Do your hedges look overgrown and untidy? Are you struggling to keep up with trimming them yourself? Wondering how much it would cost to get you hedges professionally clipped in Leicester? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you're in the right place. At Leicester Tree Services, we specialise in hedge trimming and hedge clipping across Leicester and the surrounding areas. Whether it’s a short garden hedge or a long row stretching across your property, we’re here to help make it look neat, clean, and beautiful again — all at a fair and transparent price.

When it comes to hedge clipping, one of the first things people want to know is how much it will cost. That’s completely understandable. You want to know what to expect before making a decision, especially when hiring someone to work in your garden. That’s why we’ve put together a helpful pricing guide based on the length of your hedge. While each job is slightly different depending on the situation, this guide gives you a good idea of what the typical costs are for hedge trimming in Leicester.

Our prices for hedge clipping start at around £75 for 5 metres of hedge. If your hedge is 10 metres long, the price will likely fall between £100 and £300, depending on the type of hedge, height, and how much shaping is needed. For a 15-metre hedge, the cost usually ranges from £200 to £400, while 20 metres could be between £300 and £500. If you have a larger hedge — let’s say 25 to 30 metres — then you might be looking at £400 to £700. These prices reflect the time, effort, and equipment required to complete the job safely and to a high standard.

Please keep in mind that these figures are only a guide. Every hedge is unique. Some are tall and thick, some are short and thin, and others might be full of sharp thorns or in awkward spots. The actual cost of trimming your hedge will depend on a few key factors. These include the height of the hedge, the type of hedge, access to the hedge, the condition of the hedge, and whether it needs basic trimming or shaping. We always try to keep our pricing fair and competitive, but we want to make sure we quote accurately based on the actual job, not just the length alone.

That’s why we offer two simple ways to get a proper quote for your hedge trimming. The first way is to send us clear photos or a short video of the hedge you need clipped. Try to capture the full length and height, and if there are any particularly tricky spots — like tight corners or nearby fences — let us know. Based on this information, we can usually provide a reliable quote without needing to visit your property straight away.

If you’re not sure how to describe the job or prefer someone to come take a look in person, we also offer a free on-site inspection. One of our friendly team members will visit your garden, assess the hedge, and have a quick chat with you about what you want done. After this visit, we’ll give you a written quote with all the important details included. This will clearly outline the total cost, what the work involves, how long it will take, and anything else you need to know before deciding.

The good news is that there is no pressure to accept the quote. If you decide not to go ahead with the job — for any reason at all — that’s absolutely fine. Our goal is to give you the information you need so you can make the best decision for your garden. We believe in being honest, upfront, and respectful of your time and budget.

Trimming your hedges might seem like a small task, but it can make a big difference to the look and feel of your garden. A neatly clipped hedge adds shape, structure, and tidiness to any outdoor space. It improves kerb appeal, lets in more light, and helps plants and flowers around it grow better. Overgrown hedges, on the other hand, can block walkways, cover windows, or make your garden feel cramped and unkempt.

Many homeowners tell us they used to trim their own hedges but found the job increasingly difficult over time. Hedge trimming can be tiring, especially with taller hedges or hedges that are very thick. It also requires the right tools and safety precautions — especially if ladders or power tools are involved. That’s why more and more people in Leicester are choosing to hire professionals like us to handle it.

At Leicester Tree Services, we have the right tools for every type of hedge — whether it’s box hedge, beech, privet, laurel, leylandii, or something else. We also bring experience, skill, and a good eye for detail. Whether you want a basic trim, a sharp square cut, or a rounded, shaped finish, we’ll make sure your hedge looks just the way you want it. We take great care with every job, working neatly and safely from start to finish.

After we’ve finished trimming your hedge, we’ll always tidy up thoroughly. That includes collecting the cuttings, bagging them, and either leaving them for your garden waste collection or taking them away if needed. We never leave a mess behind, and we treat every garden with care and respect — as if it were our own.

It’s also worth mentioning that regular hedge trimming isn’t just about looks. Keeping hedges well maintained helps them grow evenly, prevents disease, and keeps them healthy for the long term. If left untrimmed, hedges can become woody, patchy, or too thick to manage. Trimming them once or twice a year — depending on the species — keeps them in great shape and helps them last longer.

Some customers ask us whether it’s better to trim hedges in spring, summer, or autumn. The truth is, the best time depends on the type of hedge you have. For most evergreens, light trimming in late spring or early summer is ideal. For flowering hedges, you may want to wait until after they bloom. If you’re unsure, don’t worry — we’re happy to advise you on the best trimming schedule for your specific hedge.

We also work with commercial clients across Leicester, including schools, offices, landlords, and housing associations. If you have longer hedgerows or multiple hedges across a larger site, we can tailor a regular maintenance plan to keep everything neat and under control. We’re reliable, insured, and committed to working safely and efficiently on every job.

So, whether your hedge is short or tall, thick or thin, newly planted or decades old, we’re ready to help you keep it in great condition. From simple tidy-ups to more detailed shaping, our team brings professionalism and care to every hedge we trim.

If you're ready to find out exactly how much it would cost to trim your hedge, we encourage you to get in touch with us today. You can send us some photos or a video via our website, email, or phone. If you'd prefer, we can also arrange a free, no-obligation visit to your home or business to take a look and give you a proper quote. After that, it's entirely up to you whether you'd like to go ahead.
