When can you cut hedges?

When it comes to hedging, most cutting is carried out during the spring and summer months. However, we understand that some people take on new properties and growing conditions can vary also, so we can carry out hedge cutting at any time of the year. When carried out during the winter months, we typically recommend simple trimming and pruning to tidy the hedge up.

Is hedge cutting illegal?

No hedge cutting isn’t illegal. However, if your hedge has an active bird's nest in it, then you will be unable to cut it until the nest has been cleared or abandoned. Nesting typically happens between March and July, so we will need to check whether any birds are nesting before we cut your hedges and privet back.

Can you cut a privet hedge right back?

Privet is one of the toughest types of hedges and it can easily handle what is called hard pruning. If you are wanting to cut your hedges right back, then it’s advised that one side is done one year and then the opposite side is done the next year. This is help to prevent damage occurring and it allows the privet to recover before the next cut.

How do you care for hedges?

During the first few years of being planted, hedges only require minimal pruning to keep them maintained. Once your hedges are fully embedded then it’s important to keep them maintained yearly. Depending on the type of hedge you have it will need trimming between one and four times per year.

Decking Stourport-on-Severn - Frequently Asked Questions

What is decking?

Decking is typically a flat area capable of supporting weight above ground height. Most decked areas can be found directly around the rear access of a property or they might be used in a designated area in a garden, such as hot tub placement.

How much is decking?

The cost of decking will depend on the type of decking you choose, the frame needed to support the decking and the overall size of the decked area. At F.B & Sons, Lawns & Landscapes, we offer competitively priced decking quotes to our customers. Contact us today for your free no obligation quote.

How long does decking last?

The length of time decking lasts will depend on how well it's taken care of and the materials used to construct the area. Some decking installations can easily last between 10 and 15 years when well cared for and maintained. Composite decking boards are expected to last for around 20 years+ and require almost no maintenance.

Do you need planning permission for decking?

Most decking installations will fall under permitted development and won’t require planning permission for installation. However, if your decking is more than 30cm above the original ground level, then we advise you to check with your local authority first.

What should the gap between decking boards be?

When it comes to installing decking, most decking boards are situated with a gap of between 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch. Leaving a gap between your decking boards allows it to breathe and it also supports drainage and cleaning efforts as well.

What is hardwood decking and what should I choose it?

Hardwood decking is a durable type of decking that is made up from woods from climates that are either deciduous or tropical. Hardwood decking is extremely easy to look after and usually just needs a fresh coat of oil every years to keep it looking great. We always recommend using something like a linseed oil.
