    Professional Tree and Hedge Maintenance You Can Rely On

    Hedge maintenance covers shaping, maintenance pruning and disease prevention, done year-round so your hedges and small trees stay neat, healthy and safe. A well-maintained hedge frames a garden; a neglected one grows leggy and woody and is far harder to bring back. Tree Wise Tree Felling has spent more than 15 years maintaining gardens across Gauteng.

    Every job starts with a free on-site assessment and a fixed written quote, so you know exactly what the work costs before we begin. Whether it is a one-off reshape or regular maintenance visits through the year, our team works carefully and leaves the garden tidy.

    Signs Your Hedge Needs Attention

    Hedges tell you when they are struggling. These are the usual signs it is time to call in a maintenance team.

    Overgrown and losing shape

    A hedge that has grown past its intended shape needs a proper cut back, not a light trim.

    Leggy, woody growth

    Sparse leaves on bare woody stems mean the hedge has not been pruned often enough.

    Dead or brown patches

    Patches of dead growth can signal disease, pests or root problems that need attention.

    Branches encroaching

    Growth pushing over pathways, driveways and boundary walls becomes a nuisance and a hazard.

    Pests visible

    Insect infestations spread quickly along a hedge and are easiest to deal with early.

    Over a year since the last cut

    Most hedges benefit from at least one professional maintenance visit a year.

    How We Maintain Trees and Hedges

    A careful process that keeps hedges neat, healthy and safe all year round.

    Shaping

    Hedges are cut to a clean, even shape that suits the species and the garden, with sharp tools for a tidy finish.

    Maintenance pruning

    Dead, diseased and crossing branches are removed to keep plants healthy and promote dense growth.

    Disease prevention

    We look for early signs of disease and pests on every visit and advise on treatment before problems spread.

    Year-round care

    Maintenance through the seasons, timed to how each species grows.

    Owner supervised

    The owner is on site to supervise the work from start to finish, and the garden is left tidy.

    Hedge Maintenance FAQs

    How much does hedge maintenance cost?
    Tree and hedge maintenance is R300 per hour. How long the work takes depends on the length and height of the hedge and how much growth needs to come off, so every job starts with a free on-site assessment and a fixed quote.
    How often should a hedge be trimmed?
    Most hedges need a trim at least once a year, with fast-growing species benefiting from two or more. We advise a schedule that suits the species in your garden, because regular visits keep a hedge dense, neat and easy to manage.
    What is the difference between trimming and maintenance pruning?
    Trimming keeps a hedge or small tree neat and shaped, while maintenance pruning removes dead, diseased or badly placed branches for the health of the plant. We do both as part of a maintenance visit, with the same care we bring to our tree trimming service.
    Can you maintain trees as well as hedges?
    Yes. Our team also does maintenance pruning on small trees, and for large trees that need crowning or thinning, or have to come down entirely, we bring the same care to tree felling and removal.
    Do you clear away the clippings?
    Yes. All clippings and green waste are cleared from the property and the garden is left tidy. Call 076 231 4998 for a free quote.
