Battersea gardens often rely on hedges for privacy and structure, especially around Battersea Park and the busier streets near Clapham Junction. We trim and shape hedges to suit the property and the light levels, keeping growth dense without looking harsh. Whether you want a sharp, formal edge or a relaxed informal outline, we’ll leave it even and balanced. We also handle reductions where hedges have crept into paths or windows.
Our team works across Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and luxury new builds in Nine Elms and around Battersea Power Station. These gardens can be compact, with boundaries close to neighbours, so accuracy matters. We’re used to access constraints, shared side returns and delicate planting beds that sit right under hedge lines. The result is hedge trimming Battersea area homeowners can rely on for clean lines and considerate working.
We start with a quick assessment of species, height, nesting risks and the shape you want to maintain. Cuts are made with sharp, professional equipment for a tidy finish, then we rake, bag and remove all green waste. You’ll get clear recommendations for ongoing regular maintenance so the hedge stays thick and manageable. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally because we turn up on time, protect your property, and leave the garden looking sharper than we found it.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, parking and access can be tight, particularly around SW11 and Queenstown. We plan tool load-in, protect communal areas, and work efficiently in smaller courtyard gardens. Battersea’s mix of older brick boundaries and modern landscaping means we adjust techniques to avoid scuffing walls, fences and paving. We also stay mindful of nearby neighbours when positioning ladders and handling cuttings.

Most hedge trimming in Battersea is priced at around £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, species and access. Small, straightforward trims may sit near the lower end, while tall conifers, heavy reductions or awkward access can increase the rate. Typical total costs are commonly £80–£300 for many SW11/SW8 gardens, including tidy-up and green-waste removal.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on hedge length, height and the amount of shaping or reduction required. A light maintenance trim on a manageable hedge can be completed quickly, while conifer hedges or long boundaries may take longer to cut evenly and clear up properly. Access (narrow side returns, steps, shared paths) and the need for careful protection of beds also affects timings.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and shaping is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, there are important exceptions, such as work on protected trees/hedges within conservation areas, or if a hedge forms part of a boundary with specific restrictions. We’ll flag any concerns before starting and can advise on checks relevant to hedge trimming in London Borough of Wandsworth, including nesting birds and seasonal considerations.
