Maintenance and restoration are priced differently because they are different jobs. Which one you need is worth settling first.
Hedge maintenance is quoted per job on height, length, species, condition, access and waste. A hedge cut annually is a maintenance visit; a hedge left three years is a restoration, which is a different scale of work.
We do not publish a fixed price list for hedge work, because it varies far more than a list would suggest.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.
| Maintenance visit | Restoration | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Annual or twice-yearly trim | Bringing back a neglected hedge |
| Cuts into | This season's growth | Older wood |
| Tools | Trimmers | Trimmers and saws |
| Waste | Modest | Several times more |
| Duration | Hours | Can be a day or more |
| Species limits | Few | Significant on conifers |
| Result | Immediately neat | Bare in places at first |

It is quoted per job on height, length, species, condition, access and waste. Height and how long since the last cut have the largest effect.
Maintenance takes off the season's growth and keeps the shape. Restoration cuts into older wood on a neglected hedge — slower, several times the waste, and limited on some species.
Yes. Each visit costs less than an occasional catch-up, the hedge stays dense, and the timing is right rather than whenever you remember.
Because above head height the work needs platforms, adding set-up along the whole run, and the top of a hedge carries the most growth.
Yes, normally. If you would rather keep the chip, say so — it can affect the price.
Whatever is agreed and accessible. Access to a neighbour's face needs arranging in advance.
Late summer for most formal hedges, winter for deciduous and native ones. Fast growers may want two cuts a year.
