Herring Plenty of hedges are perfectly manageable with a pair of domestic trimmers and a Saturday afternoon. Others clearly aren't — and it's worth recognising the difference before you're halfway up a ladder.
Signs it's time to call a professional
- The hedge is taller than you can safely reach from the ground or a domestic ladder
- Substantial access equipment would be needed to reach it properly
- It's a large conifer or Leylandii hedge that's grown well beyond a manageable size
- The job would generate more waste than you can reasonably deal with yourself
- There's a boundary dispute or uncertainty over responsibility for the hedge
Beyond a certain size, hedge cutting stops being about having sharp enough shears and starts being about safe access, the right equipment and dealing with a significant volume of waste — all things a professional team handles as standard.
