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.

Patio Installation Birmingham - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a patio?

The word patio is originally Spanish and it translates to courtyard, forecourt or little garden. A patio is an outside space that is designed to be used for things such as outdoor dining or entertainment. Most patio spaces are stoned, paved, concreted or cobbled.

Can you lay a patio in the rain?

If it is raining heavily, then you shouldn’t lay a patio. Laying a patio in heavy rain can cause issues with the structure. When wet cement will become too saturated, causing movement in the pavement slabs such as sinking. In addition to this, rain can wash the cement away and cause significant issues with the overall strength of the patio. We always aim to carry out patio installation in dry weather. Showers aren’t an issue for most patio installations, as we aim to use quick dry cement in colder conditions.

How much does it cost to lay a patio?

The cost of patio installation will depend on a number of factors such as the type of patio you require, whether it’s new or replacement, the material you choose and the overall size of the area. At F.B & Sons, we price all patios on an individual basis to ensure our customers get the best quote for their needs.

How do you clean a patio?

Most patios require very little maintenance to keep them looking great and the odd rinse and sweep should keep them looking as good as new. However, if you have left your patio unmaintained over the winter months, then weeds and grime can quickly build up. If this is the case, then a hose or jet wash will clean your patio. Remember that pressure around the joints should be avoided and only the actual slabs should be blasted.
