Hedge Trimming in Dartford that keeps your garden looking sharp all year. From tidy reductions to crisp lines on formal borders, we cut cleanly and leave everything spotless.
Response within 24 hours
If your hedge is blocking light, spilling onto the pavement, or simply looking tired, we can bring it back under control. Our team provides careful trims, shaping and reductions for homes across Dartford, including Wilmington and Greenhithe. We regularly work near Central Park and around the busy routes towards the Dartford Crossing, so we plan access and tidy-up properly. Expect clean cuts, straight lines where needed, and a garden that looks instantly more cared for.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments means hedges vary hugely in height, species and access. Narrow side passages and small front gardens in DA1 often need compact kit and precise handling. Larger plots around DA2 can suit more substantial reductions and ongoing maintenance schedules. We tailor the cut to your hedge type and your property’s layout, not a one-size approach.
We start by agreeing the finish you want—formal, informal, or a practical reduction to reclaim space. Then we protect borders, trim with sharp equipment to minimise tearing, and clear all clippings from beds, lawns and paths. You’ll get straightforward advice on aftercare and a plan for keeping growth in check through the season. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, tidy workmanship and consistent results.
Gardens across Dartford Borough often sit close to roads and footpaths, so we manage debris carefully and keep public areas clear. Parking and access can be tight near busier routes towards Bluewater Shopping Centre, so we arrive with the right-sized equipment and a tidy loading plan. Soil and exposure vary from sheltered terraces to more open new-build plots, which affects growth speed and trimming frequency. We adapt the cut and schedule to suit your hedge and your street.

Most hedge trimming in the Dartford area is priced by length and complexity, typically £5–£15 per metre. For many homes, total costs often fall between £80–£300 depending on height, access, species (especially conifers), and whether you want a simple tidy-up or a heavier reduction. Removal of clippings and the number of faces to trim also affect the final price.
Most jobs take around 2–6 hours, depending on hedge length, height and how overgrown it is. A light maintenance cut on an accessible boundary can be quick, while reductions, shaping formal lines, or working around tight side access can take longer. Conifer hedges may need a slower, more controlled approach to avoid uneven results. We’ll confirm an estimated timescale before starting.
In most cases, routine trimming and maintenance within your garden is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the hedge is protected by a Tree Preservation Order. There are also responsibilities if growth obstructs pavements or visibility near roads. We’ll ask the right questions and help you check any Dartford Borough restrictions before work begins.
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and provide a 10-year warranty on our landscaping work where applicable, covering defects caused by poor installation or workmanship. For hedge trimming specifically, the warranty supports the quality of the cut, shaping accuracy and agreed finish, provided the hedge is maintained appropriately and not damaged by extreme weather, pests or neglect. If something isn’t right, we’ll return to put it right.
We work with formal hedges (crisp lines and level tops), informal hedges (natural shape with controlled growth), and reductions where you need space back. We also handle hedge shaping for features such as tapered sides, rounded tops, or privacy screens, plus careful trimming of conifer hedges. If you’re unsure what suits your garden, we’ll recommend a style based on species, light levels, boundary use and maintenance preferences.
