Pricing & Quotes — Hedge Trimming Ealing
Hedge Trimming Ealing offers a transparent, straightforward pricing model tailored to local gardens, streets and commercial frontages. Whether you need regular hedge maintenance in Ealing or a one-off tidy-up, our price breakdown shows labour, van and waste costs so you know exactly what you pay. We focus on two common approaches for charges: load-based (man-and-van) pricing and volume-based (cubic-yard) rates — both designed for fairness across terraced properties, semi-detached gardens and larger suburban plots around Ealing Broadway, South Ealing and Ealing Common.Transparent pricing model
Our commitment is simple: every quote itemises the work. Expect clear sections for labour, vehicle & collection and green waste disposal. For small maintenance jobs where access is straightforward we usually price by the hour or a standard man-and-van callout. For larger volumes of hedge cuttings and clippings, we switch to load-based or cubic-yard pricing so you only pay for what we remove. This approach keeps costs competitive for both short suburban hedges and long boundary hedges on period houses near Pitshanger or along busy roads near Uxbridge Road.
How load-based and cubic-yard rates work
We use two common systems: a man-and-van cost area rate for small jobs and a cubic-yard rate for bulk green waste. Typical elements included in the quote are:- Labour: hours on site, number of operatives.
- Van & disposal: per-load charge or man-and-van flat fee.
- Equipment & safety: hedge trimmers, ladders, protective mats for driveways.
Man & van cost area — when we use it
The man and van cost area is ideal for quick jobs like a front garden hedge on a terraced street or a short row of hedging outside a ground-floor flat. Charges reflect travel within Ealing zones, time to load debris and disposal. For busy locations such as Ealing Broadway or shops on The Broadway, permit handling and parking time may be factored into the man-and-van rate to cover real site costs.Estimating cubic yards
For larger hedge-trimming jobs we estimate the volume of waste in cubic yards (or cubic metres). One cubic yard roughly equals a large garden bag full of trim, and this helps when multiple loads are required. Cubic-yard pricing works well for:- Long boundary hedges on semi-detached homes.
- Overgrown hedges that need reduction instead of maintenance cuts.
- Jobs where chipping is optional and disposal by load remains cheaper.
Example job — small front garden: A terraced Victorian house near Ealing Broadway with a 1.2m high privet hedge typically takes one operative 1–2 hours. Man-and-van pricing for this area usually ranges from £60–£120 depending on traffic and parking constraints; a single small load is frequently included.
Example job — medium rear garden: A semi-detached property by Ealing Common with a 3–4m mixed-species hedge will often be charged by cubic yard. Expect an initial reduction cut followed by tidy and removal. Typical quotes for a garden like this are between £180–£380 depending on final volume (usually 1–3 cubic yards) and whether chipping on-site is requested.
Example job — large property or long boundary hedges: For period houses near Pitshanger Lane or long roadside hedges bordering a suburban plot, jobs may run to multiple loads. We price each load and offer a volume discount for 3+ loads. A large boundary hedge (6–10m length, 2–3m high) could be quoted in the region of £450–£900 including removal, or lower if on-site chipping reduces the number of van trips.
What affects price
Factors that change a quote include hedge height, density, access, proximity to busy roads and whether we chip on-site. Difficult access (narrow passageways typical of terraced streets or restricted parking at Ealing Broadway) increases labour time and may move a job from a simple man-and-van callout into a load-based or multi-operatives quote.What's included in every quote: We always list the work so there are no surprises: trimming and shaping, removal of cuttings, clearance of the area, broom and tidy, and safe disposal of green waste. Optional extras like wood-chipping (which reduces cubic-yard counts), hedge reduction below a certain height, or haulage beyond the local tip are shown separately so you can choose.
Environment & waste policy: We prioritise recycling and chipping. When possible, cuttings are chipped and returned as mulch which lowers the total load to dispose of and can reduce your final bill. If certified disposal is required for green waste, that cost appears in the cubic-yard or per-load line on your quote.
Free quote policy
We offer a no-obligation, free quote across Ealing. A site visit allows accurate measurement of hedge length, height and density and identifies parking or permit needs in busy areas. After inspection we supply a clear written quote that breaks down: labour hours, vehicle/load charges, green-waste volume (cubic yards) and any additional fees. Quotes are valid for a stated period and clearly indicate whether chipping, re-use of mulch, or multiple-visit reductions apply.Booking & timings: Quotes include estimated lead time and expected duration. We outline any weekend or evening premium for urgent slots in high-traffic periods and note if council permits are likely to be required for parking on busy streets. Payment terms and estimate validity are written into the quote so you know how long the price holds.
Why choose clear pricing? Transparent charges prevent surprise costs and help you compare between a quick man-and-van job for a small terraced garden and a cubic-yard quote for a large suburban boundary. For regular hedge maintenance in Ealing we can arrange scheduled visits at discounted rates.
