Hedge Trimming in Arbury, Cambridge
ELawnCare trims hedges across Arbury at £4 per metre for hedges up to 2m in height and £8 per metre for anything taller. All clippings are removed from site.
Arbury's 1960s estate has mature boundary hedging on most properties. Privet is the most common species, planted when the estate was built and now well established. Many of these hedges are 60 years old and have thick, woody stems underneath the green growth. Regular trimming keeps them dense and prevents them from thinning out at the base.
Owner-run with £2 million public liability insurance. No callout charge within Cambridge city.

WHAT IT COSTS
Prices for this work
Pricing for Arbury hedges
£4 per metre up to 2m covers most Arbury boundary hedges. A typical 25-metre boundary hedge costs £100 per trim. Taller hedges and mature growth above 2m are £8 per metre. Clippings are removed from site and the pavement or path is swept clean.
If a hedge has been left for years and grown significantly beyond its usual line, the first cut-back is quoted after a site visit. This avoids surprises for both sides. Subsequent trims revert to standard per-metre pricing.
Maintaining mature Arbury hedging
Mature hedges on the Arbury estate need consistent trimming to stay healthy. Cutting little and often, twice a year minimum, keeps the leafy growth dense. Cutting too hard into old wood on privet or laurel can leave bare patches that take a full season to fill in.
Where hedges have thinned at the base over decades, a slightly tapered trim, narrower at the top than the bottom, lets light reach the lower branches and encourages regrowth where it matters most.

Twice a year minimum: late spring and early autumn. Mature privet may need a third midsummer cut. Regular trimming prevents woody gaps and keeps the hedge thick from top to bottom.
Yes. Overgrown hedges are cut back to a manageable shape. The first trim is quoted after a site visit since the work involved depends on how far the hedge has grown. Subsequent trims use standard rates.
