What Is Hedge Trimming?
Hedge trimming is the process of cutting and shaping the branches and foliage of hedges or shrubs to maintain their size, shape, and health. It involves using tools like hedge shears, pruning scissors, or hedge trimmers to remove overgrown, dead, or unwanted parts of the plant. Proper hedge trimming not only makes your landscape look better but also ensures the long-term health and structure of your plants.
How often should I trim my hedges?
Most hedges need trimming one to three times a year, depending on the species and desired shape. Formal hedges typically require more frequent maintenance to stay neat and well-defined.
When can I legally trim my hedges?
In the UK, it is illegal to trim or disturb hedges between 1st March and 31st August if doing so risks harming active bird nests, as protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Before carrying out any hedge cutting during this period, it’s essential to check for nesting birds, as disturbing them can lead to prosecution.
