Mermaid Beach has more formal hedging per street than almost anywhere else we work. Along Hedges Avenue and the streets running back from it, hedges are doing architectural work, screening a frontage, squaring off a boundary, holding a clean horizontal line against a very modern house.
A hedge like that is judged on its edges. It needs cutting to a line rather than just being tidied, and it needs doing often enough that it never has a scruffy fortnight, because at this end of the coast the front garden is part of the building.

Common questions
How often do formal hedges need cutting in Mermaid Beach?
More often than most people expect. To keep a genuinely sharp architectural line through the growing season you are looking at every six to eight weeks. Twice a year gets you a green wall, not a formal hedge.
Does the salt air affect hedges this close to the beach?
It does. The seaward face burns and browns off first, and sandy soil drains nutrients away quickly. We factor that into how hard we cut and will flag when a hedge needs feeding rather than just trimming.
