Hedge Trimming vs. Hedge Pruning
While often used interchangeably, trimming and pruning serve different purposes in landscape maintenance.
Hedge Trimming
Trimming focuses on maintaining the outside shape and size of the hedge. It involves cutting back the new, soft growth to create clean lines, straight tops, and neat sides. Trimming is primarily done for aesthetics and to maintain boundary clearance.
Hedge Pruning
Pruning is a more selective process focused on the health and structure of the plant. It involves removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches deeper inside the hedge to improve airflow and sunlight penetration. Pruning helps prevent disease and encourages dense, healthy regrowth.

Brighton Hedge Trimming FAQs
How often should hedges be trimmed in Brighton?
Most hedges in Brighton benefit from trimming two to four times each year. Fast-growing hedges such as Lilly Pilly usually require more frequent maintenance than slower-growing species like Buxus. Regular trimming promotes dense growth, maintains privacy and prevents hedges from becoming overgrown.
What is the difference between hedge trimming and hedge pruning?
Trimming maintains the outside shape and size of the hedge using hedge trimmers. Pruning is a more selective process using secateurs or loppers to remove specific dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve the plant's health and internal structure.
Can you reduce the height of overgrown hedges?
Yes. We can safely reduce both the height and width of overgrown hedges. However, the safest method depends on the hedge species, age, condition, and access. Some conifers do not regrow from old wood, so heavy reduction must be done carefully.
Do you remove hedge clippings and green waste?
Yes. Green waste removal can be included with all hedge trimming services. We gather all clippings, leaves, and branches and take them away from your property, leaving your garden completely tidy.
How much does hedge trimming cost in Brighton?
The cost depends on the hedge height, length, thickness, accessibility, and whether it is a light trim or a heavy reduction. We provide fixed-price quotes based on photos and your suburb, so you know the exact price before we start.
What equipment do you use for hedge cutting?
We use a combination of petrol, electric, and battery-powered hedge trimmers, pole saws for tall hedges, and hand tools like secateurs and loppers for selective pruning. We select the equipment based on the hedge thickness and height.
