Along with mowing the lawn and pulling up weeds, most conventional gardeners will be quite happy to also trim your hedges, although hedges that are really tall might need looking after by a tree surgeon with the correct safety equipment.

When done properly, regularly trimming a hedge helps keep it strong and healthy, it both stimulates new growth and improves the root system making the hedge denser and better able to resist disease and attacks by pests. And as well as fulfilling the aim it was grown for - form an effective boundary between yours and your neighbours garden, provide shelter from strong winds and give you increased privacy, a vibrant and strong hedge looks prettier.

Hedges that aren't properly cut and maintained are inclined to become top heavy and straggly with unsightly gaps and a lack of growth and foliage, in particular at the bottom of the hedge. Routine trimming will keep your hedges compact and encourage new shoots to fill those unwanted gaps.

Neglected hedges have a tendency to spread outwards, producing sizeable clumps of leafless branches on the inside, and a hedge that occupies much more of the available space in your garden. When you do finally have to clip it back, you'll likely end up with bald unsightly patches, with just a mass of twigs. Once it's got in such a deplorable condition it could easily take many years before it fully recovers, and it may never look the same again.

Do I Need to Cut My Neighbour's Hedge in Sutton-in-Ashfield?

This is quite an interesting question regarding hedges in Sutton-in-Ashfield, and naturally, to a degree, it will be dependent on what sort of relationship you have with your neighbour. In some cases your neighbour will offer to come and cut back your side of the hedge when they're doing their own side of the hedge. Other neighbours will likely not be so thoughtful and will simply leave you to tackle your side. When it comes down to it you are legally entitled to lop off any roots or branches of a hedge which grow onto your garden from a neighbour's property or from a public road, and are causing a problem. You must however only cut them back to your property boundary, given that theoretically, you could be taken to court for damages if you trim them back further than this.
