Hedges serve a vital function in any garden, acting as natural boundaries and helping to reduce external noise. But to stay healthy and visually appealing, they need consistent care. They also support local ecosystems by providing shelter and food for birds, insects, and other wildlife—contributing to a thriving, pollinator-friendly environment.
Whether a hedge is formal, informal, or showing signs of decline, prompt attention is essential—and that’s where our team at Chesterfield Tree Surgeons comes in. We provide a full range of professional services, including hedge cutting and removal, for customers throughout Chesterfield and nearby areas. We also carry out full tree removal and broader garden improvement projects.
Our hedge clearing and shrub removal services involve the full removal of green waste followed by a thorough clean-up of the area. We’re licensed waste carriers, but our license covers green waste disposal only.
At Chesterfield Tree Surgeons, we advise avoiding hedge removal between 1st March and 31st August in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which protects bird nesting periods. Unless a hedge presents an urgent safety risk, we schedule removal work outside these months to comply with these regulations.
As trusted tree surgery specialists in Chesterfield, we also provide expert guidance on every element of garden upkeep—from lawn care to weeding flower beds. Our garden transformations speak for themselves. Get in touch today and let us help you reshape your outdoor space with professional hedge and tree clearing.

Not sure which hedge you’ve got growing? One of the most common choices is the English Yew, a popular pick for boundaries in gardens of all sizes. It’s also ideal for shaping, making it a go-to for those interested in topiary. Other well-liked varieties among our clients include cherry laurel, beech, leylandii, hornbeam, and hawthorn.
We often suggest evergreen hedges because they stay green throughout the year, maintaining a lush look even in winter when other plants may be bare. Examples include species like holly and various types of conifers.
Thinking about replacing your current hedge? Our specialists at Chesterfield Tree Surgeons can help you choose the best option for your garden. We’ll consider what works best for your space—ensuring the hedge offers noise screening, enhances biodiversity, and shields flowerbeds and delicate plants from the elements.

We recommend trimming hedges at least twice a year to maintain shape and promote healthy growth. Fast-growing species like leylandii may need more frequent attention, while slower-growing varieties can be trimmed annually. Regular trimming also prevents overgrowth and maintains a tidy appearance in your garden. Some people schedule their hedge trimming at the same time as tree trimming.

Hedgerow removal is a significant task that requires careful consideration. While it may be necessary for land development, property boundaries, or aesthetic reasons, it’s important to understand the ecological impact. Hedgerows provide vital habitats for wildlife, improve soil stability, and contribute to biodiversity. Before removing a hedge or hedgerow, it’s essential to check local regulations and explore alternatives, such as trimming or replanting, to maintain the balance between development and nature preservation. Professional hedge trimming services can help manage these changes efficiently, ensuring both safety and environmental responsibility.
