When can you cut hedges?

When it comes to hedging, most cutting is carried out during the spring and summer months. However, we understand that some people take on new properties and growing conditions can vary also, so we can carry out hedge cutting at any time of the year. When carried out during the winter months, we typically recommend simple trimming and pruning to tidy the hedge up.

Is hedge cutting illegal?

No hedge cutting isn’t illegal. However, if your hedge has an active bird's nest in it, then you will be unable to cut it until the nest has been cleared or abandoned. Nesting typically happens between March and July, so we will need to check whether any birds are nesting before we cut your hedges and privet back.

Can you cut a privet hedge right back?

Privet is one of the toughest types of hedges and it can easily handle what is called hard pruning. If you are wanting to cut your hedges right back, then it’s advised that one side is done one year and then the opposite side is done the next year. This is help to prevent damage occurring and it allows the privet to recover before the next cut.

How do you care for hedges?

During the first few years of being planted, hedges only require minimal pruning to keep them maintained. Once your hedges are fully embedded then it’s important to keep them maintained yearly. Depending on the type of hedge you have it will need trimming between one and four times per year.

Fencing Birmingham - Frequently Asked Questions

What is fencing?

Fencing is typically a structure that acts as a boundary marking or perimeter for a property. Most domestic and commercial properties use fencing either for decoration or security.

How much does a fence cost?

The cost of a fence will depend on a number of factors such as the type of fence you choose, the size of the fenced area and what preparations are required to install the fencing. We provide individual quotes for all fence installations to ensure our customers get the best possible quote for their requirements.

Which side of the fence is mine?

Regardless of what people think the rule of thumb is, there is no set way of who owns what side of the fence. Your property deeds will dictate which side of the fence you will be responsible for, whether it’s the right hand side, left hand side or the whole fence. Regardless of which side of the fence you own, if you are wanting a full fence that matches you can always build your new fence in front of an existing neighbouring fence.

What is the best type of fence?

The best type of fence is the one that suits your requirements and meets your budget. When you choose us for fencing installations, we will work closely with you to provide advice and guidance on the best type of fencing for your needs.

How high can a garden fence be?

The height of garden fencing can vary depending on your local authority, however the general rule of thumb is that a back garden fence can be 2 metres tall or 6.5ft and the front garden fence should be about 1 metre or 3.2ft. Should you wish to erect a fence that is taller than set guidelines, then you will need to apply for planning permission from your local council. If your property borders a public walkway or area, then a higher level of fencing is typically granted.
