Do you do hedge cutting on Hayling Island and Havant?
Yes — hedge cutting is our main service. We cut, trim, reshape and reduce hedges of all sizes across Hayling Island, Havant, Emsworth, Waterlooville and Cosham. That includes conifer, leylandii, privet, laurel and beech. We bring our own kit and take every bit of the clippings away with us. There’s more detail on our hedge cutting page.
How much does hedge cutting cost?
Our rate is £22 per hour, per person, and most domestic hedges are done inside a morning. We give you a fixed idea of the cost before we start, and quotes are free. Price depends on the length, height and how overgrown the hedge is, plus whether the waste needs taking away.
When is the best time to cut a hedge?
Most garden hedges are best cut twice a year — once in late spring and again in late summer or early autumn. Fast growers like leylandii and privet often want two or three cuts a season. We avoid cutting active nesting sites between March and August, as nesting birds are protected by law, and we always check a hedge before we start.
Do you cut tall, overgrown or leylandii hedges?
Yes. We reduce overgrown and neglected hedges back to a manageable height and reshape them so they thicken up properly. Tall conifer and leylandii hedges are routine work for us. If a hedge has been left for years, we’ll tell you honestly what it will look like after a hard cut before we touch it.
Do you offer regular lawn mowing and garden maintenance?
Yes. We run weekly, fortnightly and monthly rounds for lawn mowing and garden maintenance across Hayling Island, Havant, Emsworth, Waterlooville and Cosham. That covers grass cutting, edging, weeding, hedge cutting and seasonal tidy-ups. Most gardens settle into a fortnightly rhythm through the growing season.
Which areas do you cover?
We’re based on Hayling Island and cover Havant, Emsworth, Waterlooville, Cosham, Bedhampton, Purbrook, Widley, Drayton, Farlington, Denmead, Rowlands Castle and the northern edge of Portsmouth. If you’re just outside that, ring us anyway — we’ll tell you straight if we can get to you.
What other garden services do you provide?
Alongside hedge cutting and lawn mowing we do general gardening, weeding, mulching and bark chip, ivy removal, fencing, seasonal cut-backs and leaf clearance. We also take on patios, paving and outdoor tiling when asked. We work on residential gardens and small commercial grounds.
Do you do mulching and bark chip on garden borders?
Yes. We weed the beds out properly first, then lay bark chip or wood chip mulch at a depth that actually works — around 5 to 7cm. Mulching holds moisture in the soil through a dry summer, stops most weed seeds germinating and feeds the border as it breaks down, so the beds need far less attention for the rest of the year. It’s a cheap job that saves money on weeding later, and we do it right across Hayling Island, Havant, Emsworth, Waterlooville and Cosham.
How often does a garden need mulching?
Once a year is plenty for most gardens. We usually top up each spring, once the soil has warmed but before the weeds get going, which gives the borders cover for the whole growing season. Bark chip breaks down over roughly twelve to eighteen months, so an annual top-up keeps the depth right.
Do you do fencing work?
Yes — feather-edge, panel, post-and-rail and gate installations. We replace storm-damaged fences and install new boundary fencing for Hayling Island, Havant, Emsworth and Waterlooville properties.
Do you lay patios or do tiling?
We do, though it’s not our main line of work — hedge cutting and lawn mowing keep us busiest. We’ll happily take on patio laying, paving and outdoor tiling for existing customers across Hayling Island, Havant and Emsworth, and we prep and lay properly so it stays level and drains through a wet Hampshire winter. Give us a ring and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a job for us.
