Start with the boundary
Keep the screening. Change the scale.
A hedge can frame the garden and protect privacy, but it still needs to fit the space. A straightforward trim may be enough; extra height or width can call for a considered reduction that accounts for the hedge’s condition and retained foliage.
If keeping it no longer makes sense, we can discuss removal, the remaining stumps and any replacement fencing, with each part clearly included in the quote. Read our guide to keeping or replacing an overgrown hedge.

or replace.
Start with the result you want rather than assuming the whole hedge needs to come out.
Reduce its size
Bring excess height or width back under control while considering the species, condition and useful foliage that needs to remain for screening.
Plan a hedge reductionRemove and replace
Where the hedge no longer suits the boundary, agree what comes out at ground level and plan any stump work or new fencing as separate parts of the job.

Keep the tree, remove it, or deal with the stump.
Pruning, removal and stump grinding solve different problems. The tree’s condition, its surroundings, machine access and what you want to do with the space all shape the right scope.

Prune a tree you want to retain
Selective pruning or crown work can manage branches and canopy growth where keeping the tree is suitable.

Before you get in touch.
Can a large conifer hedge be reduced while retaining screening?
Often a reduction is possible, but the suitable amount depends on the conifer species, its condition and where live foliage remains. We’ll discuss the height and width you want, the screening to retain and a realistic agreed scope; regrowth cannot be guaranteed.
What happens to a stump after tree or hedge removal?
Cutting the plant down, grinding the remaining stump and carrying out wider root excavation are different jobs. Tell us how you plan to use the area so the quote can state which work is included.
Do permissions need checking for tree work in Yarm?
Tree Preservation Orders and conservation-area rules can affect the work. The relevant checks and responsibility for any application should be agreed before work starts; council approval cannot be assumed or guaranteed.
