and blocking light, either to your garden or your neighbour’s garden? Is your hedge growing onto the highway and blocking the road or pavement? Whether your hedge needs to be trimmed or removed, Epic Tree Care can help.
We have a range of equipment for trimming high hedges or reducing the height of a hedge. Where necessary we can remove a hedge. As well as removing the hedge stumps so you can plant a different species of hedge or put up a fence.

Our Range of Hedge Services in Aberdeenshire
The primary services we offer to our customers in Aberdeenshire and adjacent areas, include the following:
- Hedge Trimming – A well-kept hedge is an asset to any residential or public garden but one that is growing out of control can be both an eyesore and a source of future problems. If you don’t have the time or tools to take care of your garden hedges, let the team at Epic Tree Care do it for you. We have years of experience and come fully equipped for all eventualities.
- Hedge Reduction – When regular trimming fails to keep a mature hedge in check, more drastic action may be required. Our hedge reduction service is designed to help people with out-of-control hedges to get them back under control, without causing any lasting damage in the process. As some species are more amenable to this procedure than others, we suggest a site visit before making any concrete plans. As with all our hedge services in Aberdeenshire, our reduction service is available to domestic, commercial and public sector customers.
- Hedge Removal – When larger hedges start to outgrow their surroundings and threaten to damage nearby buildings, complete removal is often the most practical solution. There are also cases where hedges in open spaces that have grown out of control cannot be saved, with removal being the preferred option in these cases too. We will always try to save a hedge if possible but some species are simply unable to recover from a hedge reduction procedure so we recommend removal as a more practical, long-term solution for these situations.
- Hedge Stump Removal – After a hedge has been removed, stumps and root systems are left behind in the ground. Over a period of many years, these stumps and roots may naturally decay but if you want a faster solution, the best one is our hedge stump removal service. This service is performed by specialists, using state-of-the-art stump grinding machinery. Once they have finished, all that will be left is a nutritious mulch that will enrich the soil in the vicinity.
We also provide hedge and hedgerow survey & inspection services, principally to forestry organisations and commercial clients in the area but also to private individuals when required. Whatever your specific requirements may be, you are always welcome to call for more details about our hedge services in Aberdeenshire. We will be happy to answer any questions that you have and to prepare a quotation if requested.

Testimonials
Trevor Bower2024-06-24I 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.Gale Solomon2024-06-13Great service with good tidy up, helpful and friendlyRosemary Carroll2024-06-04I recently bought a new home that had very tall, very unkempt hedges and a few rotten and self-seeded trees. Clive and Elaine's team were amazing from start to finish. Elaine came out to assess the job first and I told her my budget. She worked with it to get the maximum amount of work from it, and gave a timescale for the job to be completed by. The team appeared on time at the job and were polite, happy and very informative. They went over the job list to make sure I was happy. Then they got to work. Everything was done to an incredibly high standard. The equipment itself was very impressive. The professionalism of the team was really lovely to see. They even paused at regular intervals to tidy up around them! After they were finished, apart from a couple of pieces of twig that the wind caught, there was no evidence of them having been there! Three trees, one huge laurel type hedge cut back and a whopper of an evergreen hedge completely removed, roots and all, and all done in one day... An absolutely brilliant team. I won't need you again probably, but if I did I wouldn't hesitate to call, and I'll happily recommend you all day long. A trusted and reliable team and a truly epic service, thank you guys!Debra Whelband2024-05-23This company is to be commended! They have all the necessary equipment to make the project as seamless as possible, not to mention the safety gear provided to the staff. Jason was calm, polite and very approachable. Nothing was a problem. They removed a mature Sycamore in poor condition to a habitat stump for the birds and a Crown raise and sympathetic thin of mature Elm tree, which now looks amazing. I enquired about keeping the chippings from this tree and Jason advised to keep it if I had a place to spread it as hard wood timber makes great mulch. Be aware you need to leave it for 12 months if you want to used it around flowers/plants etc. They worked seamlessly and left the place immaculate. Considering the amount of shrubbery this was no mean feat. The costing was very reasonable and to my mind money well spent. Your business model is great!Lisa Rose2024-05-08Very efficient and professional service,excellent communication and friendly staff. Would highly recommend Epic Tree care.Alistair Law2024-05-01excellent advice delivered by a very nice and pleasant and knowledgeable young girlJulia Wright2024-04-02Epic Tree Care have pollarded our big sycamore. They have done an excellent job, very quick and so careful of the surroundings that nothing in the garden was damaged despite the tree being surrounded by borders, sheds and garages. Thank you, guys and thank you, Elaine for the excellent customer service, it has been a good experience from the beginning to the end.Lee Halsall2024-03-20Efficient , professional and affordable . They have the right equipment to carry out any felling and trimming leaving hardly a trace that they’ve been .A Webster2024-02-22Big thanks to Epic Tree Care for their exceptional service in removing a tree and stump from my garden. Their professionalism, efficiency, and tidy work were top-notch. Highly recommend their skilled team for anyone in need of tree services!Rhona Watson2023-11-05Carefully assessed the work to be done and promptly quoted. Agreed dates for the work to be done and came when they said. Carried out the work exactly as agreed. Team was organised and hard working. Tidied up well once the work was completed. I was particularly impressed with the stump removal and the care taken to make sure I was happy with the finished shape of the trimmed trees. Cost seemed high until I saw how many workers were in the team, what work was actually involved, how much wood had to be disposed of and the amount of equipment involved. I was completely satisfied with the work done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
