Hedge trimming by professionals
Hedge trimming in the Isarwinkel and south of Munich: formal hedges, privacy hedges and tall hedges – cut at the right time, clippings taken away.
Your hedge in shape – trimmed by our maintenance team
Every year a hedge grows a little further into the path, over the fence and upwards. If you don't want to or can't trim it yourself, leave it to us: we arrive with a hedge trimmer, ladder and trailer, cut cleanly to the line and take the clippings away with us.
Formal hedges
Yew, hornbeam, copper beech, privet: hedges with a crisp edge, meant to act as a green wall or a low border. We cut them slightly wider at the bottom than at the top, so the lower branches get light too and the hedge stays dense down to the ground.
Privacy hedges
Cherry laurel, thuja, false cypress and other fast-growing species along the boundary. Here the aim is mainly to keep the height and width in check before the hedge gets too close to the neighbour or the pavement.
Tall hedges and topiary
Hedges above head height, balls, cones and cubes: for this work a steady hand counts, because a badly cut outline stays visible for a long time. For tall crowns in the same garden we bring an aerial work platform if needed – more on this under garden maintenance.
When we trim your hedge
From 1 March to 30 September, section 39(5) of the Federal Nature Conservation Act protects nesting birds: during this period hard cut-backs, cutting down to the stump and clearing hedges are prohibited. A gentle shaping and maintenance cut that only removes the new growth remains permitted. And because nests are protected all year round, we check the hedge before every cut to see whether birds are nesting there.
This gives us our annual schedule: we do the shaping cut in early summer from the end of June, once the first brood is over, and once more in late summer if needed. A hard cut-back or the rejuvenation of a hedge that has grown too wide takes place between October and February. Those who enquire early in the year find it easiest to get their preferred date.
Once or every year
Either is possible – and the same team does both.
One-off job
You call, we look at the hedge and trim it on the agreed date. You don't need a maintenance contract for this.
As part of annual maintenance
If hedge trimming is part of your garden maintenance, we take care of the appointment ourselves – together with the lawn, beds and everything else the garden needs.
Clippings removal included
What is cut off, we rake up, load and take away. You don't need to deal with a green waste bin or a trip to the recycling centre.
Charges are based on the work involved: working hours, equipment and the amount of clippings in cubic metres. We give you a cost estimate beforehand – how long and high the hedge is, how easily both sides can be reached and how many clippings there will be are best assessed on site.
Where we trim hedges
Our maintenance team is based in Lenggries and covers the whole Isarwinkel around Bad Tölz, Wolfratshausen, Schäftlarn and Icking, as well as Pullach and Grünwald. If your garden is in between or a little further away, just ask.
Hedge trimming is handled by our maintenance department, which is organised as Fuchs Service GmbH. It is headed by Valentin Huber-Saffer; anyone who contacts him gets one dedicated contact for the whole garden.
Trim it yourself, replant or hand it all over
Would you rather keep your hedge in shape yourself? Our free guide Trimming hedges explains cutting shape, timing and tools. If you want a new hedge, you will find species, boundary distances and hedge elements under Privacy screening & hedges. And if you would like to put the whole garden in safe hands, read more under garden maintenance.
