Hedge Trimming Herne Hill — Pricing and Quotes
Hedge Trimming Herne Hill pricing should be simple, transparent and tailored to the scale of the job. We explain how our garden trimming costs are calculated for the Herne Hill area, including typical gardening company prices, man-and-van costs for green waste removal, and the two common charging methods we use: load-based charges and cubic-yard rates. Whether you need a quick front-garden tidy on a Victorian terrace or a full hedge overhaul for a large suburban property, our pricing framework helps you understand exactly what you will pay.
Our transparent pricing model is built around three clear components: labour, disposal and travel. Labour is usually calculated per hour or per job depending on complexity; disposal is either covered by man-and-van trips or included in a load-based fee; travel depends on distance from the Herne Hill service hub. We always break these parts down on quotes so you see the man and van cost area fees separately, plus any local congestion or permit fees for busy locations such as Herne Hill Road or near the station.
How we charge: load-based rates and cubic-yard rates
For hedge cutting and maintenance in Herne Hill we use one of two common charging approaches. The first is load-based or man and van pricing — a fixed fee per van load of green waste. The second is cubic-yard or volume-based pricing — ideal for larger clearance jobs where the total waste volume determines the price. Both methods keep costs fair and predictable.
Typical inclusions in our quotes:
- Labour (time estimates or fixed-job rate)
- Waste removal (man-and-van trip or load)
- Disposal fees (if applied separately)
Example jobs and realistic price ranges around Herne Hill
To help you estimate cost, here are common real-world examples that reflect how properties and busy locations in the area affect price. These examples use both load-based and cubic-yard rates so you can see how a gardening company prices different jobs.
Example 1 — Small front hedge (Victorian terrace near the station): A straightforward trim and tidy on a 3–4m front hedge typically takes 1–2 hours. Labour is often charged as a small fixed job or hourly rate, and waste can usually be taken in a single man-and-van trip. Indicative price range: £45–£95, depending on access and whether additional shaping is requested.
Example 2 — Rear garden mixed hedges (semi-detached by Brockwell Park): Multiple hedges, some higher trimming and a tidy-up can generate 1–2 cubic yards of green waste. Using cubic-yard pricing makes sense here: expect a mid-range charge that combines a labour block and a volume disposal rate. Typical cost: £120–£240 depending on hedge height and the number of stems that require cutting or removal.
Example 3 — Full hedge clearance (large garden near Dulwich boundary): A clearance that results in several cubic yards of material will usually be quoted on a volume basis. This includes a crew for 3–6 hours plus a man and van or skip disposal. Indicative range: £300–£650 depending on complexity and whether stump grinding or additional waste processing is required.
Free quotes and how we calculate onsite estimates
We offer a free quote policy across Herne Hill and surrounding neighbourhoods. For larger or complex jobs we provide an onsite assessment so we can measure volume, check access for a man-and-van, assess waste separation needs and confirm any safety equipment or permits. Our free estimate will clearly show whether we recommend load-based or cubic-yard pricing and present a breakdown such as:
- Estimated labour time and hourly rate or fixed job cost
- Number of van loads or cubic yards of waste
- Disposal and travel costs (man-and-van cost area details)
What affects cost — access, vegetation type and timing
Access constraints (narrow alleyways, gated courtyards common to terrace homes) can increase labour time and may require additional handling charges. Dense or woody hedges take longer to cut and chip, which raises the cubic-yard total. Seasonal peaks — late spring and autumn — also impact availability and sometimes the man-and-van schedule, which is reflected in our transparent quotes.
Booking and next steps: Requesting a free quote does not obligate you to book. Once you accept a written quote we confirm a date and outline any preparatory steps you should take, such as moving patio furniture or checking parking for our van.
