What Our Hedge Cutting Service Includes
Our hedge cutting service covers every step, from the initial assessment through to the final clean-up. We begin by inspecting the hedge and discussing the result you’d like, this could mean lowering the height, squaring off the edges, rounding the corners, or simply giving it a tidy-up to restore its shape. Whether we’re working in a compact garden in Roselands or a larger property in Meads, we tailor our approach to suit the space and the needs of the hedge. Once agreed, we trim evenly across the top and sides, keeping the lines consistent while ensuring paths, driveways, and garden features remain accessible.
Experienced With a Wide Range of Hedge Types
At Troy’s Trees, we work with all common hedge species found in Eastbourne gardens and green spaces. Fast-growing hedges like leylandii and laurel are tackled with specialist equipment to control height and density, while finer hedges such as box or yew are shaped with a more refined approach. We also regularly cut deciduous hedges like beech and hornbeam, which respond well to seasonal shaping. Our knowledge of how each plant grows means we can cut in a way that supports regrowth, reduces gaps, and keeps the hedge strong and healthy for years to come.
Why Regular Hedge Cutting Is Important
Using a hedge cutting service in Eastbourne isn’t just about appearance, it’s a key part of garden maintenance that affects safety, privacy, and the long-term health of your plants. Regular trimming helps prevent hedges from encroaching onto driveways, pavements, or neighbouring properties, and allows more natural light to reach your garden. In areas like Upperton or Old Town, where gardens can be more established or enclosed, this can make a noticeable difference to the feel and function of outdoor spaces. Keeping hedges in good shape also reduces the risk of problems such as hedge collapse, dieback, or gaps caused by unchecked growth.
Wildlife-Conscious Care
We always take care to carry out hedge work outside of the nesting season where possible and follow best practices to avoid disturbing wildlife. In greener parts of Eastbourne, such as the fringes of Langney or near Shinewater Park, hedges often provide vital shelter for birds and small animals, making timing especially important. By working at the right times of year, we encourage healthier regrowth while minimising environmental impact and supporting the local ecosystem.
