Trimming is priced on how much comes off, not how long the hedge is. Those are different questions.
Hedge trimming is quoted per job on length, height, species, condition, access and waste removal. Height and how long since the last cut have the largest effect — the first raises the equipment needed, the second raises the volume of 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We do not publish a fixed price list for hedge work, because it varies far more than a list would suggest.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, so the conversation starts from an informed place.
| Since last cut | What the job becomes |
|---|---|
| Under a year | Straightforward trim |
| One season missed | Heavier cut, noticeably more waste |
| Two years | Reduction rather than trimming |
| Three years or more | Restoration; often staged over two seasons |
This matters because people ask for a trim and describe a hedge that needs a reduction. The two words carry very different amounts of work, and it is worth settling which one you actually need before comparing quotes.

It is quoted per job on length, height, species, condition, access and waste removal. Height and how long since the last cut matter most.
Because above head height the work needs platforms or towers, adding set-up along the whole run, and the top of a hedge carries the most growth.
Trimming maintains the hedge at roughly its current size. Reduction makes it smaller, cutting into older wood — slower, far more waste, and limited on some species.
Yes. Two annual trims usually cost less than one restoration cut every three years, and the hedge looks better throughout.
Yes, removal is normally included. If you would rather keep the chip, say so — it can affect the price.
Late summer for most formal hedges, winter for deciduous and native ones. Fast growers may want two cuts a year.
Yes. Cutting a boundary hedge back before new panels go in is cheaper and easier than working around a new fence.
