Overgrown hedges can block light, crowd paths and make front gardens look untidy. Our hedge trimming lewisham area service covers everything from quick maintenance cuts to full reductions and reshaping. We work across SE13, including routes near Lewisham station and the River Ravensbourne. Expect clean lines, controlled growth and a thorough clear-up every visit.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments often means compact gardens, shared side access and boundary hedges close to neighbours. In Ladywell and Hither Green, we regularly manage established conifers and mixed evergreen screens that need careful reduction rather than a harsh chop. For newer builds around key transport links, we keep formal hedges sharp without over-thinning. We tailor height, width and finish to suit the property and the street scene.
We start by agreeing the target height, shape and any privacy needs, then inspect for nesting birds and weak growth. Cuts are made in controlled stages to keep the hedge dense and reduce shock, with shaping for formal hedges and a softer profile for informal ones. All arisings are collected and removed, leaving paths and beds tidy. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and consistent results on repeat visits.
Hedge trimming in London Borough of Lewisham often involves tight access, on-street parking and gardens close to pavements and neighbours. We plan quieter working hours where needed and use tidy, controlled cutting to keep debris contained. Around Blackheath and Lee, we frequently manage taller boundary hedges that need staged reductions for stability. We also stay mindful of local tree and conservation considerations and will flag anything that may need checks before cutting.

Most hedge trimming in Lewisham is priced by length and complexity, typically £5–£15 per metre. A straightforward maintenance cut on a small to medium hedge often totals £80–£150, while taller conifers, heavy reductions or multiple boundaries can be £150–£300. Access, height, waste volume, and whether you want shaping or reduction will all affect the final figure. We’ll confirm scope before starting.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on hedge length, height and how overgrown it is. A quick tidy of a short boundary hedge may be done in a couple of hours, while conifer hedges, reductions, or detailed shaping can take longer. Access through side passages, distance to green-waste loading, and the amount of clearing up also influence timings. We’ll give a realistic time window when booking.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and shaping in a private garden is permitted and doesn’t require permission. However, restrictions can apply if the hedge is within a conservation area, forms part of a boundary with protected trees nearby, or if there are nesting birds in season. If you’re unsure, we can help you check relevant constraints and adjust the plan. We always work responsibly and within guidance.

We trim and shape formal hedges with crisp lines, as well as informal hedges with a softer, natural outline. Popular options include conifer screens for privacy, mixed evergreen boundaries, and flowering hedges that need careful timing to protect blooms. We can also carry out hedge reduction to bring height and width back under control. We’ll advise on the best shape, frequency and approach for your species and garden layout.
