Drawing on many years’ experience as both a hedge contractor and course tutor, together with a First Class Honours degree in Environmental Science, Jeremy offers practical and informed advice on the management, restoration and long-term care of hedgerows.
Hedgerows are more than just boundaries. They provide habitat for wildlife, reveal the history of a landscape, shelter livestock, and contribute to local character. Advice can be provided on a wide range of management practices, including hedge laying, coppicing, trimming, planting, gapping up, and hedge-bank restoration.
Whether your priorities are farming, conservation, heritage, or education, we can help you understand, manage, and care for your hedges so that they can continue to thrive for many generations.
Hedge Surveys, Assessments and Management Plans
Understanding what you have is often the first step towards managing it well.
We can survey your hedgerows to assess their species composition, condition, structure, and management requirements. We provide practical recommendations tailored to your objectives and identify opportunities for restoration, enhancement, and future care.
Where appropriate, we can prepare a detailed hedgerow management plan, supported by colour-coded maps, setting out recommended works and timescales. We can also recommend experienced local contractors to carry out any necessary work.
