Trimming hedges is an essential task that helps to maintain their health, shape, and size. It is important to prune hedges after planting and regularly trim them once established to keep them dense, looking neat, and within bounds. Formative pruning is carried out on young hedges and encourages bushy growth, while maintenance pruning keeps established hedges looking good. A hedge with dense growth can help to block noise, pollution, and unsightly views. Keeping a formal hedge looking neat is time-consuming, so an informal hedge is often a better option in low maintenance gardens.

Pruning hedges also helps to prevent dead or dying branches from harming neighboring plants and people. By removing these branches, you allow the hedge’s flowers or fruits to blossom. Pruning also helps to maintain the hedge’s shape and size, which is important for its overall health.

When pruning hedges, it’s important to use the right tools and techniques.

Tree stump removal is a process that involves removing the stump of a tree after it has been cut down. Stumps can be removed with the right equipment and technique, or removed by weedkiller. Digging out a stump is a common method of removal. For smaller trees, the stumps can be pulled out with a winch. Grubbing out by hand or mechanical mini-excavator removes the majority of the root system. Alternatively, machines known as stump grinders will mechanically grind out the main root plate, leaving fine sawdust. Although stump grinders can be hired, they are potentially hazardous and are only for gardeners confident that they can use machinery safely.
