This project in 20 seconds
At this impressive property in Langley, our team carried out a large-scale maintenance project focused on bringing structure back to mature hedges and borders. With extensive trimming, shaping, and general garden care, we restored balance and definition to the garden while keeping the natural beauty of the space intact.
A grand garden in need of attention
The garden at this characterful period property had a wonderful layout, but the scale of the planting meant it needed expert maintenance. The tall hedges had grown dense and heavy, starting to lose shape and overshadow the borders.
The client asked us to:
- Reduce and reshape tall, mature hedges safely.
- Keep borders neat while protecting surrounding plants.
- Ensure the overall look was tidy, balanced, and in keeping with the home’s traditional style.
The work in detail
Working on hedges of this size requires skill, teamwork, and the right equipment.
- Tall hedge trimming: Using ladders and long-reach equipment, we reduced the height and reshaped the hedges, carefully cutting back to allow more light into the garden while keeping the greenery healthy.
- Border care: We maintained the lower planting, including shrubs and flowering plants, ensuring they were not damaged during the hedge work.
- Tidy-up and finishing: All trimmings were cleared and the garden left in a pristine condition, ready to be enjoyed immediately.
Safety and precision were priorities throughout, particularly with the scale of the hedge cutting required.
The finished result
The transformation was immediate.
- The hedges regained crisp definition, enhancing the formal character of the garden.
- The proportions of the space looked balanced again, with borders and pathways no longer dominated by overgrowth.
- The house and garden now work together visually, with neat landscaping framing the property beautifully.
This project is a great example of how regular maintenance at the right scale can completely refresh a garden – not through redesign, but by bringing structure and order back to what’s already there.

It depends on the type of hedge. Most deciduous hedges are best trimmed in late summer, while evergreen hedges can be trimmed in late spring or early autumn. Avoid trimming during bird nesting season (typically March to August) unless you’re sure the hedge is empty.
