I’m Tony Hands, tree surgeon and owner of Hands on Tree Care, I have seen first-hand how a professional hedge cutting service can completely transform outdoor spaces. Whether you are managing small garden hedges or a large perimeter hedge, the difference between overgrown or neglected hedges and well-maintained hedges is striking. A tidy hedge is not just about appearance. It supports healthier foliage, improves structure, and protects neighbouring properties, fences, and fencing.

Conifer hedges can be thick and hard to tackle if you allow them to get out of control. Conifers can be trimmed most of the year but not during bird nesting season. Conifers are evergreens and should not be pruned back too hard because it as exposes brown inner part of the hedge.

Evergreen Trees Removed Safely

Posted on February 9, 2016December 16, 2018 by Tony Hands - Tree Surgeon - Sheffield

Hands on Tree Care had a busy Autumn, we had to get the evergreen trees removed. Hands on Tree Care were called to Chesterfield to dismantle some Leylandii and Lawson’s Cypress trees. The trees were situated in the rear garden and needed to be removed to allow more light into the garden. After the trees were cut down, all the logs were stacked and cut to size for the customer to use on their wood burning stove. Typically logs would need 12-18 months seasoning so they have a proper chance to dry out. Ideal moisture content for hard or soft wood logs for stove burning is 20% or under. This ensures excessive tar does not form in chimneys and sufficient heat is produced from fire to warm rooms.

Overgrown Conifer Hedge – Pruned.

Posted on April 3, 2015December 13, 2018 by Tony Hands - Tree Surgeon - Sheffield

We were called out to a house in Chesterfield to look at a very overgrown Conifer hedge. The Hedge had grown up to a height of approximately 12 meters in height and 75 meters long. The hedge was mature and would have taken around 15-20 years to reach this height. Annual pruning would have prevented this level of overgrowth. We were asked to reduce hedge as our customer’s neighbours had recently had solar panels fitted to their roof and were unable to get any benefit due to shade caused by an overgrown hedge. Hands on Tree Care use a sectional dismantling technique to reduce the height of the hedge. Once we had trimmed the hedge to the desired height, cut the trunks into logs and removed all the cut branches.
