Overgrown hedges can block light, crowd paths and spoil kerb appeal. Our team trims and shapes hedges across Orpington, from High Street gardens to quieter roads near Priory Gardens. Whether you need a one-off cut before guests arrive or a planned tidy-up, we work cleanly and leave your borders looking sharp. We also handle conifers and taller boundary hedges safely.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates often comes with established hedging that needs regular attention. In Petts Wood and Farnborough, we frequently see long boundary runs that benefit from measured reductions to keep them manageable. In St Mary Cray and Green Street Green, tighter side access means we plan equipment and waste removal carefully. The result is a finish that suits the property style and the garden’s scale.
We start with a quick assessment of species, height, thickness and the look you want—formal, informal or something in between. Cuts are made to encourage healthy regrowth, with careful shaping to avoid bare patches, especially on conifers. We protect lawns and beds, remove clippings, and can set up a maintenance schedule to keep growth under control. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, tidy workmanship and consistent results.
We know the access challenges of BR5 and BR6, including narrow side passages and shared driveways. Parking around Orpington station and The Walnuts Shopping Centre can be busy, so we plan arrival times and loading to reduce disruption. We also adapt cutting schedules to local growth patterns and garden microclimates, helping hedges stay dense and healthy. If any council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and work accordingly.

For hedge trimming in the Orpington area, pricing is typically £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, access and the type of hedge (including conifers). Most homeowners pay around £80–£300 for a visit, with longer boundary runs or significant reductions at the higher end. We can also quote for regular maintenance, which often works out better value over the year.
Most hedge trimming jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the length of hedge, its height, and whether you need a straightforward trim or a reduction and reshape. Access in Orpington—such as narrow side paths on 1930s semis—can add time, as can careful work on conifers to avoid cutting back too hard. Waste collection and tidy-up are included in the timeframe.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and shaping is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, there can be exceptions, such as hedges within conservation areas, work affecting protected trees, or boundary issues where a hedge is involved. We’ll ask a few questions before starting and can advise on sensible next steps if restrictions may apply. If needed, we can help you check relevant London Borough of Bromley guidance.
Yes. We back our work with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship standards, meaning the hedge is trimmed and shaped as agreed, with a clean, professional finish. As hedges are living plants, the warranty doesn’t cover future growth, storm damage, disease or issues caused by lack of watering or feeding. If you spot any concerns with the finish shortly after the job, we’ll return to put it right.
We work with formal hedges (straight lines and level tops), informal hedges (softer, natural shapes), and structured screening for privacy. Popular requests include hedge reduction for light and access, hedge shaping for entrances and paths, and conifer hedge management to keep boundaries dense. We’ll recommend the best approach based on species, garden size and the look you want, and can set a maintenance frequency to match growth rates.
