How we work

Site visit
We look at the hedges and plants, identify the species and decide the shape and height with you. The site visit is free.
Timing and quote
We propose the right time of year for each species and a written quote, with branches and disposal as a separate item.
Trimming and pruning
The team uses the right tools for each plant: hedge trimmers for formal hedges, hand cuts for shrubs and fruit trees.
Clean-up
We collect the branches, clean the beds and paths and let you know when the next visit is due.

Every species has its own cut

A cherry laurel hedge, a privet hedge and an apple tree are not pruned the same way or in the same month: some species flower on the previous year's wood, others tolerate hard cutting, others still go bare at the base if they are trimmed badly. Verde Vercelli identifies the species at the site visit and decides technique and timing plant by plant, so the hedge stays dense from the bottom up, the shrubs flower and the fruit trees bear fruit. For tall trees, where needed, the pruning is done by tree climbing.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we are asked most often

When should hedges be trimmed?

It depends on the species: Verde Vercelli sets the timing plant by plant, usually with one main cut and a tidy-up during the growing season. The dates go into the quote or into the scheduled maintenance calendar.

Do you prune fruit trees too?

Yes. Verde Vercelli prunes the fruit trees of gardens in Vercelli and across the province at the right time for each species, to keep the tree balanced and productive.

Can an overgrown hedge be brought down?

Often, yes, with gradual reduction: Verde Vercelli assesses at the site visit how much cutting the species can take and, if needed, spreads the reduction over several seasons so the hedge is not left bare.
