WHAT IT COSTS

Great Shelford hedge costs
£4 per metre up to 2m, £8 above. Mature Shelford hedges often exceed 2m. Long boundary runs of 30m or more are common and produce significant waste. All clippings removed the same day.
Mature hedge management
Hedges that have been growing for 30 years or more need careful annual trimming to stay dense. Hard cutting into old bare wood causes permanent gaps in most species. A consistent biannual trim maintains shape without exposing the interior. Overgrown hedges are brought back gradually over two or three sessions rather than cut hard in one go.
