Tidworth - Hedge Trimming

21 July 2016

Bawden Tree Care were tasked with trimming a number of hedges located around a customer's property in Tidworth.  The hedges were a variety of shapes and sizes, and consisted of a multitude of varieties: Beech, Box, Yew, Hazel and Hornbeam. The Box hedging required an eye for detail; this is because in the past it had been trimmed into very specific shapes, whereas in more recent years, this detail had been lost. However, the Bawden Tree Care team were keen to restore some of the previous uniformity in shape and height.

Contrasting this, the Yew hedging is young and only recently planted, however the customer now wanted to establish a finished height for the hedge at about 1 metre.  Other hedges we more established and merely required programmed annual maintenance, however some were at a height which required the use of a MEWP so that the team could reach the tops of the hedges safely. There were some sections of the Beech hedge which was completely overgrown and cutting the hedge back hard was the only option.  Cutting a hedge back hard is a skilled job, as it is very easy to prune the hedge too hard this can result in harm to the hedge and in extreme circumstances the hedge may fail and die.  As would be expected, the garden was left clean and tidy with all clippings and arisings shredded ready for composting.  

The customer was kind enough to provide the following feedback to the team:"

"Thank you Bawden Tree Care - we are appreciative of the good work completed recently."
