If your hedges are blocking light, spilling onto the pavement, or losing their shape, we can bring them back under control. Our team works across SW17, including around Tooting Broadway station and Tooting Bec Common. We trim for clean lines, balanced growth and better airflow, whether it’s a quick tidy-up or a full reshape. Expect careful cutting, clear edges and a proper clean-down when we’re done.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have narrow side access and long rear gardens, which affects how we move arisings and equipment. We’re used to working around shared alleyways, small front gardens and boundary hedges that sit close to neighbouring windows. Whether you’re in Tooting Bec, Furzedown or near Tooting Market, we tailor the approach to your layout. That means less disruption, safer working, and a finish that suits the style of the property.
Our process starts with a quick assessment of species, height, thickness and any weak sections, then we agree the target shape and reduction level. We use sharp, well-maintained equipment for an even cut and minimal tearing, and we’ll advise on aftercare to keep the hedge dense. All clippings are collected and removed, with beds and paths left tidy. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and consistent results across the hedge trimming Tooting area.
Gardens in the London Borough of Wandsworth often combine tight access with busy roads, so we plan loading, parking and waste removal carefully. Around SW17 we frequently work close to public footpaths and boundary lines, keeping cuts neat and compliant. We also factor in shade from neighbouring buildings and trees near Tooting Bec Common, which can affect hedge density and regrowth. The result is hedge trimming in London Borough of Wandsworth that looks right and stays manageable.

Costs in Tooting typically fall between £5–£15 per metre, depending on height, thickness, access and whether shaping or reduction is needed. Many homeowners pay around £80–£300 for a standard visit, covering trimming, tidy-up and green-waste removal. Conifer hedges, heavy reductions, or awkward access from Victorian terraces can increase labour time. We can give a clear estimate after a quick look at the hedge length and condition.
Most hedge trimming jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the hedge length, height and how much growth needs removing. A straightforward maintenance cut on a small boundary hedge can be done quickly, while a tall conifer line or a full hedge reduction takes longer. Access also matters in SW17 properties with narrow side passages, as moving clippings through the house or alleyway adds time. We’ll confirm timings before starting.
In most cases, hedge trimming in private gardens is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. However, there are important exceptions: hedges within conservation areas, properties that are listed, and any work affecting protected nesting birds. If a hedge borders a public pavement, we also keep the site safe and tidy during the work. We’ll ask the right questions and, where needed, help you check any relevant London Borough of Wandsworth restrictions before we proceed.
Yes. We stand by our workmanship and provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying landscaping works; for hedge trimming, this supports the quality of our cutting, shaping and agreed finish. If something we’ve done doesn’t meet the agreed specification, we’ll return to put it right. The warranty doesn’t cover future growth patterns, storm damage, pests or lack of watering/aftercare, but we’ll always give practical advice to help your hedge thrive.
We work with formal hedges (straight, crisp lines) and informal hedges with a softer, natural profile. Options include hedge shaping, hedge reduction for height/width control, and regular maintenance visits to keep growth even. We also handle conifer hedges, which need the right approach to avoid bare patches. If you’re unsure what suits your garden, we’ll recommend a shape and schedule based on species, light levels and privacy needs.
