Hedge Care & Maintenance

A cherry laurel hedge is best trimmed once or twice a year – in late spring and late summer – to keep its dense, closed form. Thuja needs a gentler touch: when shaping we cut only into the green growth, so no bare patches develop. Beyond trimming, a healthy hedge also needs spring feeding, watering checks during dry spells, and protection against pests and fungal diseases – typically shot hole disease on cherry laurel, and spider mites and shoot dieback on thuja. For neglected, thinning hedges we carry out renovation pruning and an intensive regeneration treatment. We remove all clippings and hand the site back clean and tidy.
