Hedge trimming and removal in Windsor
Hedge trimming and removal in Windsor is quoted from the whole hedge, not one close photograph. We agree its length, current size, finished line and access to each face.
Choose a trim, reduction or removal
A maintenance trim follows the established face and removes current extension growth. A reduction moves the top or side to a new agreed line. Removal cuts out the hedge, with stump work stated separately where required. Each result changes the tools, time and amount of material.
A mature evergreen hedge may have little live foliage behind its outer surface. Cutting beyond the green layer can expose bare wood that does not fill quickly. We identify the hedge type, condition and sensible limit before writing the finished height and face into the quote.
Price the full length and route
A tall hedge against an old wall may need a stable platform and a clear strip along its complete face. The far side might belong to a neighbour or meet a public path. Send both ends, the base, current top and all working space rather than one section that is easiest to reach.
Fresh cuttings from a long hedge take more room than the clipped face suggests. Show the passage, gates and corners to the road. Clean-up is included. The quote states how leafy growth and heavier stems will be handled, and whether hedge stumps are staying or need separate work.
Settle boundaries and check for nests
Confirm who owns the hedge and who can authorise work on each face. Woodside does not provide boundary advice, so a dispute over ownership or the new line must be settled before booking. Show hidden fences, wall copings and retained plants that cutters must avoid.
Wild birds, eggs and active nests are protected by law. The actual hedge must be checked rather than relying on a fixed cutting season. An active nest can leave one section untouched or move the work to a later date, regardless of how urgently the hedge needs a trim.
