Tree and Shrub Planting, Maintenance, or Removal
Found Sharp Hedges on Bark when I needed someone to sort my garden out. It was really overgrown with loads of shrubs and just got too much for me.
He came round and done a really good tidy up, everything looked so much better after.
We’ve now set up a plan for him to come 4 times a year to keep on top of it. He turns up when he says and gets stuck in, no messing about. Can’t fault the service, would defo recommend.

Had a big row of conifers that were far too tall and starting to take over. Joe came out and did a cracking job reducing the height and width.
Exactly what we wanted garden looks miles better and there’s loads more light now.
He turned up on time, got stuck in, and left everything neat and tidy. Fair price too. Would happily have him back for more work.

What do you love most about your job?
I like working outdoors and seeing the results of a job well done - whether it’s taking down a tree safely or leaving a garden looking tidy and fresh. I get to meet good people, do honest work, and take pride in what I leave behind. That’s what it’s all about for me.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’d been doing tree work and garden jobs for a while and decided I wanted to build something for myself. I was confident in the quality of my work and wanted to offer people a reliable, fairly priced service without the usual nonsense. Sharp Hedges is about doing a proper job and taking pride in the result.
Why should our clients choose you?
I’m fully qualified, insured, and take real pride in what I do. Whether it’s a hedge trim, tree removal, or general garden work, it’s done safely and to a high standard. I do all the work myself, so you know exactly who’s turning up and that the job’s getting done properly. You deal with me from start to finish - no middlemen, no pushy upselling, and no inflated prices.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can’t carry out the physical work remotely, but - if possible, I’m happy to give estimates through WhatsApp, email, or over the phone if you can send photos and a bit of info about the job. It’s a good way to save time and get an idea of cost before a visit.
Crown Lift
If you want the crown of your tree to be higher, or to let more light through to other plants below, a crown lift may be what you need.
By removing your tree’s lower branches, the canopy climbs higher, which helps to limit the extent of the shadow it casts on other plants nearby.
Crown Thinning/Deadwooding
While it may seem a touch counterintuitive, sometimes the best way to support your tree’s growth is to make sure its canopy doesn’t get too big with crown thinning.
By removing dead branches and wood and pruning cross branches, you can decrease the size of the tree’s canopy, which serves several purposes.
Crown Reduction & Reshaping
Performed to reduce the height and spread of a tree by cutting back branches to reduce the size of the crown, typically by 20-30%. This is normally done to decrease “wind-loading” on the tree which helps prevent crown damage and breakages.
Felling
Simply put, this is the process of tree removal
Depending upon the location and species of the tree or trees you need to remove, it may be best to take them apart in pieces.
Stump Grinding/Removal
Once felled, the next step is often to get rid of the stump of the tree and any roots.
Stump grinding is more or less what it sounds like, grinding down a stump to remove the unprepossessing obstacle from a landscape.
This is a relatively simple and non-disruptive procedure.
Pollarding
Pollarding is a method of pruning that keeps trees and shrubs smaller than they would naturally grow. It is normally started once a tree or shrub reaches a certain height, and annual pollarding will restrict the plant to that height.
