Signs You Need Hedge Trimming Harpenden

Overgrown Appearance

When your hedges begin to seem unruly and overgrown, with branches jutting out in all directions, it's evident that they need to be trimmed.

Dense Growth

If the foliage on your hedges becomes too dense, preventing sunlight and airflow, it can cause mould and illness. Trimming can help open up the hedge, resulting in healthier growth.

Encroaching on Pathways

When your hedges' branches start encroaching on sidewalks, roads, or other routes, it's necessary to trim them back to provide for clear passage.

Dead or Diseased Branches

Dead or diseased branches not only detract from the beauty of your hedges, but they can also spread diseases throughout the plant if not addressed. Trimming these branches can help prevent additional damage.

Loss of Shape

Hedges are frequently planted for aesthetic reasons as well as to serve as boundary or privacy screens. If your hedges have lost their desired shape or are growing unevenly, they may require trimming to restore their form and function.
