Tonypandy sits in the Rhondda Fawr, where long terraced streets run along the valley side and the back gardens slope away behind them. Hedges up here grow fast in the damp valley air, and a hedge that was a neat green screen last year can be a wall of growth by this one. We trim hedges in Tonypandy and bring them back to a size that suits your garden.
We cut, clear and sweep as part of every visit, so there is nothing for you to carry down the steps. Just tell us how steep the garden is and where the hedge sits, and we will plan the visit around that, with the right kit and the right amount of time.
Many Tonypandy gardens are reached by steps or a narrow back lane, and the hedge may be at the foot of a steep bank. Before we cut, we work out how to reach it safely, where to put the equipment and how to get the waste out. We would rather spend a few extra minutes planning than rush a cut on uneven ground.
Sloping gardens also make it harder to judge the line. A hedge that looks level from above can look wonky from the street. We step back and check as we go, so the finished hedge looks straight from the angle people will actually see it, and the top is even along its whole length. Leaves and clippings can make steps slippery, so we clear as we go.
Rain is no stranger to the Rhondda, and wet ground helps hedges grow quickly through spring and summer. That means regular trimming is worthwhile. A lighter cut once or twice a year is easier on the plant and easier on you than waiting until the hedge has swallowed the path. We can agree a rough routine that suits your garden. Cutting before the hedge is too far gone makes everything simpler.
The woodland on the valley sides also drops seed into gardens below. Sycamore, bramble and ivy can sneak into a hedge and take over the shape. When we trim in Tonypandy we pull out or cut away the unwanted growth, so what remains is the hedge you actually planted, and the next trim goes more easily. It also keeps the garden brighter.
From spring into summer we check carefully for nests in Tonypandy hedges and leave any active ones undisturbed. When the cutting is complete we gather the green waste, sweep the steps and path, and take everything with us. We also cover Trealaw, Penygraig, Llwynypia, Porth and Clydach Vale, so if you live a little further along the valley we can still help.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Tonypandy.

Most garden hedges need cutting once or twice a year, but the right rhythm depends on the plant, the shape you want and the nesting season.
Read the guide →Hedge cutting is priced on the job in front of us, and a handful of practical factors explain why two hedges that look similar can need very different amounts of work.
Read the guide →Some hedges just need a single tidy-up, while others stay manageable only with planned visits, and the right choice depends on the hedge and how you use your garden.
Read the guide →Yes. We carry the green waste out by hand in manageable loads and take it away with us. Mention the steps when you contact us so we plan for the access and the time involved. That way there is no mess left behind on the steps.
In the damp valley conditions, regular lighter trims work better than one big cut. We can look at what you have and suggest how often it needs attention, and tell you honestly if the species is a fast grower.
We can cut the bramble and any ivy out as part of the trim. If the roots are well in, it may reappear, so we will tell you what to expect and how to keep on top of it.
