BARNWELL
Hedge Trimming in Barnwell, Cambridge
ELawnCare trims hedges in Barnwell at £4 per metre for hedges up to 2m and £8 per metre above that. All clippings are removed from site. The price covers a clean, squared cut.
Barnwell's mix of council and private housing means hedge types vary. Some properties have traditional privet or hawthorn boundaries, others have laurel or leylandii screens, particularly along the edges near Coldham's Common and the airport. Regular trimming keeps these manageable and prevents them from encroaching on paths and neighbouring gardens.
Owner-run with £2 million public liability insurance. No callout charge within Cambridge city.

WHAT IT COSTS
Prices for this work
Barnwell hedge trimming prices
£4 per metre up to 2m height covers most boundary and front hedges. A 15-metre run of privet costs £60 per trim. Taller hedges at £8 per metre include leylandii screens and mature laurel that has grown above fence height.
Overgrown hedges that have not been trimmed for several years may need a harder cut-back first, which is quoted after a look. Once brought back into shape, standard per-metre rates apply for ongoing trims.
Seasonal hedge care in Barnwell
Two trims per year suit most Barnwell hedges: late spring and early autumn. This keeps growth tight and prevents hedges from overhanging paths or blocking light to neighbouring gardens.
Properties backing onto Coldham's Common sometimes have native hedging that benefits from a single winter trim when the plants are dormant. This encourages denser growth in spring rather than simply trimming off the flowers and fruit that wildlife relies on.
