What Is Included

Hedge, Topiary & Tree Pruning, Covered Properly

Hedges, topiary, ornamental shrubs, and small trees, cut with an understanding of how each one responds. Professional-grade STIHL equipment throughout, and every site fully tidied before we leave.

Formal hedge trimming

Beech, yew, hornbeam, privet, box, and laurel cut to a true line and face.

Topiary

Maintaining established forms, and establishing new ones from scratch.

Ornamental shrub pruning

Cut to species and to flowering habit, so you do not lose next year's display.

Small tree work

Crown lifting, thinning, and reduction on trees within safe working reach.

Reduction and renovation

Bringing overgrown hedges back under control across one or more seasons.

Full clearance of arisings

Everything cut is collected and the site is left immaculate.

Our Approach

High Standards. Every Time.

The cut matters less than the timing and the species. Laurel wants secateurs rather than a hedge trimmer unless you like brown, shredded leaves. Yew tolerates hard renovation and most conifers do not. Cutting a spring flowering shrub in winter removes the flower buds entirely.

We are not tree surgeons and will say so. Anything requiring climbing, felling, or work near power lines needs a qualified arborist, and we would rather tell you that than take the job.

Common Questions

Hedge, Topiary & Tree Pruning, Answered

How high can you work?

We work from ground level and platforms within safe reach, which covers most domestic hedges and small ornamental trees. For anything requiring climbing or felling we will refer you to a qualified tree surgeon.

Can an overgrown hedge be brought back?

Often, though it depends on the species. Yew, beech, hornbeam, and laurel take hard renovation well. Most conifers, including leylandii, will not regrow from bare wood, so there is a limit to how far back they can go.

What about nesting birds?

Active nests are protected by law. We check hedges before starting between March and August, and will reschedule if we find one.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Always. Arisings are collected, the ground is blown through, and the site is left immaculate.

Where we work. Cal Verde is based in Rochester and covers Kent and South East London, from the Medway towns and Maidstone out to Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells, and across Blackheath, Greenwich, Chislehurst, Bromley, and Dulwich.
