Banstead gardens often rely on strong hedging for privacy and structure, especially around Banstead High Street and the lanes leading towards Nork Park. We trim, shape and reduce hedges to suit the look of your property and the way you use the space. Whether you want a smart frontage or a softer, informal screen, we cut with plant health and future growth in mind. We also clear up thoroughly so paths and driveways are left tidy.
Our team works regularly across SM7, where large detached houses, 1930s properties and executive homes often have long boundary runs and established planting. Mature hedges can quickly outgrow their space, shade lawns or block sightlines at entrances. We tailor cutting heights and profiles to complement the architecture and keep gardens manageable. If you’re in Nork, Burgh Heath or near Tattenham Corner, we’ll plan access and waste removal to minimise disruption.
We start with a quick assessment of species, condition and desired finish, then agree a clear scope before any cutting begins. Work is carried out with professional equipment, careful line-setting, and sensible pruning points to avoid stress and dieback. We protect beds, sweep hard surfaces, and remove clippings as standard. Homeowners choose us for consistent results, straightforward communication, and a finish that lasts.
In the hedge trimming Banstead area, exposed spots near Banstead Downs can push fast, uneven growth and wind-scorch on conifers. Many SM7 homes have long front boundaries and shared access, so we plan safe working zones and keep pavements clear. We’re mindful of local waste and disposal requirements and can advise on timing around nesting birds. The result is a neat finish that suits Banstead’s downland setting and larger plots.

Most hedge trimming in Banstead is priced at around £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, species (especially conifers), and access for ladders or platforms. Typical total costs are often £80–£300 for an average garden, but longer boundary runs or heavy reductions can increase this. We’ll confirm an itemised estimate after a quick look at the hedge and the finish you want.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, which covers trimming, shaping, and a proper tidy-up. Time varies with hedge length, height, density, and whether you want a light maintenance cut or a reduction. Access matters too—tight side passages, steps, or delicate planting can slow the pace. If there are multiple hedges (front and rear), we’ll schedule the work to keep disruption minimal.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming in Reigate and Banstead Borough doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is in a conservation area, if a hedge is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, or if the hedge forms part of a boundary with specific covenants. We also work around wildlife law, avoiding disturbance to nesting birds. We’ll flag any potential issues before starting.

For trimming, our guarantee covers the quality of the cut, agreed shape/lines, and thorough clean-up to the specification we confirm with you.

We can maintain crisp formal hedges (flat tops, straight faces), softer informal hedges, and detailed hedge shaping to suit entrances and borders. Popular choices in SM7 include box-style lines for front gardens, tapered profiles for taller boundaries, and careful conifer trimming to keep density without browning. We’ll recommend the best approach based on species, light levels, and how much height or width you want to keep.
