Hedge Cutting & Shelter Belt Trimming in Southland
Shelter belts and hedges are vital for Southland farms, protecting livestock from the weather and keeping paddocks productive. Dean Moore Excavation runs a tractor-mounted hedge cutter that trims shelter belts, farm boundary hedges, and road frontages quickly and tidily. Regular hedge cutting keeps your shelter belts healthy, stops them encroaching on productive land, and keeps road frontages clear for sightlines and council compliance. We work right across Southland, from Winton and Invercargill through to Gore, Lumsden, and the Te Anau basin.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to cut hedges?
Late winter to early spring (July–September), before bird nesting season, is ideal for most shelter belt species.
How high can you reach?
Our tractor-mounted cutter handles most farm shelter belts and boundary hedges. Get in touch with the height and length and we'll let you know what we can reach.
How often should shelter belts be trimmed?
Most Southland shelter belts benefit from a trim every one to two years. Regular cutting keeps them dense, healthy, and from spreading into paddocks or over fences.
Do you remove the cuttings?
We can chip and remove, chip-in-place, or leave for composting. Your choice.
