Professional Hedge Trimming in the New Forest, Hampshire and Dorset.

Professional Hedge Trimming in the New Forest, Hampshire and Dorset.

Arbor Bear Tree Specialists provides professional hedge trimming and hedge cutting across the New Forest, Lymington and surrounding areas of Hampshire and Dorset.

​

From regular maintenance of established garden hedges to the reduction and reshaping of large, mature boundaries, our experienced team provides careful, professional hedge care for homes, estates, gardens and commercial properties.

We work with a wide variety of hedge species and sizes, helping to keep hedges healthy, well managed and looking their best throughout the year.

Hedge Cutting & Maintenance

Regular hedge maintenance helps control growth, maintain shape and density, and prevent established hedges from becoming oversized or difficult to manage.

​

Whether you need a light seasonal trim or more substantial work to regain control of an overgrown hedge, Arbor Bear can assess its condition and recommend an appropriate approach.

​

Our hedge trimming services include:

  • Regular hedge cutting and maintenance

  • Hedge shaping and tidying

  • Height and width reductions

  • Overgrown hedge management

  • Large and mature hedge cutting

  • Boundary hedge maintenance

  • Removal of dead or damaged growth

  • Ongoing seasonal hedge care

​​

We take into account the species, condition and natural growth habit of the hedge before carrying out work, rather than applying the same approach to every hedge.

Large & Overgrown Hedge Reduction

Large hedges can quickly become difficult to maintain, particularly when they begin to encroach on gardens, pathways, driveways, neighbouring properties or buildings.

​

Arbor Bear provides professional hedge reduction throughout the New Forest, including work on tall, wide and mature hedges that require specialist equipment and experience to manage safely.

​

Where significant reduction is required, we'll advise on what can realistically be achieved while considering the health of the hedge and its ability to regenerate.

Professional Hedge Care

Good hedge maintenance isn't simply about cutting everything back as far as possible.

​

Different species respond differently to pruning, and cutting too hard or at the wrong time can result in poor regrowth, bare areas or long-term damage.

​

With 20 years of arboricultural experience, Arbor Bear takes a considered approach to hedge management, balancing the appearance and practical requirements of your property with the long-term health and structure of the hedge.

Where hedges form part of a larger garden, estate or property, we can also advise on surrounding trees, planting and ongoing arboricultural maintenance.

Hedge Trimming & Wildlife

Established hedges provide important habitat for birds and other wildlife throughout the New Forest and beyond.

​

Before beginning work, we consider the presence of active bird nests and other protected wildlife. Hedge cutting may need to be postponed or adapted where an active nest or protected species could be disturbed.

​

For this reason, larger hedge reductions are often best planned in advance, particularly around the main bird nesting season.
