Hedge Trimming in Fulbourn
ELawnCare trims hedges across Fulbourn, a village about 4 miles east of Cambridge with a mix of older properties and newer builds. Boundary hedges along the village lanes and between neighbouring gardens are the most common request, with privet, laurel and leylandii all routine work.
Hedges up to 2 metres are £4 per metre, and anything above 2 metres is £8 per metre to reflect the extra time and access equipment involved. Cuttings are tidied and removed as part of every visit.
Fulbourn sits well within the 8-mile free callout radius, so no travel charge applies.

When to trim hedges in Fulbourn
Most hedges in the area need trimming two or three times a year: once in late spring after the first flush of growth, once in late summer, and optionally a light tidy in autumn. Formal hedges like box or privet may need a third cut to keep their shape tight through the season.
Bird nesting season runs roughly March to August, and hedges should be checked before cutting during this period. ELawnCare checks before trimming and will delay work on a section if an active nest is found.
Tall and overgrown hedges
Hedges that have been left for a season or more and grown above their intended height are a common request in Fulbourn, particularly on properties that have changed hands. The first cut on an overgrown hedge takes longer than a routine trim, but once brought back to shape, regular visits keep it there for a fraction of the effort.
Very tall hedges above 3 metres or those requiring significant reduction are quoted after an in-person visit rather than estimated from measurements alone, since the volume of cuttings and access requirements vary too much to estimate accurately.
