Regular trims keep hedges dense
A hedge trimmed once or twice a year grows tight and green; one left for three years goes leggy and bare in the middle — and hard pruning to recover it takes seasons. Regular light trims are cheaper, faster and keep the hedge looking its best year-round.
Overgrown or over-height? There's a plan for that
Big reductions get staged so the hedge stays healthy — cut too hard in one go and some species never come back. Andy will tell you straight what your hedge can take, do the reduction properly, and cart every branch away.
Hedges are usually part of a bigger picture — pair trimming with gardening rounds or lawn mowing, or start with a full yard cleanup if the whole section's overgrown.
Streb covers the whole city and surrounds — from the CBD to the Port Hills, Selwyn and Waimakariri. See the full service area.

Common questions
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Once or twice a year for most Christchurch hedges — typically late spring and again in late summer. Fast growers like privet and lonicera may want a third visit.
Can you reduce a hedge that's gotten too tall?
Yes — height reductions are common. Big cuts get staged over seasons where the species needs it, so the hedge recovers dense and green rather than bare and brown.
What happens to all the clippings?
They're raked, loaded and gone the same day — the tip run is part of the job, not an extra you have to organise.
