Home › Hedge Maintenance › Hoddesdon
Estate boundary hedges here are frequently the original planting, now three or four times the height they were meant to be. Older town gardens more often have walls than hedges, so where there is a hedge it tends to be an internal one and a smaller job.
This page is about hedge maintenance here specifically — the ground, the plots and the access that shape how the work is done, in a town where two completely different kinds of garden in one town, and the right approach depends which you are in.

What Hoddesdon Ground Does to a Hedge
Hedges here grow on valley gravel to the east and clay on the higher western side, and a hedge follows its soil more closely than most people expect. On valley gravel to the east and clay on the higher western side the growth rate, and with it the right cutting cycle, is set before anybody picks up a trimmer.
The Hedges on Hoddesdon Boundaries
The hedges we cut here sit among tight historic plots in the old centre sitting alongside large post-war estate gardens, with quite different problems in each. That decides whether a hedge is a garden feature to be kept crisp or a boundary doing serious work, and on tight historic plots in the old centre sitting alongside large post-war estate gardens, with quite different problems in each those two want different regimes rather than the same one at different frequencies.
Cutting Hedges in Hoddesdon
Access here is good on the estates, poor around the older centre, which matters on hedge work mainly because of the volume — a hard reduction produces several times the clippings of an annual cut, and where access is good on the estates, poor around the older centre all of it has to reach the vehicle by hand. The point to raise early is that two completely different kinds of garden in one town, and the right approach depends which you are in.
Timing a Hoddesdon Hedge Cut
Hedges hold nests from roughly March to August, so a hard reduction among tight historic plots in the old centre sitting alongside large post-war estate gardens, with quite different problems in each is planned for the months either side of that. On valley gravel to the east and clay on the higher western side the growth is quick enough that an annual cut holds its line, which is a far cheaper habit than a rescue every five years.
