Overgrown hedges can block light, spill onto pavements and spoil the look of a front garden. Our team trims and shapes hedges across Streatham Hill and around Streatham Common, keeping boundaries tidy and safe. Whether you need a quick cut-back or a full reshape, we work to your preferred height and finish. Expect careful cutting, clean edges and thorough waste removal.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses often have established hedges framing paths, bay windows and front walls, while mansion flats and modern apartments may rely on communal screening for privacy. We’re used to narrow side access, shared driveways and small front gardens where precision matters. For properties near Streatham High Road, we plan work to minimise disruption and keep entrances clear. The result is a hedge that complements period features rather than overpowering them.
We start with a quick assessment of species, health and your desired look, then agree a clear plan for shaping or reduction. Cuts are made with sharp, well-maintained equipment to reduce tearing and encourage even regrowth. We protect borders and paving, then clear clippings and leave the site tidy. Homeowners choose us for consistent results, straightforward communication and dependable scheduling for hedge trimming Streatham area maintenance.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, many Streatham gardens have mixed soils and mature planting that needs a lighter touch. Parking and access can be tight in SW16 and SW2, so we arrive with the right kit for narrow passages and staged loading. We also consider pedestrian flow and visibility where hedges meet pavements. Our approach adapts to each property’s layout, from terraces to mansion blocks.

Pricing for hedge trimming in Streatham is usually based on length, height, thickness and access. As a guide, expect around £5–£15 per metre, with many typical jobs landing between £80–£300. Conifer hedges, heavy reductions and awkward access can increase the rate, while regular maintenance visits often work out more economical. We can confirm a sensible range after a quick look at the hedge and site.
Most hedge trimming jobs take around 2–6 hours, depending on the hedge length, height and whether it’s a light tidy or a reduction. Dense conifers and long boundary runs take longer, as does careful shaping for formal hedges. Access matters too: narrow side passages and limited parking can slow loading and waste removal. We’ll give a realistic time window before we start.
Hedge trimming is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for routine maintenance. However, there are important rules around nesting birds and wildlife, and some properties may have restrictions if they’re listed or in a conservation area. If a hedge is subject to a boundary dispute or high-hedge complaint, extra care is needed. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you stay compliant before work begins.
Yes. We back our work with a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, covering issues caused by poor practice such as avoidable damage to adjacent hard landscaping or repeatable defects in the agreed finish. Living plants can respond differently due to weather, disease or prior stress, so we can’t guarantee growth outcomes, but we do guarantee a professional standard of cutting, shaping and site care. Any concerns are handled promptly.
We work with formal hedges (straight lines, flat tops) and informal hedges with a softer, natural outline. Popular options include box-style shapes, gentle tapering for taller boundaries, and controlled reductions to bring height back into proportion. We also handle conifer hedges where careful technique helps reduce browning and keep density. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend a style that suits your property and privacy needs.
