Hedge trimming in Falkirk and Stirling

A hedge that has been left for a season or two can quickly take over a garden. It blocks light, crowds paths and pavements, and makes the whole property look untidy. Our hedge trimming service gets it back into shape.

We cut the top and sides to a clean, even line, tidy the base and clear every cutting away. Recent jobs include a hedge transformation in Menstrie and hedge cutting in Carronshore, both left neatly shaped and completely cleared up.

Cutting back tall and overgrown hedges

Conifer and leylandii hedges grow fast and can get very tall. If yours has got out of hand, we can bring down the height and cut back the sides so it is easier to look after from then on.

Some very overgrown hedges are best reduced in stages rather than all at once, so they recover well and stay green. Duncan will look at the hedge and tell you what will work best before any cutting starts.

Tree pruning and reduction

Trees that have outgrown the garden can block light, hang over roofs or neighbours’ gardens, and drop branches in strong winds. We prune back overhanging and crossing branches and reduce trees that have simply got too big.

A recent job in Bonnybridge was a big tree reduction and tidy-up, with the trees cut back and the whole garden left neat afterwards. We also did tree pruning alongside the hedge cutting in Carronshore.

Stump removal

Once a tree has been taken down, the stump is often left behind. We cut stumps down low and clear the area, so the space can be used again for lawn, borders or paving.

Hedges, trees and nesting birds

All wild birds’ nests are protected by law in Scotland while they are being built or in use. NatureScot advises checking for nests before any major garden work, and the risk is highest through spring and summer. If an active nest is found, that part of the hedge or tree should be left until the young birds have gone, so it is worth planning big cuts for late summer or autumn.

Hedge trimming & tree work questions

When is the best time to cut a hedge?
Late summer and autumn are usually best for a proper cut, once the main bird nesting season has passed. Light trims can be done at other times of year, but any hedge cut in spring or summer should be checked for active nests first.
Can you make a tall hedge shorter?
Yes. Tall hedges, including conifers and leylandii, can be reduced in height and cut back at the sides. Very overgrown hedges are sometimes best reduced in stages so they recover well. Duncan will talk you through the options when he sees it.
Do you take the cuttings away?
Yes. All hedge cuttings, branches and green waste are cleared and taken away with us on every job, so you are not left with a pile of cuttings or bags to get rid of.
Are you tree surgeons?
No. We do hedge trimming, tree pruning, tree reduction and stump removal for domestic gardens. Very large trees or specialist felling need a qualified tree surgeon, and Duncan will tell you straight away if your job falls into that category.
