Frequently Asked Questions — Large Hedge Cutting Cardiff
What is the best time of year for large hedge cutting in Cardiff?
The ideal times for large hedge cutting are late spring (May–June) after the first flush of growth, and again in late summer (August–September). Avoid cutting during nesting season between March and August where birds are actively nesting, as this is protected under UK wildlife law.
How tall a hedge can you cut safely?
Our qualified tree surgeons are fully trained and equipped to cut hedges of any height safely. We use professional-grade ladders, elevated work platforms, and long-reach cutting equipment to tackle even the tallest Leylandii and Laurel hedges found across Cardiff properties.
Will you remove the clippings and green waste afterwards?
Yes, absolutely. HJ Tree & Hedge Maintenance offers full green waste removal as part of our service. We load all cuttings and debris and dispose of them responsibly. Just let us know when booking if you would like waste removal included and we will factor this into your quote.
Can a very overgrown hedge be saved and reshaped?
In most cases, yes. Many species including Privet, Laurel, and Yew respond well to hard cutting back and will regenerate strongly. However, Leylandii should not be cut back into old brown wood as it will not regrow. Our team will advise on the best approach during your free survey.
Are you insured to carry out large hedge cutting work in Cardiff?
Yes, HJ Tree & Hedge Maintenance carries full public liability insurance covering all hedge cutting and tree surgery work we undertake. You can have complete confidence that your property and our team are fully protected throughout every job, no matter the size or complexity.
Do I need to get permission before cutting a large hedge?
In most cases, no planning permission is needed to cut a hedge on your own property. However, if your property is in a conservation area, or if trees have Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), restrictions may apply. We can advise you on any potential concerns during your free site assessment.
How often should a large hedge be cut each year?
Most large hedges benefit from cutting once or twice a year to maintain a neat shape and manageable size. Fast-growing species like Leylandii may require cutting two to three times annually. Our team can recommend the right maintenance schedule to keep your hedge healthy and looking its best.
