Hedge trimming in Adelaide

Common Hedge Species We Work With

Adelaide gardens feature a wide variety of hedge plants and we’re experienced with all of them. We regularly trim English box, murraya, photinia, lilly pilly, viburnum, pittosporum, and native westringia hedges. Each species responds differently to pruning — some handle hard cuts well, while others need lighter, more frequent trims to stay dense. We know the difference and adjust our approach accordingly so your hedges stay healthy and full.

When to Trim Your Hedges

Most hedges in Adelaide benefit from trimming 2-4 times per year, depending on the species and how formal you want the shape. Fast growers like murraya and photinia may need quarterly trims during the growing season, while slower species like English box can get by with two trims a year. We recommend avoiding heavy pruning during extreme heat or frost. The best times for a thorough shape-up are spring and autumn when plants recover quickly.

Our Hedge Trimming Process

We start by discussing the shape and height you want, then work systematically along the hedge using professional-grade power trimmers and hand shears for detail work. We trim the sides first to maintain a slight taper — wider at the base than the top — which allows sunlight to reach the lower branches and prevents bare patches. All clippings are cleaned up and removed from your property as part of the service.

Personalised Quotes for Every Job

Hedge trimming prices depend on the number of hedges, their height, length, and how overgrown they are. A straightforward maintenance trim on a few metres of low hedge is a quick job, while restoring a neglected 3-metre screen takes more time and equipment. We provide a personalised quote after understanding what you need — no generic pricing that leaves you guessing. Our team is fully insured for your peace of mind.
