Overgrown hedges can block light, spill onto paths and make gardens feel smaller. Our team works across CR4, including Mitcham Common and Figges Marsh, trimming hedges to suit the look of your home and the season. Whether you want a sharp frontage for kerb appeal or a softer, wildlife-friendly finish, we tailor the cut. We also remove clippings and leave beds, patios and paths tidy.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates often comes with established boundary planting that needs careful control. We regularly maintain long side hedges on corner plots, compact front hedges by driveways, and tall screening hedges between neighbouring gardens. If your hedge has become too wide or tall, we can reduce it gradually to avoid shock. For properties near Mitcham Junction station, we also factor in access and safe working around narrow side returns.
We start with a quick assessment of species, height, thickness and your preferred finish, then agree the scope before any cutting begins. Our process includes precise trimming, shaping, and optional hedge reduction, followed by a full clear-up and responsible disposal. We work with sharp, well-maintained equipment to minimise tearing and browning on leaves. Homeowners choose us for punctual visits, consistent results and straightforward communication from quote to completion.
Gardens around Mitcham Common and Pollards Hill can have mixed soils and exposed spots that affect hedge growth and drying after cuts. We plan visits around seasonal conditions and avoid heavy trimming during extreme heat. Many streets have limited parking and narrow access, so we bring the right kit for efficient, low-disruption work. Where council considerations apply in the London Borough of Merton, we’ll flag them early and help you stay compliant.

For hedge trimming in the Mitcham area, costs are usually £5–£15 per metre depending on height, thickness, access and whether shaping or reduction is needed. Typical total spend is around £80–£300 for most domestic gardens. Conifer hedges, very tall boundaries, or heavy reductions can sit toward the upper end because they take longer and generate more waste to remove.
Most hedge trimming jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the length of hedge, the species, and whether you want a simple tidy-up or detailed shaping. Access also matters: narrow side passages, steps, or working around planting can slow progress. Tall conifers and thick, neglected hedges typically take longer due to careful cutting, safe ladder work, and the extra time needed for clearing and disposal.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and maintenance in the London Borough of Merton doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if the hedge is in a conservation area, subject to a Tree Preservation Order, or if it’s a high hedge dispute affecting neighbours. We’ll ask a few questions at quoting stage and can advise what to check. If anything looks restricted, we’ll recommend confirming with the council before major reductions.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty covering the quality of the service we provide, such as agreed shaping lines, reduction targets, and tidy completion to the specified scope. As hedges are living plants, future growth, weather damage, pests and disease aren’t covered, but we’ll always give aftercare guidance to help your hedge recover well. If something isn’t right, we’ll return to review it promptly.
We trim and shape formal hedges with crisp, level lines, as well as informal hedges with a softer, natural outline. Options include hedge reduction (lowering height and/or narrowing width), detailed hedge shaping for entrances and corners, and careful conifer hedge trimming to keep screening without bare patches. We’ll help you choose a finish based on species, light levels, privacy needs and how quickly you want it to fill out again.
