Hedge trimming: what the job involves

Cutting garden hedges back to shape — sides and top — and clearing the cuttings. Leylandii, laurel, griselinia and escallonia grow fast in Irish weather and need cutting at least once or twice a year, and an overgrown boundary can take a team and a platform.

How long it takes: An hour or two for a garden hedge; a day or more for a long, tall or neglected boundary, and longer again when access to the far side is awkward.

The full guide to hedge trimming — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.

What hedge trimming in Galbally costs, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

  • Length and height of the hedge, and both sides or one
  • Species and how overgrown it is — leylandii and laurel make a lot of waste
  • Access: platforms or a MEWP for tall hedges, and the far side
  • Removal of cuttings
  • A one-off cut or a regular arrangement
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
