Tredegar is a hillside town in the Sirhowy valley, and most of its gardens either rise or fall from the street. Hedges around here frame small front plots and run along the boundaries of long, sloping back gardens. When they are left, they thicken, climb and spread. We trim hedges throughout Tredegar and return them to a clean, manageable shape.
We take the clippings with us and sweep the paths before we leave, so you only see the result. Tell us how tall and long the hedge is and we will plan the visit, whether you are on a main street or a quiet back lane. We are used to working on slopes and steps, and we do not hurry the cutting.
On a Tredegar terrace, the front hedge is part of how the whole street looks. When one is allowed to run wild, it spills onto the pavement and hides the window behind it. We cut these back so the width is sensible, the top is level and people can pass without pushing through. It is a quick improvement, and it makes the house look tended.
Where a row of neighbours share a similar hedge, we try to keep the finished height in line with the others if you ask us to. In Tredegar a consistent look along the street often looks better than one hedge standing tall in a row of low ones. It is a small detail, but it is one many customers like. We can match it if you wish.
Back gardens in Tredegar can be long and steep, and the hedge along the side or bottom may be difficult to reach. We check the ground first and set up for the cutting line before we begin. With the right planning, even a tall hedge on a bank can be shaped without damage to the fence, wall or planting next to it.
If the hedge is badly overgrown, we will talk through the options with you. A gentle reduction over a couple of visits often suits the plant better than one drastic cut, especially with conifers. In a town as exposed as Tredegar, a good thick hedge can also shelter the garden from the wind, so we avoid thinning it more than is needed.
Birds nest in hedges across Tredegar through the warmer months. We look before we cut, and we leave any active nest alone until the chicks have gone. Once the trim is done we take all the green waste away and clean up the path and drive. We also work in Ebbw Vale, Rhymney, Sirhowy and Georgetown, and are happy to quote for work in any of them.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Tredegar.

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. Sloping plots are common here, and we plan access, footing and the cutting line in advance. If there is a lot of height difference or narrow steps, tell us beforehand and we will bring the right equipment.
Usually it does. Cutting back the width, levelling the top and clearing the path edge makes a clear difference. We take the clippings away so the street stays neat as well. Most front hedges look neater after a single visit.
For most hedges, little and often is gentler on the plant. Some species take a hard cut well and others, like many conifers, do not. We tell you what suits yours before we start. Wherever possible, we work towards a hedge that is easy to keep.
