Tall, Overgrown and Hard-to-Reach Hedges

Most of the hedges we are called to are the ones a homeowner with a ladder and a hedge trimmer cannot safely do any more: boundary hedges well above head height, hedges along a pool fence or on top of a retaining wall, and the ones that have been left a few seasons and are now leaning over the drive. Tall hedges are cut level along the top and straight down the faces, so they read as a clean line from the house and from the street.

Bringing an overgrown hedge back

A hedge that has got away can usually be brought back into shape, but not always all the way in one visit. Cutting hard into bare, leafless wood suits some species and kills others, so on a badly overgrown hedge we will tell you what can come off now and what is better left for a second trim once it has regrown.

Shaping and clipped shrubs

Domes, balls and clipped specimen shrubs are trimmed to hold their shape, along with the low edging hedges in front of them.

The clean-up

Hedge trimming makes more mess than people expect. The clippings are raked out of the garden beds, off the lawn and out of the gutters of the drive, then taken away - you are not left with a pile of green waste to deal with. If you share a driveway, we keep it clear for the neighbours while we work.

Which hedges we trim

All the common Auckland hedging - griselinia, pittosporum, lillypilly, photinia, ficus, murraya and buxus among them - plus conifer hedges and mixed boundary plantings.

Hedge Trimming Reviews

Really impressive business to deal with. Prompt response to enquiry and Gary came around to quote within a couple of days. Really good price to trim some tall, mature hedges and clean out old dead smaller trees. Gary did a great job of trimming and removing, included a few extra tidy ups while he was at it and left the place nice and tidy. Highly recommended.

JohnNoCowboys, July 2025

Very easy to deal with. Gary and the team did a great job trimming trees and very overgrown hedge. Site left clean and tidy. Consideration shown to our neighbours as we share a drive. Would highly recommend.

RoyNoCowboys, February 2025

Awesome guys - Gary and Ryan did a fabulous job quickly and efficiently trimming all our hedging and hard-to-reach tall shrubs. Well done and recommend to anyone. Gary was always in touch as the bad weather kept postponing the job but all sorted now - thanks.

Hedge Trimming Questions

How often should a hedge be trimmed?

Most Auckland hedges look their best with one or two trims a year, and fast growers more. Regular light trims keep a hedge dense right to the ground; long gaps between heavy cuts are what leave hedges thin and bare at the bottom. We can put you on a regular schedule.

Can you cut down the height of a very tall hedge?

Usually, yes. How far it can come down in one go depends on the species and how much foliage is left below the cut - we will tell you when we look at it.

Do you take the clippings away?

Yes. All the trimmings are removed and the area is cleaned up once the job is done.

Can you remove a hedge completely?

Yes - the plants are cut out, chipped and taken away, and the stumps and roots can be ground out so the line can be replanted or fenced. See site clearance and stump grinding.
