⚠️ This hedge in Crook had grown so big the homeowner couldn’t see when pulling out of the driveway…

Full hedge reduction completed today in Crook ✂️🌿

This hedge had grown too high and was blocking visibility for the customer when pulling out onto a busy road. It needed bringing down to a safer, manageable height.

Reduced, shaped, and all cuttings cleared away leaving everything tidy 👍

If your hedges are getting out of control or blocking visibility, drop me a message and I’ll get them sorted.
