HEDGE TRIMMING
FORUDUNEDIN Lawn Mowing & Gardening provides professional hedge trimming Dunedin homeowners rely on, along with expert shaping services across the city. From front boundary hedges to large screening plants, every job is handled with care and precision by a reliable, fully insured professional. Healthy hedges start with consistent trimming and seasonal care.
Popular species across Dunedin, such as Griselinia, Pittosporum, Buxus, and Camellia, respond best to regular maintenance and light hedge pruning to encourage dense, healthy growth.
Although we specialise in hedge cutting and shaping, we also offer lawn mowing and edging, along with a range of garden maintenance services, including seasonal planting, hand-weeding, garden bed tidy-ups, pruning, and targeted weed spraying. We also provide small-to-medium tree removal, yard and section clean-ups, and rubbish removal services.
Below you’ll find our two main hedge care options: regular maintenance and long-reach trimming, ideal for general garden upkeep and taller or hard-to-access hedges around driveways, fences, and property boundaries.
Check out our before-and-after photo gallery showcasing recent hedge care services completed across St Clair, Andersons Bay, Mornington, and Mosgiel. You’ll see the difference professional trimming and cleanup can make in your property’s overall appearance.

How much do hedge trimming services cost in Dunedin City?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!Hedge trimming costs typically range from $250 to $1,200+ before GST, depending on size and condition.
All quotes are tailored to your property and confirmed after a brief site assessment. For a detailed breakdown, see our guide to hedge trimming prices in Dunedin.
What hedge species do you prefer to avoid?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!Our hedge care experts generally avoid working on a few species that are either difficult to manage or considered problem plants in Dunedin. These include Cupressus macrocarpa (Monterey Cypress) and Ilex aquifolium (English Holly), both known for their dense growth, spiky foliage, and invasive tendencies.
These species are often avoided because they can cause skin irritation, shed heavily, or grow too aggressively for routine trimming equipment. In some cases, they’re also classed as pest species in parts of Otago, meaning removal or specialised handling may be required instead of standard maintenance.
If you’re unsure about your hedge type, feel free to discuss it with our hedge-cutting team so we can advise the most suitable approach.
For more information on common hedge species found in Dunedin gardens and how they respond to trimming, see our guide to healthy hedge trimming practices in Dunedin City.
Do you remove hedge clippings from my property after completing the hedge trimming service?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!Yes, absolutely! Our greenery maintenance service includes optional green waste removal. Once the shaping or pruning is complete, clippings and debris can either be left neatly on-site for your compost bin or fully removed and transported to approved Dunedin green waste facilities.
The disposal fee is itemised separately in your quote to keep pricing transparent. Some customers choose to retain the waste for mulching or composting, while others prefer full removal for a tidy, low-effort finish. Either way, you decide what works best for your property.
Do you provide WINZ quotes for hedge maintenance services?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!Yes, WINZ quotes are available for all hedge care and greenery maintenance services. Simply let us know when you contact us if you need one, and our team will prepare an official written quote that meets the requirements of Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ).
