Agreeing the finish on both sides
For a Howick or Pakuranga garden, explain what sits on each side of the hedge. A planted border, neighbour’s fence or narrow path can limit where the work is reached from. Send photos along the full length, including any section above a retaining wall.
At a property in Cockle Bay or another coastal pocket, describe how exposed the hedge is and which parts provide shelter. We can assess the desired reduction rather than assume every section can be cut back equally. Include driveway openings and the handling of clippings in the quote.
Coastal trees and inland gardens
Cockle Bay’s pōhutukawa were affected by coastal erosion in 2018. Council has also added trees to Howick’s parks and road reserves. Council sources
What we can help with
We trim hedge tops and sides to an agreed outline. Hedge cutting for regular maintenance is different from reducing an overgrown hedge: the species and existing foliage affect what can be achieved. Discuss the privacy you want to keep and what should happen to the clippings.

Can a hedge be trimmed without losing all its shelter?
Tell us which part provides shelter and the outline you want to retain. We can assess an appropriate cut based on the species, foliage and condition of the hedge.
Arrange a quote in East Auckland
Send the hedge’s approximate length and height, photos of both sides and a description of the access. Let us know whether this is a one-off cut or ongoing maintenance.
Include your address so we can discuss the property itself, not just the general conditions in the area.
