Laurel Hedge Trimming & Pruning (English Laurel, Prunus laurocerasus)

Laurel hedges, particularly the English Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus), are popular choices for homeowners due to their dense foliage and ability to provide privacy. However, they require regular trimming and pruning to maintain their appearance and health. Neglecting these tasks can lead to overgrowth, disease, and even damage to the hedge itself. This article will guide you through the essential aspects of trimming and pruning your laurel hedge, ensuring it remains lush and attractive.

Our Approach

  • Assessment: We evaluate the health and structure of your laurel hedge to identify any areas that need special attention.
  • Tools and Techniques: We use the right tools and methods tailored for English laurel, ensuring clean cuts that promote healthy growth.

  • Ongoing Care: We provide tips and recommendations for maintaining your hedge between professional visits.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.
