Hedges & pruning

Hedge trimming that keeps Moreton Bay gardens looking finished

Green Estates Gardening trims and prunes hedges across the Moreton Bay and Somerset regions: formal shaping, height reduction, screening hedges and shrub pruning. Visits are quoted at a fixed price, timed to the species and the season, and all clippings are removed.

A well-cut hedge does more for a property than almost anything else in the garden. Lilly pilly and murraya screens along a Burpengary boundary, clipped photinia at a Morayfield entrance, a row of box balls beside a North Lakes driveway: when the lines are crisp the whole place looks cared for, and when they are not it is the first thing a visitor notices.

We cut with sharp, well-maintained trimmers for a clean edge that heals quickly, shape by eye and string line for level tops, and time the heavier cuts so the plant pushes fresh growth rather than sulking. If a hedge has got away from you, we will tell you honestly whether it can be brought back in one visit or needs a staged reduction over a season.

What we trim

Hedge trimming Moreton Bay: the hedges we look after most

Lilly pilly & murraya screens

The workhorse privacy hedges of Caboolture, Narangba and Burpengary. Fast growers that need a firm cut two or three times a year to stay dense from the ground up.

Photinia, viburnum & duranta

Colourful feature hedges that respond well to shaping. We cut after each flush of growth so the new red or gold tips are what you see.

Natives, conifers & bougainvillea

Westringia, callistemon, grevillea, conifer and bougainvillea screens each need a different approach. We know which reshoot from old wood and which do not, and prune accordingly.

How we work

A hedge trimming visit, step by step

Assess and set the line

Check the species, the last cut and the shape you want, then set string lines for level tops and straight faces.

Cut sides first, then the top

Faces are cut slightly wider at the base so light reaches the lower leaves and the hedge stays full to the ground.

Clean up completely

Clippings raked from beds and lawn, paths blown down, green waste loaded and removed. The garden looks better than when we arrived.

FAQ

Hedge trimming Moreton Bay: frequently asked questions

When is the best time of year to trim hedges in South-East Queensland?

For most common Moreton Bay hedges (lilly pilly, murraya, photinia, viburnum, duranta) the main shaping cut is best in early spring, with lighter tidy-ups through summer and a final trim in autumn. Avoid hard cuts in the middle of a heatwave or right before a frost in the Somerset valleys. A twice- or three-times-a-year schedule keeps a hedge dense without stressing it.

Can you reduce the height of an overgrown hedge?

Usually, yes. Most hedging species tolerate a staged reduction: we take it down in one or two cuts across a season so the plant keeps enough leaf to recover and does not end up as bare sticks. Conifers and some natives do not reshoot from old wood, so we will tell you honestly what is achievable before we start.

Do you take the clippings away?

Always. Hedge trimming Moreton Bay wide includes raking, blowing down paths and garden beds and removing all green waste. You will not find a pile left by the fence.

How much does hedge trimming cost?

It depends on the length and height of the hedge, how long since it was last cut and access (ladders, slopes, neighbouring fences). A short front hedge in Morayfield is a quick job; a 40-metre boundary screen in Narangba that has not been touched in two years is not. We quote a fixed price after seeing the hedge or a couple of photos.

Do you trim hedges for body corporates and commercial properties?

Yes. We look after townhouse complexes, business parks and street frontages across North Lakes, Burpengary, Strathpine and Redcliffe on scheduled rounds, and we can combine hedging with lawn mowing and garden bed maintenance under one invoice.
