At CS Gardens Surrey, we specialise in the traditional art of topiary, transforming ordinary hedges and shrubs into striking features that enhance any garden. Whether you prefer timeless shapes such as spheres, cones, and spirals, or more creative designs, our team combines horticultural knowledge with precision cutting to deliver beautiful results. Topiary is more than just trimming — it’s garden craftsmanship.
We work with a variety of plants ideally suited to topiary, including boxwood, yew, holly, and laurel, ensuring that each species is pruned and maintained in the way that best supports its health and structure. Using professional-grade tools and safe working practices, we achieve crisp, clean lines and elegant finishes that last throughout the growing season.
Regular maintenance is key to keeping topiary looking its best. Our gardeners provide scheduled care to ensure your designs remain sharp, balanced, and dense. We can also rejuvenate older or neglected topiary, carefully reshaping plants to restore their original form or create a fresh new design that suits your outdoor space.
To support plant health, we incorporate treatments such as targeted feeding, pest management, and the responsible use of fungicides or pesticides where appropriate. This ensures your topiary not only looks stunning but also thrives year after year. If you’re looking to add character and elegance to your garden, our bespoke topiary services provide the perfect solution.
