Hedge trimming in Wembley (HA9)

What is included in hedge trimming

Stand at the point where the hedge begins to narrow the path. Photograph the face you want cut and show what you need to pass. Then walk to an end where the relationship between hedge, fence and paving is visible. Name any panel that looks loose or any side you cannot get to. A cut around a gate is easier to agree when the hinges and swing are visible.

• Trimming reachable faces within the agreed scope
• Shaping the hedge to a suitable profile
• Gathering cuttings from the working area

What is not included

• Access to another property without agreement
• Repairing fences hidden beneath the hedge
• Cutting hedges taller than 4 metres, which are assessed individually

Set the line beside the path

Decide whether the hedge should follow the path or the existing fence line. Those can diverge around a corner, and a single front-on picture may not show it. Take a second view while standing beside the gate, looking down the line you want. If you need access to a latch from both sides, point to the part of the hedge where fingers or clothing catch. Flag growth over steps and identify the faces you want left as a screen. Keep this separate from requests to mend any weak fence panels that the cut may reveal.

Take note of the approach that will be used to carry away trimmings. If the route out goes past the same gate you want freed, show how it opens. If the trimmings can stay in the garden, choose a gathering spot that does not undo the access improvement you are asking for.

The RHS guide to pruning hedges describes tapering a formal hedge towards the top so light can reach lower growth. Choose the shape around the hedge itself and the working path. Check for nesting activity first. See GOV.UK wild bird protection for rules on nests while in use or being built. Show any climbing growth separately for Ivy removal.

Prices

65 pounds per hour. No VAT added. Minimum booking 1 hour. The charging basis, hours and team size are confirmed in your written quotation.

How it works

1. Trace the route beside the hedge.
2. Set the cut line and mark retained growth.
3. Check gates and gather trimmings without closing off access.

Photos to send

Send a photograph from each end of the path, a side view and a view of the hedge base. Mark the section that obstructs passage. If the gate needs to open during work, say which part of the route should remain available.
