Response within 24 hours
Coulsdon gardens often back onto open spaces such as Farthing Downs and Happy Valley, so hedges can grow fast and wide. We provide careful trimming for formal and informal hedges, keeping them dense without scalping. Whether you need a one-off tidy-up or a full reduction, we work to the look you want and the light your garden needs. We cover CR5, including Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley.
With Coulsdon’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and newer developments, hedge work needs a tailored approach. Taller boundaries around bigger plots may call for staged reductions, while smaller front gardens benefit from precise shaping and regular maintenance. We’re used to working around driveways, side access paths and established planting beds. Our hedge trimming Coulsdon area service is planned to suit your property layout and privacy needs.
We start by assessing species, height, thickness and any nesting activity, then agree the finish—straight, tapered, rounded or natural. Cuts are made to encourage healthy regrowth, with careful attention to conifers and older hedges that dislike hard pruning. All clippings are collected and removed, leaving paths and borders clear. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, consistent results and hedge trimming in London Borough of Croydon carried out with care.
Coulsdon’s semi-rural setting and exposed edges near Coulsdon Common can drive vigorous growth and wind-swept tops. We plan trims to maintain a stable, tapered profile and reduce sail effect in storms. Access and parking vary from long driveways in Old Coulsdon to tighter spots in Hooley, so we arrive with the right kit and protect surfaces. We also stay mindful of council guidance and wildlife considerations when scheduling work.

Hedge trimming in Coulsdon is typically priced at £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, access and the species (conifers often take longer). Most homeowners pay around £80–£300 for a visit, covering trimming, shaping and tidy-up. Larger reductions, very tall hedges or multiple boundaries can increase the total. We’ll confirm a sensible range after viewing the hedge and discussing the finish you want.
Most hedge trimming jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the length, height and whether you want a light trim, shaping, or a reduction. Dense conifers, awkward access, and heavy clean-up can add time. Weather can also affect progress, especially if conditions make ladder work unsafe. We’ll give an estimated timescale before starting and keep you updated if we uncover areas needing extra corrective work.
In most cases, trimming a hedge within your garden is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the hedge is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (rare, but possible for certain features). Wildlife law also matters during nesting season. We’ll ask the right questions, check what’s relevant, and adjust the plan to stay compliant.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that the work has been carried out properly and with care. For hedge trimming, this covers issues caused by poor practice—such as avoidable damage to surrounding plants, structures or agreed finish standards—rather than natural regrowth or seasonal browning. If something isn’t right, tell us promptly and we’ll arrange a return visit to put it right.
We trim and shape formal hedges (sharp lines and flat tops) and informal hedges with a softer, natural outline. Options include hedge reduction for height control, tapering to improve light at the base, and corrective reshaping to fix uneven growth. We work with conifer hedges, mixed native boundaries and evergreen screens. We’ll recommend the best approach based on species, privacy needs, and how much maintenance you want going forward.
