ABOUT ME

My name is Andy, I have been working in horticulture for over 10 years. I am a professional hedge cutter and topiary artist working mostly out of Rutland and surrounding areas. I am very fortunate to also have had the opportunities to travel across the UK.

​

My clipping takes me to some beautiful locations and gardens as I work on some small intricate topiary designs to some very large hedges and everything in between. A lot of my time is primarily spent working on Buxus, Hornbeam, Taxus, Beech, Ligustrum and Ilex. I really enjoy working on formal designs but also have a passion for organic shapes.

 

When working on topiary, I enjoy using the traditional method of hand clipping where appropriate as I find this allows an accurate clean finish as I am able to follow the contours of the design seamlessly. Where hand-clipping is not appropriate on larger hedges I use state of the art cordless hedge cutters and battery equipment to reduce noise and do my bit for the environment where I can.

 

I particularly enjoy using social media to showcase my work and answer any questions people have. Instagram is my preferred platform.
