Hedge trimming before and after
A hedge-trimming example from GreenRun's before-and-after work gallery.
GreenRun provides hedge cutting and shaping in Norwich and nearby NR postcodes. Send photos so we can review the hedge, access, requested cut and cuttings before confirming a price. Your quote sets out the agreed work before any booking or payment is confirmed.
Show the full hedge, its top and sides, and the route in. Include its approximate height and length, the number of hedges and any obstacles.
Tell us whether you want a light trim, reshaping or a reduction, and whether cuttings should stay or be taken away. We check what can be agreed.
You only book once the scope and price are clear.
Use the hedge photo-quote form to send the details. Tall hedges, major reductions, restricted access and tree work need assessment before a scope can be confirmed.
A hedge-trimming example from GreenRun's before-and-after work gallery.
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is illegal to intentionally damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while it is in use or being built. The main nesting season in the UK runs from 1st March to 31st August, though some species may nest outside this period.
At GreenRun, we take wildlife protection seriously. Before any hedge trimming job, our teams carry out a visual check for active nests. If nesting birds are found, we will postpone the work and notify you immediately — no exceptions.
Best times to trim: The safest periods for hedge cutting are late autumn (October–November) and winter (December–February), when birds have finished nesting. Light trimming may be possible in late summer (September) after checking for late nesters.
Expert trimming and shaping to give your hedge a clean, uniform look. We work with all hedge types including privet, leylandii, beech, and laurel.
The quote confirms the top and sides to be trimmed, the finish requested and any areas we cannot safely access.
We confirm before pricing whether cuttings will be gathered, left on site or removed, so the agreed waste scope is clear.
Our teams use professional-grade hedge trimmers and tools for a cleaner cut that promotes healthy growth.
A well-maintained hedge does more than look good — it provides privacy, reduces noise, and adds genuine value to your property. Whether you have a small privet hedge at the front of your home or a long leylandii boundary in rural Norfolk, GreenRun's hedge trimming service keeps it in perfect shape all year round.
Our trained teams handle all common hedge types including privet, beech, laurel, leylandii, box, yew, and hornbeam. We bring professional-grade equipment and know exactly how to shape each species for healthy, dense growth. Privet and box hedges benefit from two trims a year — typically June and September — while slower-growing beech and yew usually only need one good cut in late summer.
A neglected hedge doesn't just look untidy — it can encroach on footpaths, block light from your garden, and cause disputes with neighbours. If your hedge borders a public road or pavement, you may have a legal obligation to keep it trimmed back. GreenRun confirms the cutting and waste-handling scope from photos before the price and booking are agreed.
Hedge trimming works well alongside our other services. If your lawn needs attention at the same time, our lawn mowing service starts from just £35 and can often be booked for the same visit. For a full garden tidy-up including borders, weeding, and pruning, take a look at our garden maintenance packages. If your hedge has grown into a tree line, send a separate tree-work enquiry so the scope and attending provider can be confirmed.
We cover gardening in Norwich, the city centre, and all the surrounding areas, plus nearby towns including Wymondham, Aylsham and Sprowston. Unlike traditional gardeners who might take days to respond and weeks to turn up, GreenRun lets you send hedge photos online so the work can be priced properly before booking.
For more detailed advice, read our complete Norfolk hedge trimming guide covering species, timing, and nesting bird laws. Our hedge trimming how-to guide is also packed with practical tips.

The safest and most effective time to trim hedges in Norfolk is October to February, outside bird nesting season. Light shaping can be done in late summer (September) after checking for late nesters. Fast-growing hedges like privet may need a second trim in June. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is illegal to cut hedges while birds are actively nesting — the main nesting season runs 1st March to 31st August. Our teams always check for nests before starting and will postpone the job if any are found.
GreenRun prices hedge trimming from photos before booking. Send pictures of the hedge length, height, access and cuttings so we can confirm a fair quote and avoid surprises.
Hedge cuttings can be gathered and handled as part of the quoted hedge job where the scope allows. We confirm what is included before booking.
