Length is what people measure. Height, and how long it has been left, are what decide the price.
Hedge work is quoted per job on length, height, species, condition, access and waste. Height and how overgrown the hedge has become have the largest effect — a tall hedge needs working platforms and produces far more material.
We do not publish a fixed price list for hedge work, because it varies far more than a list would suggest. What we can do is explain what moves the number.
| Since last cut | What the job becomes |
|---|---|
| Under a year | Straightforward trim |
| One season missed | Heavier cut, noticeably more material |
| Two years | Reduction rather than trimming |
| Three years or more | Restoration; often staged over two seasons |
| Never maintained | Effectively clearing a woodland edge |

Considerably. An annual trim and a three-year catch-up are different jobs — the second needs saws, produces far more waste, and may need staging.
Yes. Privet cuts easily, beech and hornbeam are denser work, holly is slow. Conifers also carry the constraint that they will not reshoot from bare wood.
Yes, normally. If you would rather keep the chip or compost the material, say so — it can affect the price.
Often, to cut both faces properly. It is worth arranging in advance.
Yes. Two annual trims usually cost less than one restoration every three years, and the hedge looks better throughout.
