The Work
Leylandii height reduction in Hornsey
Conifers Topped across Hornsey and the streets around it. What follows is how the job runs wherever we are; what changes from one Hornsey address to the next is access, and that is what we come and look at before quoting.
Conifers do not regrow from brown wood. Cut one back past the green and it stays brown, which is how so many screens end up with a bare panel that never fills in.
So we take the height off and leave enough green growth on the face for the hedge to carry on looking like a hedge. If a screen has already been cut too hard, we will tell you that before quoting rather than after.
- Height reduction to an agreed level
- Faces cut back only as far as the green growth allows
- Honest advice where a screen has already been cut past recovery
- Arisings chipped and cleared
What We Do
What conifers topped covers
The parts of the job, and what each of them is actually for.
Look at the green
We check how deep the live growth runs, which sets how far back the hedge can safely be cut.
Agree a height
You pick the finished height. We say whether the screen will still look like one at that height.
Top and face
The height comes off first, then the faces are brought in to the live growth.
Clear down
Everything chipped and the base raked out.
The Price
Conifers Topped costs in Hornsey
How much height is coming off, and how far the green runs down the face, both change the job, and the depth of green has to be checked by hand. So conifer work is quoted on site, free, with no obligation to book.
- Run length and how much height is coming off.
- Working height, and whether a platform is needed.
- How much material comes down, since conifer brash fills a chipper quickly.
- Whether the faces are being brought in as well as the top.
Why Choose Us
Why Hornsey calls us back
The price comes after we have seen it
Access decides most of what a tree job costs, and you cannot see access down a phone line. Someone comes and looks, then you get a figure in writing that does not move on the day.
We finish the job the same day we start it
The chipper runs alongside the cutting, so there is no stack of brash left by the gate waiting on a second visit.
Trees and grounds from one team
The same crew fells the tree, washes the patio it was dropping on, and lays the turf afterwards. You are not chasing three different trades to finish one garden.
You are told when something is a bad idea
Conifers cut past the green never recover. Gravel over bare soil sinks. Where a job will not give you what you are hoping for, we say so before quoting, not after.
You do not pay until you are happy with it
No deposit up front, and nothing asked for until the work is finished and you have checked it over. There is a fourteen day cooling off period on top of that.
