Brisbane garden care

Hedge trimming in Brisbane

Has your hedge lost its shape, or started pushing into the path, the windows or the fence? We trim Brisbane hedges back to clean lines without cutting so hard that it hurts the plant. Cutting hedges and pruning them are the same visit for us, so the hedge and the beds around it get done together.

On a hedge trimming visit, we can also weed, prune and tidy the garden beds. We take the green waste away when we're done.

Hedge trimming in Brisbane

Cutting hedges back into shape

Cutting hedges back to their line is most of the job. We shape formal hedges and informal ones, and keep those lines neat from one visit to the next. Pruning the hedges and the shrubs around them can happen on the same visit, and green waste removal is included.

This suits you if you want your hedge lines kept neat between visits, or you'd like the beds weeded while we're there.

Jobs that need more than one service

Overgrown Paddington gardens and hedges

For an overgrown Paddington garden, start with hedge trimming. Then weed control and soft landscaping can freshen up tired beds and the entry.

Around Queenslander homes, gardens can have narrow access, layered planting and a front path. Once a hedge grows out, it crowds the house or the footpath.

Common problems

Garden problems we can help with

Fast summer growth

When lawns and hedges take off in a Brisbane summer, we plan the mowing, edging, pruning and green waste as one regular job.

Overgrown hedges and formal edges

We trim established Brisbane hedges to suit the species and keep formal and informal lines neat. Green waste removal is included after hedge trimming.

Pruning timing

In established Brisbane gardens we prune to suit the plant, the season and how stressed it is, and we'll tell you when it's better to wait.

Garden tidy up before you sell

Getting your Brisbane garden ready to sell? We mow and edge the lawn, weed the beds and prune, and fresh mulch or a few new plants can freshen up tired beds.

Weeds taking over beds and paths

We hand weed Brisbane garden beds, keep paths and edges clear, and give you advice on mulch and soil, which help slow the weeds coming back.

Seasonal catch up before the growth spurt

We plan the mowing, hedge trimming, pruning and weeding around Brisbane's year, with summer growth, an autumn tidy and winter pruning.

Spring jobs before summer growth

In a Brisbane spring we catch up on the mowing, edging, weeds and hedges before summer growth starts, and regular visits can keep it there.

Regular garden jobs that keep slipping

If the lawn, hedges and beds keep falling behind, we can put them on a fortnightly or monthly schedule, with irrigation checks along the way.

Commercial frontages and shared gardens

For commercial and strata sites in Brisbane, we mow and edge, trim hedges and keep weeds down on a regular schedule, and take the green waste away.

Garden clean up after storms

After a Brisbane storm, we clear the fallen leaves and green waste first, then mow, prune damaged shrubs and check the irrigation if heavy rain showed up dry or soggy spots.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you weed and prune while you're trimming the hedges?

Yes. We can prune, weed and work on the garden beds in the same visit as the hedges.

Do you remove green waste after hedge trimming?

Yes. Green waste removal is included after hedge trimming, so you aren't left with a pile of clippings.

How often should hedges be cut in Brisbane?

It comes down to the plant and how fast it grows. Hedges put on most of their growth in the warm months, so that is when they need cutting more often. We can keep the lines neat on regular visits, fortnightly or monthly, or come out for a one off cut when the hedge has got away from you.

Is cutting hedges the same as pruning them?

Not quite. Cutting a hedge keeps it to its line, its face or its shape. Pruning is more selective, and we look at each branch: what to shorten or thin out, what to take away and what to leave so the plant grows back well. One visit can include both.

Can you cut back a hedge that has grown too tall or too wide?

Yes. When a hedge is pushing into a path, a window or a fence, we cut it back to a line that suits the plant rather than cutting so hard that it hurts it. A big job can be split into stages, and the green waste goes with us.

What does hedge trimming cost in Brisbane?

We don't publish prices, and quotes are free. How tall and long the hedge is, how we get to it, how much green waste there is and whether it is a one off or an ongoing visit all change the price. Photos of the hedge line help, and we aim to reply within 1 business day.
