Professional Hedge Care Services in Surrey & South West London
At AS Treecare, we specialise in professional hedge care for homes, estates, and commercial properties across Surrey and South West London, including Sunbury-on-Thames, Richmond, Twickenham, Hampton, Teddington, Shepperton, Staines, Ashford, Egham, and surrounding areas. Our qualified arborists provide expert hedge trimming, shaping, and maintenance to keep your boundaries looking tidy, healthy, and well-balanced all year round. Every project is carried out to BS 3998:2010 Tree Work – Recommendations, ensuring precision, safety, and respect for your landscape.
Hedge Trimming and Shaping
Regular hedge trimming not only improves the appearance of your property but also promotes dense, healthy growth. Our skilled team uses professional cutting equipment to achieve clean, consistent results — whether you need a crisp formal shape for a front garden in Richmond or a natural finish for a longer hedge in Sunbury-on-Thames. By maintaining the correct height and width, we help hedges stay strong, uniform, and visually appealing throughout the seasons.
Hedge Reduction and Restoration
Overgrown hedges can quickly block light, encroach on neighbouring spaces, or become difficult to manage. Our hedge reduction services carefully reduce height and spread while preserving the health and integrity of the plants. In cases where hedges have been neglected or damaged, we offer restoration pruning to encourage fresh, balanced regrowth. Whether you need to reclaim space in a small garden in Twickenham or restore long perimeter hedges in Shepperton or Egham, AS Treecare delivers effective, tidy results.
Tall and Large Hedge Management
For larger or high-level hedges, our team is equipped with mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), allowing us to reach even the tallest and widest hedges safely and efficiently. We work with both residential and commercial clients across Teddington, Hampton, and Staines, providing dependable hedge maintenance without disruption. Our equipment and techniques ensure a uniform finish and clean, controlled work — ideal for Leylandii, laurel, beech, and other fast-growing species.
Seasonal Hedge Maintenance
Hedges benefit from regular maintenance throughout the year to keep them healthy and manageable. We tailor our trimming schedules to each species, ensuring optimal timing for growth and flowering. For example, evergreen hedges may need cutting two or three times a year, while deciduous hedges often require just one thorough trim. Our local knowledge of Surrey’s soil and growing conditions helps us provide maintenance that suits the region’s climate, ensuring your hedges stay in excellent condition all year round.
Eco-Friendly Waste Removal and Recycling
After every job, AS Treecare ensures your property is left clean and tidy. All cuttings are processed using professional wood chippers, and green waste is fully recycled or repurposed for mulch and biomass. At your request, chippings can be left on-site free of charge for use as ground cover. Our environmentally responsible approach ensures sustainable hedge care for clients throughout Surrey and South West London, keeping your property looking its best while protecting the local environment.

How do you care for overgrown or neglected fruit trees?
Neglected fruit trees often suffer from tangled branches, poor air circulation, and inconsistent fruit production. At AS Treecare, we specialise in restorative fruit tree pruning for homeowners and estates across Surrey and South West London, including Sunbury-on-Thames, Ashford, and Teddington.
Our arborists begin by assessing the tree’s condition and creating a tailored multi-year pruning plan. During the first stage, we remove dead or diseased wood and thin out overcrowded areas to restore light and airflow. In subsequent years, we gradually reshape the canopy to stimulate healthy new growth and maximise fruit yield without stressing the tree.
Proper fruit tree maintenance not only improves productivity but also enhances overall health, preventing fungal infections and pest problems. We apply specialist pruning techniques suited to each species, ensuring that every cut supports natural healing and strong seasonal regrowth. Whether you have a single apple tree or an entire orchard, AS Treecare provides the care and expertise needed to bring your trees back to life.
Do you offer hedge trimming and maintenance for large or tall hedges?
Yes. AS Treecare provides hedge cutting and maintenance for all hedge sizes, from small garden borders to extensive commercial hedgerows. Our team operates across Surrey, Staines, Egham, and the wider South West London area, equipped with mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) and professional trimming tools to manage even the tallest or widest hedges safely and efficiently.
Regular hedge maintenance keeps hedges dense, tidy, and healthy while preventing them from encroaching on walkways or neighbouring properties. For formal hedges like yew or box, we maintain clean lines and symmetry, while for natural species such as laurel or beech, we encourage balanced, natural growth.
All waste is processed using our on-site wood chippers, and the area is left clean and tidy. At your request, wood chippings can be left for mulch or garden use, free of charge. With a reputation for precision and professionalism, AS Treecare ensures your hedges remain a defining feature of your property all year round.
When is the best time of year to trim hedges?
The ideal time to trim hedges depends on their type and growth pattern. In general, formative pruning—shaping young hedges during their first couple of years—is best carried out in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Established evergreen hedges, such as laurel or Leylandii, benefit from trimming two or three times a year, typically in spring, mid-summer, and early autumn, to maintain dense foliage and neat lines. Deciduous hedges, such as beech or hawthorn, usually need one or two cuts between late summer and early autumn once birds have finished nesting.
At AS Treecare, we schedule hedge maintenance around each plant’s natural growth cycle and comply with wildlife protection laws to avoid disturbing nesting birds. Our experienced team understands the subtle differences in timing across Surrey and South West London’s microclimates — from the shaded gardens of Richmond to the open plots of Egham and Sunbury-on-Thames. By trimming at the right time, we keep your hedges healthy, attractive, and compliant with best environmental practice all year round.
Are you insured and qualified to carry out hedge work?
Absolutely. AS Treecare operates with full public liability insurance and employs NPTC-qualified arborists trained in all aspects of hedge care. We follow BS 3998:2010 Tree Work – Recommendations to guarantee safe, professional, and compliant results across every project.
Our equipment is regularly inspected, and every job includes a full risk assessment and method statement to ensure the safety of our team, your property, and the surrounding environment. Whether working in a small garden in Richmond or managing mature trees in Shepperton or Twickenham, we uphold the same high standards of care, efficiency, and respect for your landscape.
Clients choose AS Treecare because of our reputation for reliability, expertise, and transparent communication. With over two decades of experience serving Surrey and South West London, we’ve become a trusted local name for professional tree surgery, hedge trimming, and long-term landscape maintenance.
Do you remove all hedge waste after trimming?
Yes. At AS Treecare, we take full responsibility for site cleanliness and waste management on every hedge-care project. Once trimming or reduction is complete, all cuttings, leaves, and branches are cleared, chipped, and removed using our professional wood chippers and vehicles. We leave your garden or commercial site completely tidy and ready to enjoy — there’s no need for you to handle any disposal.
We’re also committed to sustainable recycling practices across Surrey and South West London. All green waste collected from hedge maintenance is recycled or repurposed as mulch, compost, or biomass fuel, ensuring nothing goes to landfill. If you’d prefer, we can leave the wood chippings on-site free of charge for use as mulch or ground cover.
Whether we’re maintaining a small garden hedge in Teddington or trimming long boundary hedges on a large Hampton or Staines estate, our clients can rely on us for efficient, environmentally responsible hedge-care services that prioritise both quality and sustainability.
