Hedge shaping to define clean, straight lines or flowing, informal forms.

Reshape overgrown hedges with staged pruning plans to encourage healthy regrowth.
Boundary and roadside hedge care, mindful of public pathways and visibility.

For broader garden support, we can combine hedge work with Garden Maintenance or a full Seasonal Tidy-Up.

Limitations & Specialist Requests

Large height reductions may need staging across seasons to avoid plant shock; we’ll advise on the safest approach.
We do not remove protected trees or hedgerows; if conservation or TPO restrictions apply, we’ll work within guidance.
Bird nesting season: We avoid disturbing active nests. If found, we’ll reschedule relevant sections.
Access limits: Extremely restricted or unsafe access (e.g., unstable banks, severe slopes) may require a bespoke plan.
Power line proximity or highways works might need permits or specialist partners; we can assist with planning.
We do not apply pesticides unless agreed and appropriate. For persistent weed issues at hedge bases, see our Weed Control service.

If your hedge needs specialist rejuvenation or you have complex site conditions, we’ll provide a tailored, transparent quote.

Pricing Guide

Hedge trimming prices vary based on:

Length, height, and thickness of the hedge.
Species and condition (e.g., slow-growing yew vs. vigorous laurel).
Access, parking, and working height requirements.
Shape complexity (formal hedges and topiary take longer).
Amount of waste to be removed.
One-off visit vs. ongoing hedge maintenance.

We can discuss hedge trimming prices per metre as a guide during quoting, but final costs depend on the on-site scope. For accurate pricing in Chaldon and across CR3, request a tailored estimate via Pricing or Get A Quote.

FAQs

How often should my hedge be trimmed?
Most hedges benefit from 1–3 trims a year depending on species and desired form. Fast-growing hedges may need more frequent attention; formal hedges typically require tighter intervals.
Can you reduce hedge height safely?
Yes. We assess species and condition first. We’ll reduce hedge height safely, often in stages to protect plant health and maintain coverage.
Do you take away the cuttings?
Yes. We collect and remove hedge cuttings as part of the service unless you prefer to compost them onsite.
What prep do I need to do before you arrive?
Please clear items near the hedge line (furniture, toys, cars) and ensure access and parking where possible. We can work around most layouts in Chaldon.
Can you reshape overgrown hedges?
We can reshape overgrown hedges with staged trimming and selective pruning to re-establish clean lines and encourage thicker growth.
Do you work during bird nesting season?
We follow best practice and legal guidelines. If active nests are found, we will avoid those sections and reschedule as needed.
Are formal hedges more expensive to maintain?
They can take longer due to precise shaping and clean finishes. We’ll outline timings and costs clearly in your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We serve Chaldon and the wider CR3 area. For broader coverage, see our Coverage page.
