CASTLE
Hedge Trimming in Castle, Cambridge
ELawnCare trims hedges in the Castle area at £4 per metre for hedges up to 2m and £8 per metre above. All clippings removed.
Period properties around Castle Mound and along Huntingdon Road often have established hedging that adds character to the street. Box, yew, and beech are common alongside the standard privet. These species each grow at different rates and respond differently to trimming, which affects the timing and approach.

WHAT IT COSTS
Prices for this work
Hedge costs in Castle area
£4 per metre up to 2m covers most garden hedging. A 15m front hedge costs £60 per trim. Yew and box grow slowly and may only need one trim a year, while privet wants two or three. The rate is the same regardless of species.
Clippings are removed from site. Pavements and paths are swept clean before leaving.
Species-specific timing
Box is best trimmed in June. Yew in late summer. Beech in late August so brown leaves are retained for winter screening. Privet can be cut any time growth is active. Correct timing produces a better finish and avoids damaging the hedge.
