How Much Does Hedge Cutting Cost?

How Much Does Hedge Cutting Cost?

One of the most common questions we receive is how much it costs to have a hedge professionally trimmed. The honest answer is that every hedge is different, so quotations are based on the work involved rather than a fixed price list.

Several factors influence the overall cost, including the height and length of the hedge, how accessible it is, the amount of green waste produced and whether the work is a routine maintenance trim or a larger reduction.

What Affects The Cost?

The main factors include:

• Height of the hedge

• Length of the hedge

• Thickness and density

• Type of hedge

• Access for equipment

• Amount of waste produced

• Whether waste is removed

• Whether the hedge has been maintained regularly

A hedge that has been trimmed every year is usually much quicker to maintain than one that has been left for several years.

Hedge Trimming vs Hedge Reduction

There is a big difference between trimming a hedge and reducing it.

A maintenance trim normally involves removing the current year's growth to keep the hedge neat and healthy.

A hedge reduction is much more labour intensive and involves lowering the height or reducing the width, often creating significantly more green waste and requiring additional time and equipment.

Why Regular Maintenance Saves Money

Regular hedge maintenance helps prevent hedges becoming overgrown and difficult to manage.

Annual trimming usually keeps costs lower because less material needs to be removed and the hedge remains in good condition.

Leaving a hedge for several years often results in a much larger job that takes longer to complete.
