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.
We do not publish a fixed price list for hedge work, because it varies far more than a list would suggest.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 | A different job entirely |

This is the practical answer to the fixed-cost problem, and on an estate it is unusually available. Boundaries are shared, the planting went in at the same time, and neighbours generally need the same work in the same season. Two or three properties booking together spreads the travel and set-up — and a shared hedge cut from both sides on the same day looks far better than one cut by two people months apart.

Because travelling, unloading, protecting the access route and setting up take much the same time whatever the length — and estate access is often the worst part.
Yes, and on an estate it makes real sense. Boundaries are shared, the planting went in together, and two or three properties booking at once spreads the set-up.
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.
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, normally. On a small plot there is rarely anywhere to keep the chip, so it usually all leaves.
Often, to cut both faces properly. It is worth arranging in advance — and it is a good moment to ask whether they want theirs done too.
No. Quotations are free.
