Hedge Maintenance · Angus
Looking for hedge cutting in Angus?
A well-kept hedge frames a garden, gives you privacy and shelters planting from Scotland's wind. Left too long, it shades out the border, creeps over the pavement and becomes far harder to bring back into shape. We trim, reduce and reshape hedges of all sizes for homes across Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perthshire — from a short beech boundary to long-established leylandii and privet that have grown well above head height and need bringing back under control safely.
The coastal strip from Carnoustie up to Montrose is windswept and salt-exposed, and shelter planting takes a beating over winter. Inland towards Forfar, Kirriemuir and the mouths of the Angus glens the ground is more sheltered and fertile, with substantial mature hardwoods and long-established beech and hawthorn boundaries that need regular management to stay dense rather than gappy at the base.
Rural Angus properties usually have good access for machinery, which keeps costs down on larger jobs — but they also bring more overhead line proximity, livestock fencing and roadside safety to plan around. Conservation areas in Montrose, Brechin and Kirriemuir and protected trees on older properties mean we still check with Angus Council before any tree work that might be restricted.
We cover Arbroath, Carnoustie, Forfar, Brechin, Kirriemuir, Montrose, Edzell, Friockheim and the villages in between, and you can read more about our wider work on our Angus page or the full hedge maintenance guide.

- Hedge cutting — Routine trimming of sides and tops to keep growth dense, even and within the boundary line, using sharp equipment for a clean finish rather than a torn one.
- Hedge reshaping and reduction — Bringing overgrown hedges back to a manageable height and width, re-establishing straight lines and tapered sides so light reaches the base.
- Regular maintenance visits — Scheduled cuts once or twice a year so the hedge never gets away from you, arranged to suit the species and how formal you want it to look.
- Full waste removal — All clippings raked up, collected and taken away, including from borders, paths and driveways.
Why Angus homeowners choose us
Hedge work looks simple until you are halfway along a fifty metre run trying to keep the top level. We are fully insured, work tidily around planting and paving, and take the time to get lines and tapers right so the hedge looks deliberate rather than merely shortened. We also know how hard to cut each species — beech, privet, laurel and conifer all respond very differently.
Typical Angus jobs: shelter belt and boundary tree maintenance on rural properties, long beech and hawthorn hedge reductions, and clearing neglected gardens back to usable lawn.

Reviews from our Facebook page
“Lee and team did a garden clearance for me after moving into a property with a pretty neglected garden, including a pretty hefty ivy growth on the back of the house. They did an absolutely cracking job of clearing all the growth, the ivy, some unexpected branch piles and taking away all the rubbish. Did in a day what would have taken me many days to do myself. Also got some great advice on the next steps of bringing the garden back to life.”
“Had Lee and team lay a patio and path. Work was done in a good manner and to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy and nothing was too much hassle. Thanks Mr McDonald.”
“I can’t recommend this landscaping business enough! They turned our overgrown garden into exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and left everything tidy when they finished. Great value for money and really friendly service – will definitely be using them again.”
