KIWI Hedge Cutting Barnham
Hedge cutting is not just a matter of aesthetics, but also a way of caring for the environment and wildlife. Hedges are rows of shrubs or trees that form a boundary or a screen in a garden or landscape. They provide many benefits such as shelter and food for birds and insects, soil protection and water retention, carbon storage and greenhouse gas reduction, and visual appeal and diversity. However, hedges need regular trimming or pruning to maintain their health and function.
When is the best time to trim hedges in Barnham, West Sussex?
The best time to trim hedges in West Sussex depends on the type and style of hedge, but generally, it should be done between spring and summer when hedges experience most growth. However, there are some exceptions and considerations:
- Formal evergreen hedges such as box and yew are usually trimmed several times during growing season to create crisp lines.
- Informal flowering hedges such as Escallonia and Viburnum tinus are pruned immediately after flowering to encourage more blooms.
- Deciduous hedges such as hornbeam and beech are pruned once in late summer to retain their leaves in winter.
- Hedges that contain protected or endangered species should not be trimmed during their nesting or breeding season (March to August), as it is an offence under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981.
- Hedges that mark a boundary of a parish, an estate, a manor, a field system, or an archaeological site may be protected by law and require permission before trimming.
It is also advisable to avoid trimming hedges when the weather is dry, as this can stress the plants and cause dieback. It is better to trim hedges when the soil is moist and the air is humid.

Aston gave excellent advice ahead of the job, turned up exactly when he said he would, and was professional from start to finish. He and his team cut back three large conifers efficiently for a fair price and left everything tidy afterwards. They were polite, helpful, and clearly knew their stuff. I’ll definitely be using them again and highly recommend their services. Barb Chaitoff7. May, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Aston turnt up on time scheduled, he was explaining what he was going to do before starting the task. He completed the trimming of my conifers in quick time, was extremely tidy and polite. John Green4. March, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really pleased with the results of the tree surgery. We had an old apple tree that had grown top heavy and unmanageable. Anton brought it down to a much more shapely tree better suited to its space in the garden. Did exactly what he said he would and took everything away. Thoroughly recommended. Hannah Hills3. January, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
