Tackling a 'high hedge' with a compact tractor hedge cutter

If there is a hedge on your property, the law around high hedges and hedge trimming provides you with a degree of responsibility to guarantee that it is properly maintained. This includes making sure that the hedge is kept tidy and at a suitable height, that the appropriate person maintains it, and that any trimming is done at the proper time of year so that it will not affect local wildlife.





What is a 'high hedge'?

Overly tall hedges have been the basis of so many neighbourly disputes that high hedge legislation was added to the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003: Part 8 in 2005. The legislation is very precise, but speaking generally it defines a ‘high hedge’ as any hedge over 2m (approximately 6¾ft) high; a group of two or more trees or shrubs; and formed wholly or mostly from evergreens or semi-evergreens. A decent compact tractor hedge trimmer can help you to keep your hedge at a satisfactory height.
