We called three companies, but Bennetts offered the best price and all-round service. Our conifer hedge was overgrown; they removed it (including the roots), installed a new fence, and even helped with drive access. Their service and manners were exactly what you'd expect from true professionals. Thank you for a great job!
Thank you was a great service .

How to Trim a Hedge in Berkshire
Keeping your hedges neatly trimmed not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your property but also promotes healthy growth. Follow these simple steps to achieve well-maintained hedges:
-
Choose the Right Time: Trim your hedges during the dormant season to avoid disturbing nesting birds. Late winter or early spring is typically the best time for this task.
-
Gather the Necessary Tools: Equip yourself with the right tools for the job, including hedge trimmers, gloves, safety goggles, and a sturdy ladder if needed.
-
Start with the Top: Begin by trimming the top of the hedge to establish the desired height. Use a steady hand and make straight cuts to create a uniform appearance.
-
Work from the Outside In: Gradually work your way down the sides of the hedge, trimming small sections at a time. Maintain a slight taper towards the top to allow sunlight to reach the lower branches.
-
Shape and Finish: Step back periodically to assess the shape of the hedge and make any necessary adjustments. Aim for a gently curved or flat-topped profile, depending on your preference.
-
Clear Debris: Once you've finished trimming, clean up any fallen leaves, branches, or clippings around the base of the hedge to keep the area tidy.

Berkshire Hedge Maintenance Regulations
Understanding hedge maintenance regulations is crucial for homeowners and property managers in Berkshire. It's not just about aesthetics; it's also about legal responsibility and environmental protection.
-
Protecting Important Hedges: Hedges, especially those in rural areas, are often protected due to their environmental and historical significance. If a hedgerow is at least 30 years old and meets certain criteria, it is considered important and cannot be removed without legal permission from the local planning authority (LPA).
-
Sensitive Nesting Period: During the nesting period for birds, typically from 1 March to 31 August, it's essential to avoid work that could harm nesting birds or destroy their nests. This period is sensitive and requires special consideration to protect wildlife.
-
Guidelines for Safety and Disputes: Beyond wildlife protection, there are guidelines for cutting and maintaining hedges to prevent disputes and ensure safety. If a hedge poses a safety hazard or obstructs public pathways, there may be exceptions to when and how it can be worked on.
Understanding these regulations not only fosters community respect but also contributes to the preservation of the UK's natural and historical heritage. For more detailed information and guidance, refer to the UK Government's website and environmental organisations' resources.
