Crystal Palace gardens often rely on hedges for privacy, structure and year-round greenery. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or along SE19 streets in Upper Norwood, a well-trimmed hedge instantly lifts kerb appeal. We handle everything from light seasonal cuts to full hedge reduction where growth has got out of hand. Expect clean edges, balanced shape and a thorough tidy-up.
We work across Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions common around Gipsy Hill, Anerley and SE20. These properties often have mature boundaries, mixed planting and tight side access, so technique matters as much as tools. We’re used to hedges that have grown for decades and need careful reshaping without leaving bare patches. Our approach keeps the hedge looking right for the style of the home.
We start by checking species, height, access and the finish you want—formal, informal or a defined screen. Cuts are made progressively to avoid shock, with careful attention to light levels so the hedge thickens evenly. All green waste is removed or chipped where suitable, and we leave paths and patios clean. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, clear communication and consistent results across the hedge trimming Crystal Palace area.
Crystal Palace sits across borough boundaries, so we’re familiar with access and parking quirks in the London Borough of Bromley/Croydon/Lambeth/Southwark/Lewisham. Many roads around the hilltop have limited space for loading, so we arrive with the right kit to work efficiently without blocking driveways. Gardens can be tiered or sloped, especially near the Crystal Palace transmitter, so we plan safe ladder positions and cutting angles. We also time work to reduce disruption in busier residential streets.

Most hedge trimming jobs in Crystal Palace are priced at around £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, access and whether it’s a simple trim or a reduction. Typical total costs are often £80–£300 for domestic gardens. Conifers, very tall hedges, awkward slopes and heavy waste removal can increase the price. We’ll confirm an accurate range after a quick look at the hedge and access.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on hedge length, height and how much material needs removing. A light maintenance trim on an accessible boundary can be completed quickly, while hedge reduction or shaping multiple sections takes longer. Conifer hedges and formal lines also need slower, more precise cutting. Access (narrow side passages, steps, sloped gardens) and waste volume are the biggest factors affecting timescales.
In most cases, hedge trimming within your garden is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if a hedge is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (some councils treat certain hedges similarly). There are also wildlife considerations during nesting season. We’ll flag any likely restrictions and can help you check with the relevant borough before work starts.
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on workmanship-related issues where applicable (for example, agreed shaping and reduction work carried out to the specified plan). Hedge growth is living and affected by weather, soil, pests and previous cutting, so the warranty doesn’t cover natural regrowth patterns or pre-existing disease. If something doesn’t look right after completion, we’ll return to review and put it right where it falls within scope.
We trim and shape formal hedges (straight lines, flat tops), informal hedges with a softer outline, and structured screening for privacy. We also carry out hedge reduction to bring overgrown boundaries back to a manageable size, plus careful conifer hedge trimming to minimise browning. If you’re unsure what suits your garden, we’ll advise on height, width, tapering for light, and a maintenance schedule that keeps the look consistent.
