Overgrown hedges can block light, crowd paths and spoil the look of a front garden. Our team works across Sutton High Street, Cheam and nearby streets to keep boundaries neat and thriving. Whether you need a quick tidy-up or a full reshape, we tailor the cut to the species and season. Expect straight lines, clean edges and a site left spotless.
Sutton’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and modern developments often comes with mature hedging that needs regular attention. In SM1, SM2 and SM3 we commonly trim front boundary hedges for kerb appeal and taller rear hedges for privacy. We’re used to tight side access, shared boundaries and gardens with established planting. The result is a finish that suits the style of your home and plot.
We start with a quick assessment: height, thickness, growth pattern and any weak areas that need a lighter touch. Then we carry out hedge shaping, reduction or maintenance using sharp, well-maintained equipment for a clean cut. We protect nearby beds, paths and fences, and remove green waste as agreed. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and clear communication from start to finish.
We plan hedge trimming in London Borough of Sutton around access, parking and working hours, especially near busier routes by Sutton High Street. Many properties have narrow side passages, so we bring compact kit and protect surfaces during removal. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and sightlines on driveways and corners. If council guidance or restrictions apply, we’ll flag them early and work accordingly.

Most hedge trimming jobs in Sutton fall within £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, species and access. A typical visit is often around £80–£300 for an average front or rear hedge, including shaping and tidy-up. Conifers, heavy reductions, awkward access, or extra waste removal can increase the cost. We’ll confirm the best approach after a quick look at the hedge.
Most hedge trimming in the Sutton area takes 2–6 hours. Time depends on hedge length, height, how overgrown it is, and whether you want a light trim, a reduction, or detailed shaping. Access also matters, particularly in gardens with narrow side paths or multiple levels. We’ll give a realistic timescale before we start and keep disruption to a minimum.
In most cases, routine hedge trimming is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, there are important exceptions, such as hedges within conservation areas, work affecting protected trees, or restrictions linked to nesting birds and wildlife. Boundary disputes and high hedge complaints can also involve council processes. We’ll ask the right questions, check what’s relevant, and help you stay compliant before carrying out any major reduction.
Yes. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, giving you confidence in the quality of the finish and our care around surrounding features. For hedge trimming, this covers issues caused by poor practice, such as avoidable damage to fences, edging or nearby planting during the job. Natural regrowth and seasonal changes are expected, but we’ll always advise on aftercare and maintenance.
We work with formal hedges (crisp, level lines) and informal hedges (softer, natural shapes), plus hedge reduction and reshaping for overgrown boundaries. We also trim and maintain conifer hedges with a careful approach to avoid cutting into old wood. If you’re unsure what suits your garden, we’ll recommend a style based on privacy needs, light levels, and the look of your property, then set a maintenance schedule.
