You’ll deal with the person doing the work

There’s no sales team. We come out, take a proper look and explain what’s practical: what can safely come off a hedge, whether a tree can be kept, and what happens to the waste.

You get a clear quote before you decide. On the day we protect the garden around the work and leave it tidy.

“Sharp Hedges came out today, they did a great job reducing our hedge and tidying it up.”

Where we work

Useful answers

Common questions

Do you provide free quotes?

Yes. For most jobs, we’ll arrange a free visit to see the work, check access and discuss the waste before giving you a clear quote.

Do you remove the waste?

We can remove the green waste from the work if that’s included in your quote. We don’t offer general rubbish removal.

Are you qualified and insured?

Yes. Sharp Hedges is NPTC qualified and fully insured.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across County Durham and the wider North East. Send your town or postcode and a description of the job so we can confirm coverage.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos help us get a first look and are always welcome. For most jobs we’ll still arrange a free visit, so the quote is based on the actual work, the access and the waste.

Do I need permission to cut back or remove a tree?

Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or because they’re in a conservation area. Our protected tree check links you to your council’s official checks, and we’re happy to talk it through with you.
