Gardens in Meath

Much of south and east Meath has grown quickly, and many newer estates now have boundary hedges and trees that were planted as small saplings and have since taken off. Further out, rural homes often sit on big sites with long field boundaries, shelter belts and mature trees.

Whether it's a hedge that needs bringing back down to size, a tree that's grown too close to the house, or a big garden that needs regular attention, we'll plan the job around your site and leave it tidy.

Estate hedges that took off

Leylandii, laurel and griselinia planted along estate boundaries grow quickly. After a few years without cutting they can block light and spread across paths. Regular trims keep them dense and manageable; a harder reduction can bring an overgrown hedge back.

Rural sites and shelter belts

One-off houses often have long lines of conifers planted for shelter. As they mature they can get top-heavy and shade the garden. We can reduce, thin or remove them in sections where they're close to buildings.

Roadside boundaries

If your boundary runs along a public road, you're responsible for keeping the hedge from becoming a hazard. Heavier cutting of roadside hedgerows is restricted from 1 March to 31 August, so plan bigger jobs for autumn and winter.

Heritage towns and protected trees

Meath County Council manages Tree Preservation Orders and Architectural Conservation Areas, including in some historic town centres. If you think a tree might be protected, check with the council's planning department before work is booked.

FAQs

Questions from Meath customers

Do you cover all of County Meath?

Send us your Eircode or town and we'll confirm straight away. If a job is outside our usual area we'll tell you honestly.

Can you deal with a long row of tall conifers?

Yes. Depending on how close they are to the house and how tall they've grown, they can be reduced in height, thinned or removed in sections. Photos of the full row and the space around it help us quote.

When is the best time to cut a big boundary hedge?

Autumn and winter, between September and February, is best for heavy cutting. In spring and summer, hedges need to be checked for nesting birds and cuts kept light.
