Hedge Trimming in Purley that keeps your garden looking sharp all year. From precise formal lines to softer, natural shapes, we cut cleanly and clear up thoroughly.
Response within 24 hours
If your hedge is blocking light, spilling onto the pavement, or losing its shape, we can help. Our team provides careful, tidy hedge trimming across Purley, including around Purley Cross and Purley Oaks. We handle everything from quick seasonal cuts to full reductions when growth has got away from you. All arisings are collected and removed, leaving paths and borders clean.
Purley’s large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes often rely on hedges for privacy and kerb appeal. We regularly work on long front boundaries and side access runs where consistent height and straight lines matter. For taller screens near neighbouring gardens, we can reduce height and depth to bring them back into proportion. Homeowners in Kenley and Sanderstead also ask us to keep hedges manageable without losing that leafy look.
We start with a quick assessment of species, condition and the finish you want—formal, informal, or a defined shape. Cuts are made with sharp, well-maintained equipment to reduce tearing and browning, then we check sightlines, gates and footpaths. We protect beds and paving, and we won’t leave clippings behind for you to deal with. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, so regular maintenance visits are easy to schedule.
We’re used to working in CR8 where access can be tight and front boundaries are often long. Parking and neighbour proximity around Purley Way and residential streets means we plan equipment, noise and tidy-up carefully. At the foot of the North Downs, growth can be vigorous in spring and early summer, so timing and cut depth matter. We tailor trimming to your hedge type and the look of your property frontage.

For hedge trimming in the Purley area, costs commonly fall between £5–£15 per metre depending on height, thickness, species and access. Most homeowners pay around £80–£300 for a typical visit, including shaping and tidy removal of clippings. Conifer hedges, heavy reductions, or very tall runs usually sit toward the higher end because they take longer and generate more waste.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the length of hedge, height, and whether you want a light trim, shaping, or a reduction. Straightforward maintenance cuts on accessible boundaries are quicker, while tall conifers, awkward side access, and detailed formal lines take longer. Weather, waste volume and whether we need to work around planting beds can also affect the timescale.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming on your property is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your home is in a conservation area, if the hedge is protected, or if there are nesting birds during the season. We’ll flag any potential issues before starting and can advise on sensible timing and scope so your hedge trimming in London Borough of Croydon stays compliant.
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying landscaping works carried out by Fine Landscaping. For hedge trimming, this covers the standard of work we perform—such as agreed shaping, reduction levels and tidy completion—rather than natural regrowth or plant health issues caused by weather, pests or pre-existing decline. If something isn’t as agreed, tell us promptly and we’ll put it right.
We can maintain formal hedges with clean, level tops and sharp sides, or keep informal hedges looking natural but controlled. Popular options include box-like profiles, tapered sides for better light, rounded finishes, and targeted hedge reduction to reclaim space. We also handle conifer hedges where careful cutting helps avoid bare patches. We’ll recommend a shape based on species, privacy needs and the look of your frontage.
