Whether it's a boxwood hedge, cedar hedge, or dense native boundary, our experienced team ensures a clean, crisp result every time.

Hedge Maintenance Plans

We offer personalised hedge trimming maintenance plans at intervals, depending on your hedge type, growth rate and preferred look.
These are popular with long-term clients who rely on us to keep things looking perfect, year-round.

An eye for detail

We maintain hedges for clients along Arney Road, Lucerne Road, Remuera Rd and Paritai Drive. If you're familiar with these streets you'll know they're famous for their beautiful frontage. We have a thing for perfect lines and curves.

We Clean Up, Too

You’ll never be left with a mess. We remove all branches and debris, then rake and blow the area down to leave your place spotless.

Fast, Safe & Experienced

We’re members of Site Safe, IMPAC, and NZArb, and we bring 44+ years of combined experience to every job. Our team works efficiently because we know what we’re doing. We never cut corners – just hedges.

Hedge Trimming At Height Is Serious Business

Working at height — whether it’s on ladders, platforms, or steep sections — carries real risk. At Urban Arborists, we prioritise safety and care on every job, no matter how routine it might seem.

We’re fast because we’re experienced, not because we cut corners. As certified members of Site Safe, IMPAC, and the New Zealand Arboricultural Association, we follow strict safety protocols and carry $5 million in public liability insurance for complete peace of mind. Whether it’s a tall hedge on a slope or tight access in a backyard, we’re equipped and trained to do it right — safely and professionally.

Consider Regular Hedge Trimming for Optimal Results

Auckland's perfect combination of humidity, rain and light results in fast-growing hedges. Regular maintenance ensures that your hedges grow healthier, and fill out where you want them to.

Regular hedge cutting:

Encourages dense, leafy growth
Maintains symmetry and shape
Prevents exposure of unsightly bare wood
Keeps annual costs down with less drastic cutting

We offer hedge trimming maintenance plans at regular intervals to suit your specific hedge species, your preference, and your budget.

Hedge Trimming and Hedge Maintenance FAQs

It depends on:

Height and length of your hedge

Access and equipment needed

Frequency and intricacy of shaping

Regular trims (every 3–6 months) reduce overall costs. Left too long, overgrown hedges may need heavier cutting, which can expose woody interiors and create gaps. The average hedge trimming job in Auckland ranges from $400–$1200.

We’re happy to provide a free quote.
Most hedges benefit from trimming every 3–6 months, depending on the species and weather. Fast growers may need frequent care, while slow growing hedges can take longer between hedge trimmings.
