What moves the price
- Type of hedge — fast-growing or thick hedges take longer to trim neatly than small, slow-growing ones.
- Complexity of the job — shaping and sculpting a hedge takes more hours than a straight trim.
- Time required to complete the work — hedge trimming is booked by the hour, so longer hedges mean more paid time.
- Condition of the hedges — an overgrown hedge needs heavy cutting back before it can be shaped.
- Waste removal — taking the hedge cuttings away adds time and disposal to the booking.
- Access to the area — tall hedges or ones behind sheds and borders are slower to reach and trim.
Domestic services and household services prices in Ireland are up 11% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Domestic services and household services, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical hedge trimming would have cost about €40 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →
