Keeping things on the straight and narrow

Hedges are great. Drive around orchard, kiwifruit or lifestyle block areas and marvel at the rows upon rows of windbreaks, five metres and taller, straight and beautifully trimmed – but nobody has ever seen this tall man or his hedge clippers.

Short Top ’n’ Sides have the right equipment. A farmer by trade, Dave Legarth knows about land care and cultivation and has the equipment to bring those gnarly old trees into line, then when trimmed a couple of times a year even the roughest line of trees can take on a more orderly hedgerow appearance and enhance your whole property.

Alternatively older trees may just need cutting back to maintain their beauty or let in more light. Dave’s 200 horsepower Valtra tractor has been fitted out by NT Engineering in Whangarei especially for this work

and comprises a 12 metre boom, a variety of interchangeable blades, and subframe and guards for obvious safety so no job is too big.

Sorry, Dave doesn’t do residential work but he can make your lifestyle block, orchard or farm hedge row as tidy as any avenue in town and nothing says ‘home proud’ more than well-maintained hedges and trees.
