Hedge cutting is the process of trimming hedges to maintain their shape and size. It is typically done for aesthetic purposes, to keep hedges looking neat and tidy, but can also be done to promote healthy growth and to prevent overgrowth. Hedge cutting requires skill and expertise to achieve the desired results. Proper hedge cutting can improve the health and appearance of hedges, as well as promote privacy and security in outdoor spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Trimming

Find answers to common questions about tree trimming and hiring professional arborists in the UK.

How to prune a tree safely?

Safe tree pruning requires expertise and specialized equipment. It's highly recommended to hire a certified arborist for anything beyond minor pruning. Never attempt to prune trees that are tall, near structures, power lines, or otherwise pose a safety hazard. If you must do some minor pruning, such as cutting off small dead branches, follow these steps:
  1. Use sharp, clean tools: Dull tools can cause tearing or crushing of the branches and increase the risk of disease.
  2. Wear safety gear: Protective clothing, eye protection, and gloves are crucial.
  3. Inspect the tree: Identify the branches that need pruning, such as dead or damaged branches.
  4. Use proper pruning techniques: Make clean cuts, following the branch collar. Don't remove too much of the crown in a single session.
  5. Dispose of the branches responsibly: Chip the debris or dispose of it according to local guidelines.
It is recommended to consult with a qualified arborist for advice on tree trimming.

What is crown lifting/raising?

Crown lifting or raising is a pruning technique where lower branches are removed to increase the height of the crown above the ground. This increases clearance under the tree, beneficial for things like driveways, walkways, buildings, or allowing more light to reach the ground below.

How to tell if tree trimming is needed?

Several indicators can point to a tree's need for trimming:
  • Dead or dying branches: These are a clear sign that pruning is necessary, both for aesthetics and safety. Dead branches can fall unexpectedly.
  • Overgrown branches: Branches that overhang buildings, roads, or power lines pose safety hazards and should be trimmed.
  • Crossing or rubbing branches: Branches that cross or rub against each other can cause damage, creating wounds that are vulnerable to disease and insects.
  • Weak or damaged branches: Branches that are damaged or weak can break easily and should be removed to prevent harm.
  • Unattractive growth: Trees may need trimming to improve their appearance and maintain a balanced shape.
  • Disease or pest infestation: Trimming can help remove infected or infested branches.
It's important to note that some of these indicators might also suggest more serious tree health issues. If you are not sure whether tree trimming is required, consult with a certified arborist for a professional assessment.

How often should I trim my trees?

Tree trimming frequency depends on several factors:
  • Species: Some trees require more frequent trimming than others.
  • Age: Younger trees benefit from more frequent pruning to establish good structure.
  • Health: Diseased trees might need more frequent attention.
  • Growth rate: Faster-growing trees require more regular pruning.
  • Location: Trees near structures or power lines might need more frequent trimming for safety.

A general guideline is to have trees inspected at least every 1-2 years by a certified arborist. They can create a tailored maintenance plan that includes the appropriate pruning schedule.
