If your hedges are blocking light, spilling over paths, or looking uneven, our team can bring them back under control quickly. We work across SE20, including around Penge High Street and near Penge East station. Whether it’s a quick seasonal cut or a more involved reduction, we focus on clean lines and healthy regrowth. Expect careful protection of beds, paving and neighbouring boundaries.
Penge’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have compact rear gardens where every centimetre matters. We’re used to tight side access, shared alleyways and boundary hedges that need a considerate approach. From Anerley edges to the Crystal Palace side streets, we tailor the cut to the hedge species and the space available. The result is a hedge that looks smarter without feeling over-trimmed.
We start with a quick assessment of height, thickness, and any nesting or access issues, then agree the finish you want. Cuts are made with sharp, well-maintained equipment to avoid tearing and browning, especially on conifers. All clippings are collected and removed, leaving paths and lawns tidy. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty.
Gardens in Penge often have mixed soils and shaded sections, especially near mature trees by Alexandra Recreation Ground. We plan cuts to encourage even growth where light is limited and keep boundaries tidy for close neighbours. Parking and access can be tight on residential streets, so we arrive prepared for efficient loading and swift clearance. Our hedge trimming in London Borough of Bromley is organised to minimise disruption while delivering a crisp finish.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most hedge trimming in the Penge area is priced at £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, access and the amount of reduction needed. A typical visit for a front or rear garden hedge comes to around £80–£300. Conifer hedges, heavy reductions, and awkward boundary lines can increase labour time and waste removal, while regular maintenance cuts usually sit at the lower end.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on hedge length, height, and whether you want a light tidy-up or a full reduction. Formal hedges and detailed shaping take longer because we work to straighter lines and consistent faces. Access also matters in SE20 gardens—narrow side passages and limited parking can slow waste removal. We’ll confirm an expected timescale after a quick site check.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and shaping in private gardens is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if a hedge is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (occasionally relevant for mature boundary planting). There are also wildlife considerations during nesting season. We’ll flag any potential issues and help you stay compliant.
Yes. Our work is covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship standards, meaning the hedge is cut to the agreed shape, levels and boundaries, and the site is left clean and safe. It covers issues caused by poor practice, such as avoidable damage to adjacent surfaces or incorrect shaping against the agreed plan. It doesn’t cover natural regrowth rates, weather stress, or pre-existing plant disease.
We handle formal hedges with crisp faces and level tops, as well as informal hedges that keep a softer, natural outline. Options include hedge reduction (height/width), hedge shaping for entrances and sightlines, conifer hedge management, and regular maintenance visits to keep growth steady. If you’re unsure what suits your garden, we’ll advise on the best finish for privacy, light, and long-term health.
