Shaping your Garden: The Art of Hedge Trimming

At Simpson Arboriculture, we understand the importance of maintaining the natural beauty of your garden. One key aspect of achieving that pristine and tidy look is hedge trimming. More than just a routine task, hedge trimming requires skill, knowledge and a keen eye for detail. In this blog, we will delve into the world of hedge trimming and explore how it can transform your garden.

Hedge Trimming: Benefits Beyond Aesthetics

While the aesthetic appeal of well-trimmed hedges is undeniable, there’s more to hedge trimming than meets the eye. Regular trimming promotes the health and vigour of your plants. Removing overgrown or dead branches encourages new growth, enhances air circulation and prevents disease. Our expert arborists at Simpson Arboriculture not only craft visually appealing hedges, but also ensure the longevity of your hedges through proper care and maintenance.

Hedge trimming: The Science

Hedge trimming is a delicate balance between artistic expression and scientific knowledge. We carefully consider factors such as the type and species of hedge, its growth patterns and appropriate time of year for work to be carried out. Our team at Simpson Arboriculture combine years of experience with up-to-date arboricultural knowledge and skills to create beautiful, trimmed hedges that will continue to thrive for years to come.

Our tools

Our team of arborists will choose their tools carefully to achieve the desired outcome. This will depend on the size and species of the hedge, as well as what the access is like. For example, they may use electric hedge trimmers to achieve an even finish. They may also use pole pruners or long reach hedge trimmers for those trickier to reach places. For larger hedges, the team can use ladders or a MEWP to allow them to work safely at height. The tools and approach always depend on each individual job to ensure both precision and efficiency in the work carried out.

Our skilled arborists bring together the science of arboriculture and the creativity of design to transform your hedges into an important asset of your garden, transforming them with a precise and tidy look.
