Clapham gardens benefit from regular hedge care, especially where growth quickly crowds paths and patios. We trim and shape hedges for homes near Clapham Common and around Clapham Old Town, keeping boundaries tidy without stressing the plants. Whether you want a sharp formal look or a softer, informal outline, we tailor the cut to the species and season. All clippings are collected and removed, leaving your garden ready to enjoy.
From Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with shared gardens, Clapham properties often rely on hedges for privacy and structure. In Clapham North and Clapham South we commonly work on front boundary hedges that frame railings and paths, plus taller screening hedges at the rear. Our local experience helps us handle tight side access, steps and narrow passageways safely. If you’re in SW4 or SW11, we’ll plan the job around your layout and neighbours.
We start with a quick assessment of height, health and any problem areas, then agree the finish you want before cutting. Our team uses sharp, well-maintained equipment for clean cuts that encourage dense regrowth, and we can schedule regular maintenance to keep it looking consistent. We protect lawns, borders and paving, and we tidy up thoroughly at the end. Homeowners choose us for reliable arrival times, clear communication and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
We’re used to the practicalities of hedge trimming in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth, including controlled parking zones and narrow residential streets. Many Clapham homes have limited access through side returns, so we plan tool choice and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider wind exposure around open spaces like Clapham Common, which can affect hedge density and trimming frequency. Where properties sit close together, we work neatly and keep noise and debris under control.

Most hedge trimming in the Clapham area is priced by length and height, typically £5–£15 per metre. Smaller tidy-ups for a short boundary hedge often fall around £80–£150, while larger gardens with long runs, tall conifers or reductions commonly come in at £150–£300. Access, waste volume, and whether you want shaping or a reduction will affect the final figure.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on hedge length, height and the finish you want. A straightforward trim and tidy on a low hedge can be done in a couple of hours, while tall conifer hedges, reductions, or detailed shaping will take longer. Time is also affected by access (narrow side passages), the amount of waste to remove, and whether we’re working around planting beds or paving.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and maintenance in private gardens is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the hedge is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (some councils treat certain hedges similarly). There are also rules around nesting birds in spring and summer. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise before work starts.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on the standard of our work, meaning the trim, shaping and reduction are carried out as agreed and to a professional finish. It covers issues caused by poor workmanship, such as uneven shaping or incomplete clearance, where a return visit is needed to put things right. It doesn’t cover plant health problems caused by disease, drought, or prior neglect, but we’ll always advise on aftercare.
We work with formal hedges (crisp lines and flat tops) and informal hedges with a softer, natural outline. Popular options include box-style shapes for structure, mixed boundary hedges for wildlife, and conifer hedges for year-round screening. We also offer hedge reduction to lower height and widen light into the garden, plus ongoing maintenance schedules. We’ll recommend the best approach based on species, growth rate, and the look you want.
