If your hedges are blocking light, spilling onto pavements, or losing their shape, we can bring them back under control. We provide careful trimming, shaping and reduction for gardens across BR2, including around Keston Common and Keston Ponds. Expect clean cuts that promote dense regrowth, plus a tidy finish. Whether it’s a quick maintenance visit or a one-off overhaul, we tailor the cut to the species and season.
Keston homes range from period cottages to large detached houses and country homes with long boundaries and mature planting. That variety calls for a flexible approach, from precision work on box and yew to practical reductions on fast-growing conifers. We regularly support homeowners in nearby Hayes, Farnborough and Downe where hedges often form key privacy screens. Our team understands how to keep hedges looking appropriate to the style of the property and garden.
We start with a quick assessment of height, access and growth habit, then agree the finish you want—formal, informal, or a controlled reduction. Edges are kept sharp, waste is collected, and paths and beds are left clean. You’ll get clear advice on aftercare and maintenance intervals, so the hedge stays in shape for longer. Many clients choose us for dependable timings, respectful working, and consistent results year after year.
We’re used to the mix of open frontages and long rear boundaries found around Keston and the London Borough of Bromley. Access can be tight on some lanes, so we plan equipment and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep parking sensible. Gardens near the Common can be more exposed, which affects how hard we reduce and when we schedule trims. For established plots, we prioritise tidy sightlines and neighbour-friendly boundary finishes.

Most hedge trimming in the Keston area is priced at £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, species and access. Typical total costs are often £80–£300 for domestic gardens, with larger boundary runs or tall conifers costing more due to extra time and equipment. We can also price regular maintenance visits, which usually work out better than leaving hedges to overgrow.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, but the exact time depends on hedge length, height, density and the finish you want. A light maintenance trim on a manageable hedge can be done quickly, while reductions, shaping topiary-style lines, or working around planting beds takes longer. Access and waste removal also affect timings, especially for long boundary hedges on larger Keston plots.
Hedge trimming is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, but there are exceptions. If your property is in a conservation area, has a Tree Preservation Order affecting nearby trees, or the hedge forms part of a protected boundary, extra rules may apply. Nesting birds are also a key consideration in season. We’ll flag any likely constraints and can help you check the relevant London Borough of Bromley guidance.
Yes. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship standards where applicable, covering issues caused by poor practice such as uneven shaping against the agreed line or avoidable damage from incorrect cutting methods. It doesn’t cover normal seasonal growth, storm damage, drought stress, or pre-existing plant health problems. If something isn’t right after the visit, we’ll arrange a prompt return to put it right.
We can maintain formal hedges with crisp, straight lines, create softer informal shapes, or carry out a controlled hedge reduction to lower height and width. We work with conifer hedges as well as broadleaf varieties, adjusting technique to avoid browning and patchiness. Many clients choose a regular maintenance plan (often 2–3 visits per year) to keep hedges dense and manageable. We’ll recommend a shape and schedule that suits your garden and privacy needs.
