Overgrown hedges can block light, crowd paths and make a front garden look untidy. Our team provides precise trimming and shaping for homes around Wandle Park and the River Wandle walks. Whether you need a quick tidy-up before guests or a full reduction, we work to your preferred height and finish. We also clear and remove clippings so the space is usable straight away.
Colliers Wood has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern apartments, each with different access and garden layouts. We’re used to narrow side returns, small front boundaries and long rear gardens that need careful waste handling. For older properties, we often restore structure to mature hedges without shocking growth. For newer plots, we keep screening hedges compact and even to suit tighter spaces.
We start by assessing species, condition and your goals—privacy, light, or a cleaner edge to borders and driveways. Cuts are made with sharp, well-maintained tools for a consistent finish, and reductions are staged sensibly to protect the plant. You’ll get clear guidance on aftercare and a practical maintenance schedule if you want regular visits. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timings, tidy work and results that stay looking good.
We work across the SW19 area and understand the practicalities of gardens near busy routes and retail spots like the Tandem Centre. Parking and access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan loading, waste removal and noise-sensitive timings. We also factor in riverside conditions near the Wandle, where moisture and vigorous growth can mean more frequent trims. If a hedge sits on a boundary, we’ll help you keep lines clear and neighbour-friendly.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For hedge trimming in the Colliers Wood area, prices are typically £5–£15 per metre depending on height, thickness, species and access. Most homeowners spend around £80–£300 for a standard garden job, including shaping and tidy-up. Conifer hedges, heavy reductions and awkward access (rear-only gardens or narrow side passages) can increase time on site and waste handling, which affects the overall cost.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the length of hedge, the height, and whether you want a simple trim or a reduction and reshape. Dense conifers and neglected hedges take longer because they need careful, staged cutting and more clearing. Access matters too—moving clippings through a house or down a long garden adds time. We’ll give a realistic time estimate before starting.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and maintenance are permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, there are important exceptions: hedges in conservation areas, work affecting protected trees, or boundary disputes involving high hedges can involve additional rules. Wildlife protection also applies—active nesting birds must not be disturbed. We can advise on best timing and checks, and we’ll flag anything that may need confirmation with Merton Council.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that the work has been carried out properly and with due care. For hedge trimming, this covers the standard of the cut, shaping accuracy and agreed scope of work. It doesn’t cover future growth, storm damage, drought stress or issues caused by lack of watering or subsequent work by others. We’ll provide aftercare guidance to protect results.
We trim and shape a wide range of hedges, including formal box-like lines, softer informal screens, and conifer hedges that need careful height control. Options include light maintenance trims, full hedge reduction, corrective reshaping, and setting up regular maintenance visits. If you’re unsure what suits your garden, we’ll recommend a shape and height based on privacy needs, light levels and how quickly the species grows.
