When is the Best Time to Trim Hedges in Dorset & Hampshire?

Well-maintained hedges add structure, privacy, and curb appeal to your property — but timing is everything. At Clearcut Tree Surgery, we provide professional hedge trimming services across Dorset and Hampshire all year round, tailored to your hedge type and growth cycle.

General Timing Guide:

• Spring (March–May): Light shaping to encourage healthy summer growth.
• Summer (June–August): Main trimming season for formal hedges like box, privet, or yew.
• Autumn (September–October): Final tidy before winter — especially important for large boundary hedges.
• Winter (November–February): Good time to reduce overgrown hedges when bird nesting season is over.

We regularly maintain hedges for homes, estates, and commercial sites in:

• Bournemouth
• Poole
• Christchurch
• Southampton
• Ferndown, Wimborne and surrounding villages
• New Forest and surrounding Hampshire villages
