Hedge Trimming
Auckland
Keep your property looking sharp with expert hedge trimming and shaping.
Urban Arborists specialise in hedge trimming across Auckland. From neat boundary lines to feature hedging, we maintain hedges of all shapes and sizes.
What We Do
Hedges are a great way to enhance your outdoor space. They provide privacy, structure, and greenery—but they need care to stay in shape.
At Urban Arborists, we trim everything from small shrubs to large, established hedging. Whether it's a boxwood hedge, cedar hedge, or dense native boundary, our experienced team ensures a clean, crisp result every time.
Personalised Hedge Maintenance Plans
We offer custom hedge trimming maintenance plans at 3, 6, or 12-month intervals, depending on your hedge type, growth rate and preferred look.
These are popular with long-term clients who rely on us to keep things looking perfect, year-round.
An eye for detail
We maintain hedges for clients along Arney Road, Lucerne Road, Remuera Rd and Paritai Drive. If you're familiar with these streets you'll know they're famous for their beautiful frontage. We have a thing for perfect lines and curves.
We Clean Up, Too
You’ll never be left with a mess. We remove all branches and debris, then rake and blow the area down to leave your place spotless.

Hedge Trimming and Hedge Maintenance FAQs
It depends on:
-
Height and length of your hedge
-
Access and equipment needed
-
Frequency and intricacy of shaping
Regular trims (every 3–6 months) reduce overall costs. Left too long, overgrown hedges may need heavier cutting, which can expose woody interiors and create gaps. The average hedge trimming job in Auckland ranges from $400–$1200.

Most hedges benefit from trimming every 3–6 months, depending on the species and weather. Fast growers may need frequent care, while slow growing hedges can take longer between hedge trimmings.
Absolutely—we specialise in detailed shaping including box hedge topiary and geometric lines
Yes, we leave your site immaculate—raked, blown, and waste-free.
