Depends on the species and condition. Griselinia, photinia and pittosporum take big reductions well; some conifers regrow more slowly from old wood. We'll tell you exactly what's safe before we cut.
Hedge Reduction · Auckland
Hedge reductions — bring a tall hedge back into shape.
Overgrown hedge taken too far? We reduce height and width on tall and heavily overgrown hedges across Auckland, then bring them back to a clean, easy-to-maintain shape.
What's included
Hedge reduction is a more involved job than a standard trim. We assess the species, work out how hard we can cut without damaging regrowth, and reduce height and width in stages where needed. Most clients are amazed how much light, view and street appeal a single reduction returns to the property.

FAQ
Hedge Reduction — common questions

Yes — reduction takes more time, more cleanup and more green waste removal. We'll send a fixed price after seeing photos, no surprises on the day.
For most residential hedges, no. Some boundary hedges are 'fences' under the Fencing Act — we'll flag it if there's anything you should discuss with the neighbour before we start.
