There is not much of an average, and that is the honest answer. Two hedges of the same length can differ several times over.
Hedge cutting is quoted per job on height, length, species, condition, access and waste. An average figure would mislead more than it helped, because height and neglect swing the number so far.
We do not publish a fixed price list for hedge work, because it varies far more than a list would suggest.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.
| Two hedges, same length | What differs |
|---|---|
| Waist-high, cut annually | Ground work, minimal waste |
| Three metres, left four years | Platforms, saws, many times the waste |
| One face accessible | Half the cutting |
| Both faces plus a top | Three surfaces |
| Privet | Cuts easily |
| Holly | Slow, and unpleasant to handle |
| Chipper beside the hedge | Fast clearing |
| Everything through the house | Handling becomes the job |

There is not a useful average — two hedges of the same length can differ several times over on height, condition and access. It is quoted per job.
Because above head height the work needs platforms or towers, which adds set-up along the whole run, and the top of a hedge carries the most growth.
Considerably. An annual trim and a four-year catch-up are different jobs — the second needs saws, produces several times the waste and may need staging.
If both are accessible and you want both done, yes. Access to a neighbour's face needs arranging in advance.
Yes, normally. If you would rather keep the chip, say so — it can affect the price.
Yes. Two annual trims usually cost less than one restoration cut every three years, and the hedge looks better throughout.
Late summer for most formal hedges, winter for deciduous and native ones. Nesting birds are protected from around March to August.
