The job

What needed doing

The customer booked Martin to reduce the height and trim a 35-metre laurel hedge. Running along the street and around the corner of the property, the established hedge needed attention across the full length, including the tall side and the return. Removing the cuttings was part of the job.

The finished hedge has a defined outline along both sides of the corner, with the leafy boundary retained. The final photographs show the pavement cleared of the cuttings visible during the work. David described Martin as knowledgeable, helpful, efficient and reliable, and said he would book again.

The finishing details

A tidy line, right around the boundary

A long hedge is seen from more than one angle. Here, the height, face and corner all needed to work together, followed by a thorough clear-up along the pavement.

Height brought back under control

The customer requested a height reduction as well as a trim. The finished views show the resulting top line along the boundary.

The full 35-metre run

The work covered a substantial established hedge. Trimming along the face gave the long street-facing side a more consistent outline.

A neatly shaped corner

The hedge follows the corner of the property. The wider finished view shows how the trimmed faces meet at the return.

Waste taken away

Clearing up was part of the finish. The pavement is clear in the final photos, and David confirms in his review that all the waste was removed.
