When is the best time to cut hedges?

Most formal hedges are best cut in late winter and again in late summer, outside peak nesting. We'll advise per species when we quote.

Hedge Trimming & Maintenance in Swanage

From box hedges to 30-foot leylandii, cut properly and cleared completely.

We maintain everything from formal garden hedges to farm and roadside hedgerows: routine trims, hard reductions to bring an overgrown hedge back under control, and cyclical maintenance rounds for commercial sites and holiday parks.

Working in Swanage

Just over the hill from our Wareham base, Swanage is home ground for Heartwood. We carry out tree surgery, stump grinding, hedge reductions and emergency storm work across the town, from Herston to Ballard Down.

Much of Swanage sits within conservation areas where tree works need six weeks' notice to Dorset Council. We check every address and handle notifications for you.
