Can You Cut Back Very Large Hedges? – Professional Hedge Reduction Services
If you’ve got a hedge that’s grown far too tall, wide, or completely out of control, you’re probably asking the same question — can you cut back very large hedges? The short answer is yes, but it needs to be done properly to avoid damage and get the best results.
At All Seasons Tree Surgery, we specialise in cutting back large and overgrown hedges, restoring them to a manageable size while keeping them healthy and well-shaped.
Yes, Large Hedges Can Be Cut Back
Even the biggest, thickest hedges can be reduced — but it’s not just a case of cutting them down randomly. A professional approach is needed to make sure the hedge recovers properly and keeps its structure.
When done correctly, cutting back a large hedge will:
- Restore its shape and structure
- Improve its health and growth
- Allow more light into your garden
- Make your outdoor space more usable
The key is knowing how much to remove and where to cut without damaging the plant.
What’s Involved in Cutting Back Large Hedges?
Overgrown hedges often have thick internal branches and uneven growth, which requires the right tools and experience to handle safely.
- Reducing height and width in stages
- Removing heavy, dense growth
- Reshaping the hedge evenly
- Maintaining a natural and balanced look
- Clearing all waste and debris
It’s not just about cutting — it’s about restoring the hedge so it grows back properly.
Why You Shouldn’t Attempt It Yourself
Large hedge reduction might seem straightforward, but it can quickly become difficult and even dangerous without the right equipment.
- Working at height with ladders
- Handling heavy tools and thick branches
- Risk of uneven or poor cutting
- Potential damage to the hedge
One bad cut can leave a hedge looking uneven for years, so it’s always best to get it done professionally.
