Hedge trimming in Bletchingley
Hedges cut cleanly beside old walls, quiet lanes and the busy A25, with every cutting cleared.
Hedge trimming in Bletchingley often means working right next to something older than the hedge. Plenty of boundaries in the village are brick or local sandstone walls, with railings or picket fencing at the western end. A hedge that has grown over one needs cutting back without scraping the stone. That’s slower than a run of suburban privet, and we take the time.
We look after laurel, privet, beech, yew, the odd leylandii screen and mixed boundaries. Laurel is cut by hand so the big leaves don’t brown at the edges. Every hedge is checked for nests before we start, and all the cuttings leave with us.

Hedge cutting season in Bletchingley
Hedge cutting in Bletchingley, for us, runs September to February, outside the bird nesting season, which suits most hedges anyway. A light summer tidy can still happen where a hedge is pushing over a path, but only after a proper look for nests. If there’s an active one, that section waits. The law protects nesting birds whatever the month. With Tilgate Common managed for wildlife and Hevers Pond on the edge of the village, there’s plenty living in hedges round here.
Front hedges on the A25 and the High Street
A hedge facing the main road is its own job. The A25 is busy, parking near the centre is tight and some front hedges sit right on the pavement. We cut from the garden side wherever we can, keep the footpath clear while we work and sweep up straight after. Tall boundaries come down in stages over a winter or two, never in one savage cut. It keeps them green, and it keeps you on good terms with the neighbours.
Hedge Trimming in Bletchingley: your questions
Anything else, just ring. You’ll speak to the people who do the work.
What’s the hedge trimming cost for a typical Bletchingley garden?
It depends on the length, height and type of hedge, and whether we can reach both sides. A tall hedge over a stone wall takes longer than a low privet. We’ll give you a fixed quote after a look.
Do I need permission to cut a hedge in the conservation area?
Normal hedge trimming doesn’t usually need it. The conservation area rules are about trees, which need six weeks’ notice to the council. If your hedge is really a row of trees, we’ll tell you and point you to an arborist.
Can you cut the neighbour’s side too?
Yes, with their agreement. Most neighbours are glad to have it done. We’ll clear the cuttings from both sides.
