Hedge cutting in Llanelli
We cut a lot of hedges round Llanelli, and you can see a few of them in the videos below. The two jobs we see most are front hedges that have slowly crept over the pavement, and back hedges that have been left so long they block the light to the whole garden.
Overgrown hedges on a pavement are more than an eyesore. If a hedge blocks the footpath, the council can ask the owner to cut it back, so it's worth getting it done before that letter arrives.
Reducing a massive overgrown hedge in Llanelli
Hedge cutting in Llanelli
Every kind of hedge
Conifer and leylandii
Trimmed back to shape, or reduced in height, without cutting into old brown wood that won't grow back.
Privet, laurel and beech
Cut to a clean line on the sides and top, with the shape you want kept from year to year.
Tall hedges
Up to about 4 metres with ladders and long-reach pole cutters. Taller than that, we'll say so honestly.
Hedge reductions
Big overgrown hedges taken down in height and width, done in stages if the hedge needs it.
Clippings cleared
Every clipping raked out of borders, lawns and paths and taken away as a registered waste carrier.
Nest checks
From March to August we check for active nests first. If birds are nesting, that section waits.

Common questions
Do you cut hedges all over Llanelli?
Yes, including Felinfoel, Dafen, Furnace, Pwll and the rest of SA14 and SA15. We're based in Kidwelly, so we're never far away.
When is the best time to cut a hedge?
Late summer through to winter is the easiest time, because most birds have finished nesting. The RSPB recommends avoiding hedge cutting from March to August. You can still trim in spring and summer, but we always check for active nests first, because damaging one is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
How tall a hedge can you cut?
Up to about 4 metres with our ladders and long-reach pole cutters. For anything taller, or anything needing climbing or a cherry picker, we'll tell you straight and quote for it separately.
Can you cut a conifer hedge right back?
Only so far. Most conifers, including leylandii, won't regrow from old brown wood, so cutting back past the green leaves leaves a bare patch for good. We'll tell you how far yours can safely come down.
Do you take the hedge clippings away?
Yes. All clippings are raked out of borders and lawns and taken away as a registered waste carrier. It's included in the price.
