Additional Costs Considerations for Hedge Trimming and Removal


Organic Matters Removal

If there are organic matters that need to be removed along with the hedge, it will contribute to an increase in the overall trimming cost.

Mechanical Excavator and Chipper

During the removal process, the cost may escalate if a mechanical excavator and a chipper are required on-site. These machines play a crucial role in efficiently removing the hedge.

Specialist Equipment for Tall or Awkward Hedges

The cost of trimming may rise if specialised equipment is needed to access tall or awkward hedges. This could involve tools beyond standard trimming equipment.


Factors Influencing Hedge Removal Costs


Established Trees and Woody Shrubs

The presence of established trees and woody shrubs may necessitate the use of machinery such as stump grinders and mini-diggers, contributing to an increase in removal costs.

Waste Disposal Methods

The method of waste disposal is a key factor. Whether a skip is required for carting away and disposing of the hedge or if a wood chipper is needed to process materials will impact the overall cost.

Age and Maturity of the Hedge

The age, maturity, and root depth of the hedge influence removal costs. Older and more extensive hedges may require additional machinery and effort for complete removal.

Future Use of the Area

The intended future use of the space plays a role in determining costs. Complete removal of the hedge, including roots, for future remedial works may incur higher expenses compared to leaving the space as is.

Hedge Height

The height of the hedge affects the cost, especially for tall hedges. Specialised equipment or ladders may be needed for access, contributing to increased trimming expenses.

Proximity to Roads

If the hedge is adjacent to roads and requires road closures during removal, this factor can escalate costs due to additional logistics and safety measures.

Hedge Length

The length of the hedge directly impacts the cost, with longer hedges requiring more time and effort for trimming and removal.

Accessibility to the Removal Site

The ease of access for vehicles and machinery to the removal site influences costs. Limited accessibility may require additional planning and resources, contributing to increased removal expenses.
