Hedge Trimming Central Coast & Lake Macquarie
Hedge Trimming Central Coast & Lake Macquarie
Neat hedges can completely change the look of a property. Whether they frame the front yard, create privacy around the backyard, or tidy up a driveway or boundary fence, properly maintained hedges make a home look cleaner, sharper and better cared for.
At MD Lawns & Property, we provide professional hedge trimming across the Central Coast and Lake Macquarie for residential and regular property maintenance clients. We help with everything from light shaping and regular maintenance through to larger reductions where hedges have become too tall, too wide or difficult to manage.
Many hedges grow quickly through spring and summer, especially common varieties like Lilly Pilly, Murraya, Viburnum, Photinia and other screening plants. If they are left too long, they can block paths, grow over fences, reduce sunlight, and make the property look messy from the street.
We trim with care so the hedge keeps its shape, density and overall health. The aim is not just to cut it back quickly, but to leave a clean, even finish that suits the size of the property and the style of the garden.
We can also combine hedge trimming with lawn mowing, yard cleanups and rubbish removal if the whole property needs a tidy-up at the same time.

Regular hedge trimming helps maintain privacy, improve street appeal and prevent hedges from becoming difficult or expensive to manage. Keeping hedges trimmed little and often generally produces a denser, healthier and more attractive result.

We provide hedge trimming throughout the Central Coast including San Remo, Blue Haven, Hamlyn Terrace, Woongarrah, Warnervale and Wadalba.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Most hedges benefit from trimming every 6–12 weeks during the warmer growing season. Slower-growing hedges may only need a few trims per year, while fast-growing privacy screens often need more regular maintenance.
Do you remove hedge clippings?
Yes. We can place clippings in your green bin or remove green waste from site for an additional disposal fee, depending on the size of the job.
Can you reduce the height of an overgrown hedge?
Yes. We regularly reduce overgrown hedges to a more manageable height. The best approach depends on the hedge variety, how much leaf growth is available and how hard it can safely be cut back.
What types of hedges do you trim?
We commonly trim Lilly Pilly, Murraya, Viburnum, Photinia, Box hedges, native screening plants and mixed garden hedges.
Can hedge trimming be done with lawn mowing?
Yes. Hedge trimming can often be combined with lawn mowing, edging, yard cleanups or green waste removal so the whole property is tidied in one visit.
