KIWI Hedge Cutting Fontwell
Maintaining hedges involves more than just enhancing their appearance, as it also involves ensuring the welfare of the environment and its inhabitants. Hedges are defined as lines of shrubs or trees that establish borders or partitions in gardens or landscapes. They present numerous benefits such as providing protection and nourishment for birds and insects, safeguarding the soil and retaining water, accumulating carbon and diminishing greenhouse gases, and contributing to the aesthetic and diversity of the area. However, to preserve their health and usefulness, hedges require periodic trimming or pruning.
When is the best time to trim hedges in Fontwell, West Sussex?
The appropriate time for hedge trimming in West Sussex depends on the hedge’s style and type. However, it is generally recommended to trim hedges between spring and summer when they undergo the most significant growth. Nonetheless, there are certain exceptions and factors to consider. For instance, formal evergreen hedges like box and yew are usually trimmed several times during the growing season to achieve clean lines. Informal flowering hedges such as Escallonia and Viburnum tinus are pruned immediately after flowering to stimulate additional blooms. Deciduous hedges such as hornbeam and beech are trimmed once in late summer to preserve their leaves throughout winter. Trimming hedges that harbor protected or endangered species during the nesting or breeding season (March to August) is prohibited under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981. Hedges that demarcate the limit of a parish, an estate, a manor, a field system, or an archaeological site may be safeguarded by law and require permission before trimming. It is also advisable to avoid trimming hedges during dry weather since this may stress the plants and cause dieback. It is preferable to trim hedges when the soil is damp and the air is humid.

They were polite, friendly, and really helpful throughout the whole process. They arrived on time, carried out the work efficiently, and made sure everything was left neat and tidy. It was a pleasure dealing with such a reliable and hardworking team—I’d happily recommend them to anyone who needs a tree surgeon. Richard Paterson9. September, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional and very experienced tree and hedge services. They cut our hedges and took on a huge diseased Ash at the end of our garden. This was felled in a very restricted area for space and they managed to do the job to a high standard with minimal disruption to the rest of the garden. The clearing up was perfect and communication from Aston was accurate and timely. A very friendly team who clearly know how to manage the biggest of tasks. We would highly recommend them Martin5.
