Chislehurst gardens often rely on strong hedge lines for privacy and kerb appeal, especially around BR7. Whether you’re near Chislehurst Common or walking distance from St Nicholas Church, a well-trimmed hedge makes a big difference to light, access and the look of your frontage. We handle everything from quick tidies to full hedge reductions. All clippings are collected and removed, leaving paths and borders spotless.
With large detached houses, Victorian villas and period properties common locally, hedges in Chislehurst are frequently mature and tall. We’re used to long boundaries, deep front gardens and side access constraints, including properties towards Elmstead and Mottingham. Our team brings the right ladders, platforms and tools to keep work safe and controlled. If your hedge has become overgrown or uneven, we’ll restore a clean line without shocking the plant.
We start with a quick assessment of species, height, width and any weak or bare sections. Then we agree the finish—formal, informal, or a reduction—before making precise cuts that encourage dense regrowth. We protect lawns, beds and paving during the job, and we leave your garden tidy at the end of the visit. Homeowners book us for reliable hedge trimming chislehurst area service, clear communication and consistent results.
We work across the London Borough of Bromley and understand the mix of exposed edges and sheltered plots around Chislehurst Common. Access and parking can vary on residential streets, so we plan equipment and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many BR7 properties have long boundary hedges and mature conifers, which need careful staging for an even finish. We also time cuts around nesting season and advise on species-specific trimming windows.

Most hedge trimming in Chislehurst is priced at around £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, species (especially conifers), and access. Typical total costs are often £80–£300 for a standard garden hedge, with larger boundary runs or significant reductions costing more. We’ll confirm the scope first, including waste removal, so you know what’s included before we start.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the hedge length, height, and whether you want shaping, reduction, or a straightforward trim. Dense conifers and tall boundaries take longer, as does working around planting beds, fences, or limited side access. Weather can also affect timings for safe ladder work. We’ll give a realistic time estimate once we’ve seen the hedge and agreed the finish.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and shaping is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is in a conservation area, if the hedge is protected, or if there are Tree Preservation Orders affecting certain trees. Nesting birds are also legally protected, so timing matters. We’ll flag any potential issues and can help you check relevant London Borough of Bromley guidance before major reductions.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering the quality of our labour and the finish we agree with you, such as straight lines, consistent shaping, and tidy completion. Natural factors like drought, disease, or existing poor hedge health can affect regrowth, so those aren’t covered as “results”. If you spot any issues with the cut or finish, we’ll return to put it right promptly.
We trim and shape formal hedges (flat tops, sharp faces) and informal hedges with a softer, natural outline. We also carry out hedge reductions to bring height and width back under control, plus conifer hedge trimming where careful technique prevents browning. If you’re unsure what suits your garden, we’ll advise based on species, light levels, privacy needs and the look of your property, then maintain it on a regular schedule.
