Response within 24 hours
If your hedge is blocking light, spilling onto the pavement or simply looking untidy, we can bring it back under control quickly. We provide precise trimming, shaping and reductions across Croydon, including Addiscombe and South Croydon. Many customers near East Croydon station want a clean, even finish that suits their frontage and keeps paths clear. Expect careful cuts, neat edges and a thorough clear-up.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments means hedges vary widely in height, access and species. Front gardens in CR0 often need regular maintenance to keep boundaries tidy without losing privacy. Larger plots around CR2 can involve taller conifers and longer runs that benefit from staged reductions. We tailor the approach so the hedge suits the property style and the garden’s use.
We start with a quick assessment of species, growth rate and the finish you want—formal, informal, reduced or reshaped. Cuts are made with sharp, well-maintained equipment to encourage healthy regrowth and a dense screen. We protect lawns, beds and hardstanding, then remove clippings and leave the site clean. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and consistent results on repeat visits.
We’re used to the access challenges of Croydon streets—narrow drives, shared side passages and limited parking near busier spots like the Whitgift Centre. We plan waste removal and loading to minimise disruption, and we can work around school-run and commuter times. Gardens across the London Borough of Croydon also vary from sheltered rear plots to exposed frontages, so we adjust cutting frequency and finish to suit wind, light and growth rate.

For hedge trimming in the Croydon area, costs commonly fall between £5–£15 per metre depending on height, thickness, species and access. A typical visit for an average garden is often £80–£300, especially where there’s shaping, a light reduction and full waste removal. Very tall conifers, awkward access, or long boundary runs can increase labour time and disposal needs.
Most hedge trimming jobs take around 2–6 hours, depending on the length of hedge, its height, and whether you want a simple tidy-up or a reduction and reshape. Conifer hedges and overgrown boundaries take longer because cuts need to be staged and debris volume is higher. Access also matters—narrow side returns, steps, or delicate planting can slow set-up and clean-down.
In most cases, routine trimming and shaping within your garden is permitted and doesn’t need permission. However, there are exceptions: protected trees, conservation areas, and hedges affected by nesting birds or boundary disputes. If your hedge borders a public footway, it must not obstruct pedestrians or visibility. We’ll flag any likely constraints and can advise what to check before major reductions.
Yes. We back our work with a 10-year warranty on workmanship standards where applicable, giving you peace of mind that the finish and agreed scope are delivered properly. For hedge trimming, this covers issues such as avoidable damage caused by poor technique and any agreed corrective return visit if we’ve missed sections. It doesn’t cover natural regrowth rates, weather damage, or pre-existing plant health problems.
We work with formal hedges (crisp, level lines), informal hedges (softer, natural outlines), and full hedge shaping for frontage kerb appeal. We also handle hedge reduction for overgrown boundaries and specialist conifer hedge trimming to maintain density without browning. If you’re unsure on a style, we’ll recommend a finish based on species, light levels, privacy needs and how quickly you want to maintain it.
