Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about lawn care? Here are the most common ones we get from Norwich homeowners.

When is the best time to cut my hedges? 
Generally, formal hedges can be trimmed 2-3 times per year (spring, summer, autumn). For wildlife protection, avoid cutting during nesting season (March-August) unless necessary. We’ll advise based on your hedge type.
Do you remove the hedge cuttings?
 Yes — all trimmings are cleared and disposed of responsibly. For smaller jobs, we can use your brown bin or leave a bulk bag (£5 refundable deposit). For larger clearances, we can remove the waste for a separate fee.
How much does hedge cutting cost? 
Because every hedge varies in size, height, and thickness, we don’t use a standard hourly rate for this service. Instead, we provide a fixed price quote after a quick look at your garden. This ensures you know the exact cost before we begin. Waste removal is quoted separately if needed.
Can you reduce overgrown hedges?
Absolutely — we specialise in hedge reduction and rejuvenation pruning. We’ll work gradually to avoid shocking the plants and advise on aftercare to help them recover.
