Overgrown hedges can block light, crowd paths and make a garden feel smaller. Our team delivers precise cuts and thoughtful shaping for homes across Sevenoaks, including Riverhead and around Sevenoaks High Street. Whether you want a sharp, formal edge or a softer, informal look, we work to the right season and species. We also remove and recycle clippings so you’re not left with piles of green waste.
Sevenoaks is known for large detached houses, period properties and executive homes, where hedges often define driveways and front boundaries. We regularly maintain tall screening hedges and privacy lines near TN13 and TN14, where access and sightlines matter. If your garden backs onto mature trees or open space, we’ll trim with plant health in mind to avoid thinning or scorch. The result is a hedge that looks intentional, not hacked back.
We start with a quick assessment of height, thickness, species and any nesting activity, then agree the finish you want—flat, rounded, tapered or feature-shaped. Cuts are made with sharp, well-maintained equipment for clean edges and faster recovery. We protect lawns, borders and paving, and we tidy as we go for a neat site throughout the job. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a consistent standard on every visit.
In the Sevenoaks District, many properties have long frontages, shared drive access and mature planting, so we plan equipment placement and waste removal carefully. Parking can be tight near busier routes, so we schedule loading and chip collection to minimise disruption. Soil conditions vary from well-drained gardens to heavier patches, which affects regrowth and how hard we reduce in one visit. We also work considerately near public footpaths and boundary lines to keep everything tidy and compliant.

Hedge trimming typically runs at £5–£15 per metre in Sevenoaks, depending on height, thickness, access and whether you want shaping or a heavier reduction. Most homeowners pay around £80–£300 for a standard visit, with larger boundary runs or tall conifers costing more. Green-waste removal, ladders/platform work and the number of sides to cut can also affect the final price.
Most hedge trimming jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the hedge length, height, density and how much growth has built up since the last cut. A light maintenance trim is quicker, while reduction and reshaping take longer because we work in stages for a clean, balanced finish. Access, obstacles (beds, fences, parked cars) and the amount of waste to clear can also extend the visit.
In most cases, trimming and maintaining a hedge within your garden is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if the hedge is protected, sits within a conservation area, or if there are Tree Preservation Orders affecting nearby trees. Wildlife law also matters during nesting season. We’ll flag any likely constraints and advise what checks to make with Sevenoaks District Council before work starts.
Yes. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship standards where applicable, covering issues caused by poor practice such as uneven cutting, avoidable damage to hard landscaping, or incomplete agreed scope. Living plants can respond differently depending on species, weather and prior pruning history, so we can’t guarantee growth outcomes. We do guarantee a careful approach, clear aftercare advice, and a prompt return if anything isn’t finished as agreed.
We trim and shape formal hedges (straight lines, flat tops), informal hedges (soft, natural outlines), and conifer hedges needing careful reductions. Options include tapered sides for better light, rounded profiles for softer borders, and height reductions to improve privacy without blocking windows. We can also set up regular maintenance visits to keep growth consistent. We’ll recommend the best finish based on species, garden layout and the look of your property.
