Hedges & Stumps

Upon personal reflection, I’ve decided I will be closing down my business.

As much as I love to be within nature as a circumstance and nature of the work involved.

I can no longer continue with a business that destroys nature just for financial / personal gain.

I’ve wrestled with these thoughts and continued to carry out my work with the upmost respect and care for nature for a while and feel I cannot continue.

Even with the greatest care and diligence I have stood by, the inescapable fact is it still causes harm.

Thank you to all the amazing clients that have supported me for the many years I’ve been in business.

I truly appreciate all the work, support and in some case friendships ❤️

That’s Hedges and Stumps done for this year.

Thank you to all my clients for the work and being amazing.
I’m very lucky to always work for wonderful clients.

Hope you all have an awesome Christmas and may 2026 be an amazing year 🙂

The 2026 diary is open and ready for all old and new clients 🙂

Here is a lovely post on another amazing clients personal page (hence the splodges on some of her details) from my last day of the year 🙂

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while and it’s a blast from the past!!

A few years back I worked in tandem with Ben Boyce of Tree Fellas fame, on a very over grown property at

It was literally a jungle!
Nothing was benefiting from the neglect!

Ben and his team came in and carried out a massive clearance of some very large, overgrown, damaged and receding Conifers.

I came in after and took care of the stumps.

The photos on this post unfortunately, don’t show the magnitude of the task the Tree Fellas had on their hands.
But.
They do show the stumps I had to tackle and how with proper management, some time, thought and the right people, anything is possible.

The owner of the property also sent some updates of some of the wildlife that now resides there.
A much wider variety than before which is an awesome result 🙂

Removal of a tired section of hedge row / Elders and grinding out the resulting stumps in Eaton Norwich.

This was carried out in preparation for the planting of some Cherry Laurel.

Before and after of the taming of an overgrown mixed hedge in Dickleburgh.

A before and after shot of a wild beast of a Pyracantha taken care of today Dickleburgh
Plus a close up to show the true gravity of the spikey beast 😁

The spec was:

Tame the spikey beast.
Bring in the side but leave as many berries for foragers for Winter.
Wrestle with my OCD to follow the lay of the land.

Dickleburgh Village

It’s been a busy few weeks and haven’t remembered to take any pictures.

It’s always nice to get a good review from a new client though 🙂

Harleston, Norfolk

A lovely few days in Somerleyton trimming a large Yew hedge.

A busy garden so this was the only section of it I could get a reasonable photograph of.

A touch windy in Pulham Market today!!

Luckily it was only a garden tidy up, bed clearance and removal of stumps for one of my regular clients.

Here some pictures of the bed clearance stump removal.

Also nice to get a lovely review from one of my Norwich, Norfolk clients 🫡

Unfortunately this hedge had started to recede quite badly and a part of it had died.

The client based in Halvergate , near Great Yarmouth requested that it be removed to allow her to replant.

Full removal, stumps ground, root system taken care off, full clear up and easy for replanting 🫡

A rather unruly removal carried out Norwich, Norfolk

It was originally planted a little close to a public footpath, a little neglected and was becoming an issue.
The roots at one end also began to interfere service cabling!

The owner of the property decided it was time for a chance of direction and opted to have it remove and replaced with a more manageable garden.

The laurel was removed after thorough nature checks, stumps ground out and all green waste removed.

Unfortunately had to remove a very unwell hedge this week Thorpe End Village Norwich, Norfolk

The usual checks / consideration for wildlife and once happy that it was uninhabited by birds, removal began and now the area is ready for re greening.
