When to Cut Hedges in Dorset
Timing matters for both the health of your hedge and compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which restricts cutting during nesting season (March to August for most species). Our experienced team advises on the optimal cutting schedule for each hedge species — whether box, privet, leylandii, yew or mixed native hedging — ensuring healthy growth and legal compliance.
Most formal hedges in Dorset benefit from cutting in late summer (August–September) and again in early spring. We build this into your maintenance schedule automatically.
