At Russell's Landscaping & Maintenance, the well-being of local wildlife is paramount in all our groundskeeping practices. We are deeply committed to ensuring our work not only enhances the beauty of your garden but also protects its natural inhabitants.
When it comes to pruning hedges, trees, and shrubs, our approach is guided by a strong respect for the local ecosystem, particularly nesting birds.
We concentrate on extra growth trimming when possible, carefully assessing each plant to remove what's necessary while it has no impact on nesting. For heavier reductions, we schedule these between September and April, well outside the core bird nesting season.
We undertake site assessments on any hedge work within March – August prior to any light trimming.
Careful Plant Assessment: We understand that each hedge, tree, and shrub have their own unique growth cycle and needs. Our skilled team carefully assesses every plant before any cutting begins, ensuring that our techniques are tailored to its specific species and stage of development. We prune in line with the natural cycle of the plant, promoting healthy growth and maintaining its vitality for years to come.
Our cutting techniques are also intentionally designed with wildlife safety as a paramount consideration. By employing methods that often result in a closer trim, we actively encourage the development of denser foliage within hedges, providing enhanced shelter and crucial protection for various forms of wildlife.
While maintaining the aesthetic of your garden, we firmly believe this should be achieved in harmony with nature. Our seasonal approach to pruning is always carried out with wildlife safety at the forefront.
By choosing Russell's Landscaping & Maintenance, you're partnering with a team that not only delivers expert horticultural care but also prioritises the safety and preservation of your local wildlife.
