These are a classic type of hedge found in many UK gardens and bring structure, height and great looks to any outdoor space. Just look around at some of the UK’s beautiful gardens and National Trust sites for some examples of Beech hedges that have been around for a long time!
Of course, to get the full effect, you must look after your Beech hedges. One important job is knowing when to trim Beech hedge areas in your garden.
When to trim your Beech hedges.
The accepted wisdom around Beech hedge trimming is that late summer is the ideal time to do it. Many gardeners will choose to trim in August with this in mind. Giving your Beech hedges a once over then should see them keep their leaves over winter and give a great all-round look to your garden. For those who are looking for an ultra-neat and tidy look, you can also trim them in spring. If you choose to do this, make sure no birds are nesting in your hedge before trimming and check the first shoots are around 20cm long.
How do you trim a Beech hedge?
Trimming your Beech hedging will not only help it to stay in great shape all year but also keep your garden looking tidy. But how should you go about it? Many people now will use an electric hedge trimmer as this makes the job easier and quicker. When trimming off the floor, ensure any ladders you use are firmly in place and you are not stretching to reach where cutting is required. However, if you are not used to working this way great care is required to ensure nobody gets injured. There are a large number of accidents yearly via incidents with ladders whilst gardening and hedge trimming.
