Overgrown hedges can block light, crowd paths and make a garden feel smaller. Our team provides precise trimming and shaping for properties near Sidcup High Street and around Foots Cray. Whether it’s a quick seasonal cut or a full reduction, we leave edges crisp and growth balanced. We also remove and dispose of clippings so your garden is usable straight away.
Sidcup’s well-established streets include plenty of 1930s semis with long side boundaries, plus Victorian houses and newer developments with compact gardens. We tailor the cut to suit your layout, keeping sightlines clear for driveways and front paths. If you’re close to Foots Cray Meadows, we’ll also factor in wind exposure and vigorous growth in sheltered spots. The result is a hedge that complements the property rather than dominating it.
We start with a quick assessment of species, height, access and the finish you want—formal lines or a softer, informal look. Cuts are made to encourage healthy regrowth, with careful attention to nesting birds and seasonal timing. You’ll get clear recommendations, tidy workmanship and reliable scheduling for regular maintenance. Homeowners choose us for consistent results and a professional finish every visit.
We’re used to Sidcup’s mix of front-garden boundaries and longer rear hedgelines, where access can be tight and parking needs planning. Working across the London Borough of Bexley, we keep noise and timings sensible and tidy up thoroughly to protect paving and lawns. For homes in DA14 and DA15, we bring the right kit for narrow side returns and taller screening hedges. We also adapt our approach for exposed plots and fast-growing conifers.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most hedge trimming in Sidcup is priced at around £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, access and the amount of waste to remove. Typical total costs often fall between £80–£300 for domestic gardens. Formal hedges that need crisp lines can take longer than informal ones, and reductions are usually more involved than a light trim. We’ll confirm the scope before starting.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on hedge length, height and whether you want a light trim, shaping, or a reduction. Conifer hedges and tall boundary lines can add time due to safe access and heavier clippings. Obstacles such as sheds, narrow side passages or delicate planting beds also slow the pace. We’ll agree timings and keep disruption to a minimum.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming and shaping is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if a hedge is within a conservation area, subject to a Tree Preservation Order, or if work could affect nesting birds during the breeding season. If there’s any doubt, we’ll advise what to check and can help you take a cautious approach before cutting.
Yes. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship standards, meaning we stand by the quality of the cut, shaping accuracy and the care taken to protect surrounding surfaces and planting. As hedges are living plants, growth rates and recovery depend on species, weather and aftercare, but we’ll always give clear guidance on watering, feeding and maintenance intervals to keep results looking their best.
We cover formal hedges with straight lines and flat tops, softer informal hedges, targeted hedge shaping, and more substantial hedge reductions where height or width has crept out. Conifer hedges are a common request for screening, and we can recommend maintenance schedules to prevent them becoming unmanageable. If you’re unsure on the best finish, we’ll suggest a shape that suits the species, privacy needs and your garden layout.
