Hedge trimming in Crediton.
Garden hedging and proper field-boundary hedgerow: two different jobs, both covered.
Hedge trimming in Crediton
A lot of Crediton boundaries are real hedgerow rather than garden hedge: mixed native, hawthorn and blackthorn, grown up over years, marking a field edge rather than a plot line. That wants cutting back hard in the right season, not trimming to a neat box, and it is closer to clearance work than to hedge trimming.
Mature garden hedges in the town are more conventional but often taller than the equivalent in the city, and have usually had several different people cutting them over the years. Getting them back to a consistent line sometimes takes two visits rather than one.
Season matters more here than anywhere. Native hedgerow is nesting habitat through spring and summer, and the heavy work belongs in the back end of the year.
Common questions
Hedge trimming in Crediton: common questions.
Can you cut a field-boundary hedgerow?
Yes, that is brushcutter and hand-saw work rather than a hedge trimmer, and it is quoted as such.
When can hedgerow be cut?
Late summer through winter for anything likely to hold nesting birds. We would rather book you in for the right window than cut at the wrong time of year.
My hedge is uneven after years of different gardeners. Can that be fixed?
Usually, though it can take two seasons to get a tall, inconsistent hedge back to a clean line without cutting into wood that will not regrow.
