Hedge Trimming in Gloucester
Hedge work in Gloucester is mostly two jobs. The first is the cedar privacy run along a back property line, planted when the subdivision went in and now tall enough that neighbours on both sides have stopped touching it. The second is foundation plantings across the front of the house that have crept up over the windows.
How we approach it
Hedge Trimming, done for Gloucester properties
Both need a defined target line rather than a light tidy-up. We set a height and depth the hedge can hold for the next few seasons, cut with a taper so the base keeps its light, and clear out dead interior growth, so it stays green through the middle rather than becoming a shell of foliage over bare stems.
We do hedge trimming across Gloucester and the east end, including Orléans, Blackburn Hamlet, Beacon Hill, Chapel Hill, Greenboro, Carson Grove, and Pineview. Back-lot cedar runs, front foundation shrubs, and hedges along driveways and sidewalks are all trimmed to a set line, and every clipping is raked up and hauled away.
How the job runs
- 01Set the target lineWe agree the finished height and depth before starting, which matters most on a boundary hedge shared with a neighbour.
- 02Check the species and conditionCedar, privet, and boxwood each tolerate different amounts of cutting back, and that determines how far we can safely take it.
- 03Trim, shape, and thinFaces and tops are cut to a straight line with a taper, and dead interior growth is cleared as we go.
- 04Rake out and removeClippings are raked from inside the hedge base and off beds and lawn, then bagged and hauled away.
