From Putney High Street gardens to plots near Putney Bridge, hedges in SW15 work hard for privacy and kerb appeal. Our team trims, shapes and reduces overgrown hedges without leaving ragged edges or bare patches. Whether you want sharp, formal lines or a softer, informal look, we tailor the cut to the species and season. We also remove all clippings so paths and patios are left spotless.
Putney’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus riverside apartments along the River Thames towpath, often means compact gardens and shared boundaries. We’re used to working around narrow side returns, rear access routes and neighbours’ fences. In West Putney and East Putney, we frequently maintain mature boundary hedges that need careful reduction rather than harsh topping. For larger plots near Putney Heath, we can set up for longer runs and regular maintenance visits.
We start with a quick on-site check: hedge type, height, access, and the finish you want. Cuts are made with sharp, well-maintained tools to encourage dense regrowth, then we rake, bag and dispose of green waste responsibly. You’ll get clear advice on aftercare and the best timing for the next trim. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and consistent results.
We plan hedge trimming in London Borough of Wandsworth with local access in mind, including controlled parking zones and tight driveways. Gardens around Roehampton and Putney Heath can have larger, wind-exposed hedges that need staged reductions and strong, straight lines. Riverside plots nearer the Thames often face damp, shaded corners where careful thinning improves airflow. We work considerately around shared boundaries and keep noise and debris to a minimum.

Most hedge trimming Putney area jobs fall between £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, access and whether shaping or reduction is needed. For typical SW15 gardens, total costs are commonly £80–£300. Conifers and long boundary runs can take longer, while small front hedges are usually quicker. We’ll confirm an estimate after checking length, waste volume and any obstacles.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the hedge length, height and how much growth needs removing. A straightforward maintenance trim on a small garden hedge can be done in a couple of hours, including tidy-up. Reductions, detailed shaping, or multiple hedges around a property will take longer. Access (narrow side passages, steps) and waste removal time also affect the schedule.
Hedge trimming is usually permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply in specific situations, such as conservation areas, protected trees, or if a hedge forms part of a boundary dispute. Wildlife law also matters: we avoid disturbing nesting birds and will advise on timing if activity is present. For Putney properties, we’ll flag any likely constraints and can help you check relevant London Borough of Wandsworth guidance.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering the quality of the work we carry out, such as correct cutting, shaping to the agreed line, and leaving the site clean and safe. It doesn’t cover future growth, storm damage, or issues caused by lack of watering or aftercare, but we’ll always give clear maintenance advice. If something isn’t right, we’ll return to put it right.
We handle formal hedges with crisp faces and level tops, as well as informal hedges shaped to a softer outline. Options include hedge reduction (lowering height and pulling back width), hedge shaping for symmetry, and conifer hedge maintenance where careful technique prevents excessive browning. We’ll recommend the best approach based on species, light levels and your privacy needs, then set a maintenance plan to keep it looking consistent.
