What do hedge trimming services include?

Hedge trimming services involve removing and cutting away any diseased and overgrown stems and branches from your hedges or even fruit trees. The purpose of hedge trimming is to maintain the health of your hedge and allow for new growth. Once you book a hedge trimming service near you, your trimming specialist can handle the entire process so you won't have to lift a finger.

From inspecting your hedge's current condition and preparing the right gear to cutting away any overgrowth and cleaning up the area after, you can leave all your hedge cutting needs to Airtasker. For a better idea of tree and hedge cutting services, here are more details:

Pre-trimming preparation

Your Tasker first inspects your hedge's current state before trimming. It involves checking for any areas that need more maintenance, ensuring that no animals, including cats, possums, and bird nests, are left in your hedge. The preparation also includes and placing a groundsheet or tarpaulin beneath your hedge for easier catching of branches, stems, and other debris.

Your Tasker prepares the right tools and equipment for easy access such as hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, brooms, rubbish bags, and heavy-duty garden waste bins. Since trimming hedges pose a lot of risks, your Tasker also suits up with protective clothing. Doing so protects them from any cuts, scratches, bruises from flying branches, and getting any dust or debris into their eyes.

Hedge trimming

Your hedge trimming starts with your Tasker cutting away your hedge with a hedge cutter in controlled, sweeping motions. Usually, the top is cut in a more narrow line compared to the base to let maximum sunlight reach your hedge and enable easier maintenance as it grows. To get uniform lines, your Tasker cuts your hedge from the ground up with a smooth, gliding back and forth motion.

Branches are closely cut to the nodes or trunk to avoid any pests or diseases. Once all sides of your hedge are trimmed, your Tasker takes a few steps back to inspect it from a distance. If touch-ups are necessary, your Tasker cuts away any remaining stems and branches while looking out for any uneven dips or cut-outs.

Post-trimming cleanup

Once you and your Tasker are satisfied with your trimmed hedge, it's time to clean the area from any remaining dirt and debris. The groundsheet or tarpaulin placed beneath your hedge can easily catch most hedge clippings. Also, any leftover branches or stems that have flown away throughout your property are collected and put in the proper waste bins. 

Your Tasker also clears away any remaining items from your paths and walkways that can obstruct and cause potential accidents. Lastly, your Tasker checks your hedge's condition after trimming. To speed up growth, your Tasker can also add fertiliser or mulch at your request.

Thomas was 10/10. He trimmed my 5m tall pittosporum hedge, then he dug a trench 6.5m long, 50cm wide, 50cm deep, to get my garden strip ready for planting Magnolias. He is hard-working, focused, and does a quality job. I didn't have ask him to correct his work because it was done right the first time. Pleasant demeanour, easy to discuss the work at hand. No stress for me.

Hedge Trimming - Townhouse West Footscray

$150

West Footscray VIC, Australia

16th Feb 2024

Hi there! We need our hedge trimmed - we do maintain it regularly with last trimming done a few weeks ago. It should be a pretty straightforward work for someone able to bring a proper ladder and a solid trimmer (less than 2 hours). Unfortunately it is now quite tall and we are unable to reach the highest part of it without proper equipment. As our hedge works well as screening against other properties we are only currently looking for someone to shape it properly and help use reduce the height (and cut some large branches). We will also need some cutting of the neighbouring bamboo that is now reaching the top of our pergola. See pictures for more details. Location: West Footscray (Hansen Reserve side) Completion date: by Wed 21st Feb 11.30 am - preferably on Monday 19th or Tuesday 20th Happy to adjust date if the weather is not optimal. Type of gardening: Hedge trimming Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: Yes
