FAQ's
How much does hedge trimming cost?
Hedge trimming starts from £140, with final costs depending on the size, height, access and amount of waste. Smaller hedges are usually quick and affordable, while larger or overgrown hedges take more time. Send us photos for a fast estimate.
How much does hedge removal cost?
The cost of hedge removal depends on the size, height, access, root structure and how much green waste needs to be taken away. A small hedge may be fairly straightforward, while a mature, overgrown or well-established hedge can take longer, especially if roots or stumps need removing too.
Send us a few photos via WhatsApp or email info@nativeforest.co.uk of the hedge, the access and the surrounding area, and we can give you a fast estimate before arranging a visit.
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Most hedges benefit from trimming 1–2 times per year to keep them neat and healthy. Fast-growing hedges may need more regular maintenance.
Is there a new law about hedges in the UK?
There are different rules depending on the type of hedge and where it is. Newer hedgerow management rules came into force in England in 2024, mainly covering hedges on or next to agricultural land. These include rules around cutting, trimming and protecting hedgerows.
For domestic garden hedges, the main issue is usually neighbour disputes over high hedges. Local councils can consider complaints about certain high hedges under the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003, but this normally applies to evergreen or semi-evergreen hedges that are over two metres high and affecting the enjoyment of a home or garden.
If you are unsure whether your hedge can be cut, reduced or removed, it is worth checking with your local council first, especially if the hedge is protected, close to a boundary, or could contain nesting birds. We can advise on the practical side of hedge cutting and removal, but legal responsibility remains with the property owner.
Do you remove all the waste?
Yes, all hedge cuttings and debris are removed and your garden is left clean and tidy.
Can you reduce the height of a large hedge?
Yes, we regularly reduce tall and overgrown hedges safely, bringing them back under control without damaging their long-term health.
Do I need permission to cut my hedge?
In most cases, no. However, if your hedge is part of a boundary or in a conservation area, there may be restrictions. We can advise if needed.
Can you completely remove a hedge?
Yes, we offer full hedge removal including roots, leaving the area ready for fencing, landscaping or replanting.
Do you offer one-off jobs or regular maintenance?
Both. We can carry out a one-off tidy or set up regular maintenance to keep your hedge under control year-round.
Can you provide a quote before starting work?
Absolutely. We offer free, no-obligation site visits and quotes, so you know exactly what to expect.
How quickly can you do the work?
We can often schedule hedge work within a few days, depending on availability and job size.
What areas do you cover?
We’re based in Surrey and cover the surrounding areas across Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire.
