Hedge Trimming Cricklewood — Pricing & Quotes

We welcome homeowners and landlords to a clear, fair pricing page for Hedge Trimming Cricklewood and surrounding NW2 neighbourhoods. Our approach is built around a transparent pricing model so you always understand what you're paying for: whether you need routine maintenance on a terrace garden hedge, a seasonal shape-up on a Victorian boundary hedge, or clearance of overgrown screening at a busy high-street flat above a shop.

How our pricing works — clear and simple

We operate two main, easy-to-follow rate structures depending on the job: a load-based / man and van rate for general hedge cuttings and bulky vegetation, and a cubic-yard (or cubic-metre equivalent) green waste rate for larger clearances where waste volume determines disposal cost. This dual structure helps us optimize for both small regular trims and one-off clearances in the Cricklewood area.

For small residential hedges our man and van cost area pricing is popular: a team with a van charges for a standard labour and transport package plus a per-load disposal fee if green waste is taken away. This is ideal for terraced gardens, small suburban semis and properties on roads with limited parking — common situations in Cricklewood where multiple short visits keep hedges tidy.

Load-based rates (man & van)

Load-based jobs are priced by a combination of labour time, vehicle runs and disposal: we quote a team hourly rate, add a fixed van/transport fee, and then apply a per-load or per-skip charge depending on how much green waste we remove. Typical elements include:

• Labour: charged per hour per operative.
• Transport: a standard man-and-van fee covering local travel, parking and basic uplift.
• Disposal: per load or per small skip charge for green waste.

For larger overgrown boundaries and garden clearances — for example, a long rear hedge in a semi-detached house or the tall mature laurel lines behind a local block of flats near Cricklewood Broadway — we often quote on a cubic-yard or cubic-metre basis. A measured volume approach is fair when branches, rootballs and bulkier green waste dominate the job rather than simple cutting time.

This cubic-yard rates option works well when customers prefer a predictable disposal cost for large clearances: we estimate the volume on-site and give a clear breakdown so the final invoice matches the agreed quantity unless extra unforeseen growth is discovered.

Example jobs and typical costs

Below are representative examples that relate to common property types and busy locations in Cricklewood. These are examples only — every free quote is tailored to your site.

Example A: Terraced front hedge trim (Cricklewood High Street terrace)
A neat, half-hour trim to a low privet hedge on a typical street-facing terrace. Labour for one operative (0.5–1 hour), man and van fee and a minimal disposal charge. Ideal for regular maintenance customers. Estimated: small flat fee + man and van cost area surcharge for street parking access.

Example B: Semi-detached rear mature leylandii (suburban NW2 garden)
A taller boundary hedge needing step ladder work and careful disposal. Two operatives for 3–4 hours, plus 1–2 loads to the van. Priced on a mix of hourly labour and load-based disposal — sometimes quoted as a cubic-yard estimate for the arisings. Estimated: medium job rate reflecting height and waste volume.

Example C: Communal block screening and dense shrub clearance (flats near Willesden Lane)
A larger site with parking constraints and communal access. We combine man-and-van logistics with a cubic-yard estimate for the green waste. This avoids surprise costs for communal landlords and ensures safe removal from restricted access points.

Example D: One-off clearance behind a shop or busy Broadway location
Jobs on busy streets often require traffic management, additional time for pedestrian safety and a higher transport fee in our man and van cost area. We quote these elements up-front so busy location surcharges are transparent.

Transparent breakdown you can expect

Every quote includes an itemised list that shows: labour, van/transport, disposal (load or cubic-yard), any access or parking surcharges, and any optional extras like chipping, stump grinding or hedgelifting. We always mark which items are variable and which are fixed so you can compare quotes from different gardening companies in the prices area.

Some customers prefer a simple flat-rate for recurring hedge trimming in Cricklewood — we can set up a maintenance agreement with a set price per visit (useful for busy workers or landlords who manage multiple properties). Others like the flexibility of the load-based model when they only need occasional large clearances.

Free quote policy and site inspection

We offer a no-obligation, free quote policy for all hedge trimming and garden clearance jobs in the Cricklewood area. That includes on-site visits when needed to confirm access, measure volumes for cubic-yard estimates, and identify any local considerations such as restricted parking, nearby footfall on busy streets, or protected trees that affect the method and cost.

To keep things efficient we also provide a remote estimate option where you can send photos and measurements — we will give a clear provisional price and mark it 'subject to inspection' to avoid surprise upsizing once we arrive. Every free quote includes a written breakdown so you can compare the man and van cost area elements and the cubic-yard or load-based fees separately.

Choose the pricing format you prefer in your quote — hourly + man-and-van, load-based, cubic-yard, or a recurring maintenance flat-rate — and we'll show exactly how each line contributes to the final cost. Our goal is a fair, understandable charge for every Cricklewood hedge job.
