Querying prices.

Hi, I’m new here and looking forward to getting into some garden talk and learning new things.

But firstly I was wondering about this, and how much you would pay to get all this cut back?

 

Welcome to the forum. I just arranged for the gardener who does my hedge to come in this month. He charges £25 per hour and that includes taking it all away although there is a surcharge for taking it to the council tip since he is a contractor.

 

Hi,

How much did you pay ? if you are able bodied might be worth buying some good electric hedge cutters with a long reach.
Like most gardening tasks, if trimmed regularly its a much easier job than a once a year chop.
We usually have to trim ours back 4 or 5 times a year.

 

I get it cut about three times a year. I have both a mains electric trimmer and a brand new cordless one. The problem is neither my wife nor myself are fit for the job. It is a huge hedge which takes the young fit lad who does it a full day.

 

We cut ours twice a year too ,our hedge completely surrounds our property. Hubs does it himself. My Dad's gardeners also use to charge £25 per hour and took all the trimmings away.
