Hedge Trimming in Newnham, Cambridge
ELawnCare trims hedges across Newnham at £4 per metre for hedges up to 2m and £8 per metre for taller growth. All clippings are removed from site.
Newnham has some of the tallest and longest boundary hedges in Cambridge. Properties along Barton Road and Grange Road often have mature yew, beech, and laurel hedging that has been growing for 40 years or more. These need careful, consistent trimming to keep them dense and shaped without cutting into old bare wood.

WHAT IT COSTS
Prices for this work
Pricing for Newnham hedges
£4 per metre up to 2m, £8 per metre above. A 30-metre beech hedge at standard height costs £120 per trim. Mature Newnham hedges often fall into the taller band because they have been left to grow above fence height over decades.
Clippings removal is included. On longer hedge runs the volume of waste is significant, and it is cleared the same day rather than left in a pile.
Maintaining tall hedges in Newnham
Tall hedges need a tapered profile, slightly narrower at the top than the bottom, to let light reach the lower branches. This prevents the common problem of mature hedges thinning at the base while the top grows dense. Two trims a year at the right time keeps this shape consistent.
