Hedges are not just green fences; they are living walls that give you privacy, security, cover, and a lovely green background to your garden. Keeping them healthy, thick, and tidy needs frequent and expert hedge trimming. At Jackson's Garden Services, serving Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole, we offer professional hedge trimming services to keep your hedges in good shape at all times, healthy, and an asset to your property.

Why Professional Hedge Trimming Is Required
Correct and regular hedge trimming is important for a number of reasons, much more than aesthetics.

Aesthetics & Definition
Clean, sharp lines and clearly defined shapes instantly add to the neatness and beauty of your garden and give it a groomed, planned appearance.

Promotes Density & Health
Regular hedge trimming encourages new growth, which densifies and strengthens the hedge. It also allows for better air circulation and light penetration, reducing the risk of disease in the hedge.

Maintains Wanted Size & Shape
Hedges, when not trimmed, will promptly grow out of control, invading pathways, obscuring light, or losing their preferred shape. Trimming holds them in their place.

Improved Privacy & Security
A dense, well-designed hedge is excellent for visual screening and can form a substantial barrier.

Promotes Flowering/Fruiting (for some species)
For some hedge plants (e.g., flowered privet, hawthorn), proper pruning at the appropriate time can stimulate more profuse flowering or berrying.

Prevents Overgrowth
Routine upkeep keeps hedges from growing so big and woody that they need severe and possibly harmful cutbacks.

Our Hedge Trimming Services, Customised to Suit Your Requirements
Jackson's Garden Services provides various hedge trimming services, from regular maintenance to extensive makeovers:

Regular Maintenance Trims

Purpose
To maintain hedges in their neat and tidy look and at their required size and shape during the growing season.

Frequency
Usually one to three times annually, depending on the species of hedge (i.e., more often for faster-growing Leylandii than slower-growing yew).

Outcome
Crisp lines, healthy growth, and a consistently smart appearance.

Key Cuts & Restructuring

Purpose
For hedges that have grown too large, hedges which have become too wide, or those which must be cut down significantly in size or reshaped entirely.

Approach
This has to be well planned and executed, typically in stages or at specific times of the year to avoid shocking the hedge. We give priority to the health of the hedge during reduction.

Formative Pruning

Purpose
In young hedges, this means selective cutting in their formative years to promote a strong, dense base and a desired, even shape right from the beginning.

Renovation Pruning (Hard Pruning)
Purpose: For very old, overgrown, or sparse hedges that need a drastic cut back to stimulate new growth from the base.

The Secret to Healthy Hedges
Knowing when to prune is equally as crucial as knowing how to prune. Our professional gardeners take into account:

Hedge Species
Various plants have varying requirements (e.g., evergreen hedges will accept pruning over a longer period than deciduous).

Flowering/Fruiting Cycles
When dealing with flowering or berrying hedges, we make sure that trimming is done at the right time to avoid suppressing the next display.

Bird Nesting Season
We are very wildlife aware. The primary bird nesting season (generally March to August) is left free of major hedge cutting back to safeguard nesting birds, in line with local wildlife policy. Gentle season maintenance trimming is carried out with great caution.

Tools & Safety
Precision is achieved by professional, sharp electric or petrol hedge trimmers and hand shears. Safety is our priority, with the right ladders, platforms, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
