North Devon, Exmoor, & Dartmoor

Contact Us

Hedges don’t stay neat on their own. Left unchecked, they quickly lose shape, block light and start to encroach on paths, roads and neighbouring spaces. Based in Barnstaple, our hedge trimming service across North Devon, Exmoor, and Dartmoor is designed to keep everything looking sharp, manageable and in good condition all year round.

At Evergreen, we take a straightforward approach – turn up when we say we will, carry out the work properly, and leave your space clean and tidy. From small garden hedges to long rural boundaries, every job is handled with care and attention to detail.

Hedge Cutting Across North Devon & Beyond

A large part of our hedge trimming work takes place across North Devon, where gardens, lanes and property boundaries rely heavily on well-maintained hedges.

We cover areas including Barnstaple, Braunton, Bideford, Ilfracombe and South Molton, helping keep everything from residential gardens to roadside hedges under control. Some jobs are quick tidy-ups, others involve tackling hedges that have been left too long and need more substantial work.

If a hedge has started to dominate your space or become difficult to maintain, we can step in, reduce it properly and make future upkeep much easier.

Hedge Trimming in Exmoor

Exmoor brings a different kind of hedge trimming altogether. Here, hedgerows often form part of the wider landscape, meaning the way they’re managed matters just as much as how they look.

We carry out hedge trimming across Exmoor for homes, farms and rural properties, taking into account the age of the hedge, surrounding wildlife and the time of year. It’s a more considered approach, but one that protects both the hedge and the environment it sits within.

Hedge Maintenance on Dartmoor

On Dartmoor, hedges are often larger, more exposed and sometimes harder to reach. Strong growth, uneven ground and long stretches of boundary hedging are all common here.

We’re used to working in these conditions, providing hedge trimming and cutting across Dartmoor in areas such as Okehampton, Tavistock and Ashburton. Whether it’s routine maintenance or a hedge that’s grown well beyond control, we have the equipment and experience to deal with it safely.

Thinking About New Hedges or Trees?

If your existing hedges need more than a trim, or you’re planning new planting, we also provide a dedicated hedge and tree planting service across North Devon, helping you choose species suited to your soil, sunlight and garden style, from dense privacy screens to wildlife-friendly hedgerows.

Planting and trimming work well together — a hedge planted properly and trimmed regularly from the start establishes faster and stays healthier for years to come.

FAQs

How much does hedge trimming cost?

The cost of hedge trimming depends on the size, height and condition of the hedge, as well as access. Smaller garden hedges are usually quick to sort, while larger or overgrown hedges take more time. Evergreen can provide a clear quote once the job has been assessed.

How often should a hedge be trimmed?

Most hedges benefit from trimming once or twice a year to keep them tidy and healthy. Faster-growing hedges, such as leylandii, may need more frequent cutting, while slower-growing varieties can usually be maintained less often.

Can you cut tall or difficult-to-reach hedges?

Yes, Evergreen can handle tall hedges and awkward access. Whether it is a high boundary hedge, a hedge on sloped ground or a roadside hedge, the team has the tools and experience to carry out the work safely.

What happens if my hedge has got out of control?

Evergreen can reduce overgrown hedges and bring them back into a more manageable shape. The best approach depends on the hedge type, as some species respond better than others to heavier cutting.

Do you work on rural hedges and long boundaries?

Yes, Evergreen regularly carries out hedge trimming on rural properties across North Devon, Exmoor and Dartmoor, including long stretches of hedging on farms, lanes and larger plots of land.

Will you tidy up afterwards?

Yes, hedge cuttings are cleared and removed as part of the service unless otherwise agreed. Evergreen leaves the area clean and ready to use once the hedge trimming work is finished.
