Costessey isn't one place so much as a patchwork: Old Costessey clusters around the medieval church of St Edmund and the flint cottages along The Street, while New Costessey stretches along the Norwich Road corridor with its 1950s semis, 1970s estates, and the steadily expanding Queen's Hills development on the southern edge. Each part of Costessey brings a different kind of garden, and that variety is exactly what makes it interesting for our teams.
Old Costessey gardens tend to be generous and full of character. You'll find deep borders, mature apple and plum trees, thick privet hedges, and lawns that have had decades to settle into the heavy clay soil of the Tud valley. These plots reward careful garden maintenance — regular mowing to keep on top of the vigorous grass growth, seasonal hedge trimming for the boundary hedgerows, and the occasional tree surgeon visit to deal with an overgrown sycamore or crack willow near the river.
Over on Queen's Hills, the challenge is entirely different. Many homes here were built within the last ten to fifteen years, and the gardens are still finding their feet — thin topsoil over builder's rubble, young turf that hasn't fully established, and fences that are starting to show their age. Residents here often call on GreenRun for garden clearance to strip back failed planting and start fresh, or for regular mowing to nurse a patchy lawn into something they're proud of. The estate's wide, open layout means there's a lot of front-garden kerb appeal to maintain, too.
Between the two sits a ribbon of green that gives Costessey its breathing room: the River Tud winds through from Barford, past Costessey Mill and into the marshes near the Longwater retail park. Costessey Park — the old grounds of Costessey Hall — is a favourite dog-walking spot, and its towering oaks and beeches are a reminder of just how well trees grow in this fertile valley. That same fertility means Costessey lawns grow fast, hedges thicken quickly, and a garden left unattended for even a few weeks can get away from you. It's why so many households here prefer a regular maintenance plan rather than occasional one-offs.
Whether you're in one of the bungalows along West End or a family home on the Breckland Road estate, GreenRun offers a straightforward way to keep your outdoor space sorted. Fixed pricing means no awkward haggling with a bloke in a van — you see the price, you book online, and a vetted team turns up on the day. We already cover nearby Bowthorpe, Hellesdon, and Taverham, so our crews are in the Costessey area daily — meaning shorter wait times and flexible scheduling for residents across both NR5 and NR8 postcodes.
Our crews work the western Norwich corridor daily — Costessey, Bowthorpe, Hellesdon, Taverham. They know the clay soils along the Tud, the quick-growing hedges on Queen's Hills, and the mature plots in Old Costessey. Vetted, insured, and consistent.
Whether your garden is a compact new-build on Queen's Hills or a sprawling plot near Costessey Park, our pricing is upfront. Lawn mowing from £35, hedge trimming from £35. No quotes, no call-backs, no surprises on the day.

GreenRun's lawn mowing in Costessey starts from £35, and hedge trimming from £35. Garden clearance starts at £50. These are fixed prices — the same whether you're in a bungalow on West End or a detached home on Queen's Hills. No call-out fees, no quotes to wait for.
Absolutely. We cover the entire Queen's Hills development, including the newer phases still being built out. Our teams are familiar with the new-build gardens on the estate — from establishing patchy lawns to taming overgrown boundary hedges. We also cover all of Old Costessey, New Costessey, and the surrounding areas like Bowthorpe and Hellesdon.
This is one of our most common requests from Queen's Hills and the newer parts of Costessey. Builder-grade turf over compacted subsoil often struggles in the first few years. Our garden clearance service can strip back what isn't working, and regular lawn mowing at the right height helps young grass thicken up. We'll get it looking respectable — it just takes a bit of patience and consistent care.
In the Tud valley, hedges grow vigorously thanks to the fertile, moisture-retentive soil. Most Costessey hedges benefit from two cuts a year — once in late spring and again in early autumn. Leylandii and laurel hedges, which are particularly common on the newer estates, often need a third trim in midsummer to stay tidy. Our hedge trimming service handles all hedge types from £35.
Because our teams already work a regular route through Costessey, Taverham, and Hellesdon, we can often fit in short-notice bookings. The GreenRun app is coming soon for instant scheduling — in the meantime, submit an enquiry and we'll get back to you promptly.
