Five things to organise
Use this checklist to prepare a supplier brief. It is not an operating method.
- Measure hedge height, length and branch thickness from a safe location. Tell the supplier what you need to reach.
- Check for wires, hidden obstacles and wildlife. Arrange qualified help where the work cannot be completed safely from the ground.
- Ask about a suitable machine, power supply or batteries, and transport requirements.
- Compare hire with ownership if you trim frequently, or with a gardener’s complete service.
- Include clean-up and lawful green-waste disposal. Do not budget only for the time spent trimming.
This is a planning checklist. It is not a technical method or substitute for supplier instruction and professional advice.
