Hedges are excellent natural boundaries
Hedges provide a natural, robust and impenetrable boundary. They blend seamlessly into the landscape, whilst maintaining the security of your site. Well-planted thick hedging can be very difficult to scale and acts as a good deterrent to the casual intruder, without looking aggressively hostile, as some steel fencing can do. Different sites require different fencing, but it is always worth considering hedging when planning the fencing on your site. If you are considering hedging, or already have hedges, you will need a hedge trimming service.
We follow good hedge trimming practices
In general, it is good practice to have your hedges trimmed 2 to 3 times a year. It does depend on which hedging plants are growing, as some have a quicker growth rate than others. We trim hedging following The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Countryside Right of Way Act 2000 to ensure that we do not overly disrupt nesting birds and wildlife, so will take this into account when we plan the timings of trimming your hedges through the year.
Hedge trimming keeps people safe
It is particularly important to trim a hedge where it is situated beside a public right of way, or around a road junction. You must keep public rights of way accessible and allowing it to overgrow and restrict access can result in action being taken against you. Where a hedge is near a road junction, for example, your employees pulling out onto a road from your company car park, the hedge must be trimmed so as not to restrict the visibility. Overgrown hedging in a car park can also damage cars, and exude an atmosphere of neglect.
Healthy hedges are good for us all
Maintaining your hedging is important for the wildlife in and around cities and towns that rely on hedges, trees, gardens, and green spaces to survive. Creating ecological balance around us, promotes wildlife diversity, from birds to hedgehogs. We are all part of the ecosystem, we can all co-exist in harmony.
