Professional Hedge & Shrub Trimming Services in London

Expert, safe, and affordable hedge, bush, and shrub care for every garden. Overgrown hedges aren’t just unsightly - they can create real problems. Branches stretching over pavements can pose hazards to pedestrians, block garden paths, windows, or natural light.

For homeowners, tackling hedge trimming alone can feel overwhelming, especially with tall hedges, thorny bushes, or dense shrubs. Ladders, clippers, and clean-up make it time-consuming, frustrating, and potentially unsafe.

Some gardens also require legal attention. Shared boundary hedges may spark neighbour disputes, and local councils can intervene if overgrowth affects public pathways or roads.

Our team of hire hedge trimming experts London will arrive equipped for precise trimming, pruning, and shaping. You can book professional bush shaping service or schedule shrub pruning and trimming easily, and even get hedge and brush maintenance quote London online in minutes.

Once your hedges are trimmed, our professional gardeners will collect the clippings and dispose of one black bin bag of green waste at no extra cost. Additional bags can be removed for a small fee, ensuring transparent pricing tailored to your garden. Factors such as hedge size, height, and condition may affect the final cost, and for larger or more complex jobs, we provide an in-person, no-obligation hedge and shrub maintenance quote in London.

Hedge Trimming and Pruning London | FAQ

How much does it cost to trim hedges in London?
Hedge trimming costs in London typically range from £40 to £260, depending on hedge size and condition. You might pay £40-£90 for small, well-maintained hedges, and £180-£260 for larger or overgrown hedges. Higher fees may apply to hedges that are difficult to reach. 
Is it illegal to trim hedges in summer in the UK?
It is not illegal to trim hedges in summer in the UK, but there are important restrictions to be aware of. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is an offence to disturb nesting birds, which are most active between March and August.
How high can you go in hedge, bush and shrub trimming?
The gardeners can trim plants up to 4 metres in height. For anything higher, you will have to use our tree surgery services.
What is the legal height of a hedge between neighbours?
In the UK, there is no specific legal height limit for a hedge between neighbours, but under the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003, a hedge over 2 metres (about 6.5 feet) high can be considered a nuisance.
Do I need permission to cut down a hedge?
In most cases, you do not need permission to cut down a hedge on your own property in the UK. However, if the hedge is located in a conservation area or is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you must seek permission from your local council before carrying out any work. Additionally, you must ensure that no birds are nesting in the hedge.
How often should I have my hedges trimmed?
It depends on the hedge type. Fast-growing hedges like Privet may need trimming 2-3 times per season, while slower-growing varieties like Laurel may only need one or two cuts per year. We’re happy to advise based on your garden’s needs.
Can you trim very large or tall hedges?
Our team can trim hedges, shrubs, and bushes up to 4 metres high. If your hedge exceeds that height, we’ll recommend our tree surgery services.
Do you shape hedges as well as trim them?
Yes! We offer both standard trimming and detailed hedge shaping for formal designs. Just let us know your preferences when booking.
Can I cut back my neighbour's shrubs?
Yes, in the UK, you are legally allowed to cut back your neighbour's shrubs or branches that overhang your property, but only up to the boundary line. You must not trespass onto their land or damage the plant. Any cuttings technically belong to your neighbour, so you should offer to return them unless they say otherwise
What happens to the hedge clippings and green waste?
We collect and dispose of one black bin bag of green waste for free. If there’s more, we can remove it for a small additional fee.
