Hedge Cutter Hire in Godstone, Surrey
Need hedge cutter hire in Godstone? Coppard supplies battery, petrol, long-reach and hydraulic hedge cutters from our Godstone depot for gardens, estates, farms and landscaping projects across Surrey. Call 01883 743 322 and tell us about the hedge, access and amount of cutting required and we’ll help identify the right equipment.
Coppard’s Godstone range includes battery and petrol hedge cutters, a petrol long-reach cutter and the hydraulic Avant S30 attachment. The right option depends on the height and condition of the hedge, the amount of growth, access around the boundary and the volume of work.
Hedge Cutters Available to Hire
Our Godstone range provides four different hedge-cutting options for everything from routine garden maintenance to larger estate and agricultural work.
The battery hedge cutter is a lightweight, manoeuvrable option for regular trimming. Coppard’s current model has a 45cm cutting bar and is specified for branches up to 16mm. It is currently listed at £20 per day or £45 per week.
The standard petrol hedge cutter provides another handheld option for established garden boundaries and longer periods of cutting. It is currently listed at £20 per day or £45 per week.
For taller or wider hedges, the petrol long-reach hedge cutter has a 50cm double-sided cutter bar that can be adjusted through 145 degrees, allowing different sections of the hedge to be approached from ground level. It is currently listed at £25 per day or £65 per week.
For larger estate, agricultural and landscaping programmes, the Avant S30 hydraulic hedge cutter uses three cutting rotors and can work horizontally or vertically. It is currently listed at £100 per day or £500 per week and requires a compatible Avant machine.
Prices exclude VAT and non-account customers add 10%.
Call 01883 743 322 with the hedge dimensions, condition and access and our Godstone team can help identify the most suitable option.

Choosing the Right Hedge Cutter
Start with the size and condition of the hedge rather than simply choosing between petrol and battery power.
For routine trimming of garden hedges and relatively light new growth, a handheld battery or petrol cutter may provide the simplest solution. The battery model is particularly useful where low noise, light weight and manoeuvrability are important.
Where a hedge is tall or wide, the long-reach cutter allows more of the surface to be reached while the operator remains on the ground. Its adjustable cutting head also makes it easier to work on hedge tops and different cutting angles.
Long estate or agricultural hedges are a different type of job. The Avant S30 hydraulic attachment is designed for shrub, bush and hedge vegetation and can operate horizontally or vertically while mulching the cut material into smaller pieces.
Very old, woody or heavily overgrown growth may require a different cutting approach rather than forcing a hedge trimmer through material beyond the capability of the machine.
Call 01883 743 322 and tell our Godstone team the approximate hedge height, length, condition and access and we’ll help identify appropriate equipment.
Hedge Cutter Hire in Godstone and Surrey
Our Godstone depot supplies hedge-cutting equipment for residential gardens, landscaping contractors, farms and rural estates across Surrey.
The right equipment can depend as much on access as the hedge itself. Narrow paths, walls, fences, neighbouring properties and roadside locations can restrict how the operator or machine can approach the boundary. For the Avant S30, there must also be suitable access and working space for the host machine.
From Godstone we regularly support customers in surrounding areas including Redhill, Reigate, Oxted, Caterham, Horley and Lingfield, as well as the wider Surrey area.
Handheld hedge cutters may be suitable for customer collection in an appropriate vehicle, while larger machine-mounted equipment will require the relevant Avant machine and suitable transport arrangements.
Call 01883 743 322 with the site location, hedge dimensions and access and our Godstone team can confirm the available equipment.
Hedge Cutter Hire for Residential and Landscape Projects
For homeowners and landscaping contractors, hiring makes particular sense when the job needs equipment that is only used occasionally.
A standard handheld cutter can cover routine boundary maintenance, while a long-reach machine provides another option for taller or broader hedges that are difficult to reach comfortably with a conventional cutter.
Landscaping contractors working across several properties can also hire equipment for the period needed rather than purchasing additional machinery for occasional seasonal workloads.
For larger clearance or estate-maintenance projects, hedge cutters can be arranged alongside flail mowers, chippers, stump grinders and other gardening or forestry equipment from Coppard.
Call 01883 743 322 and tell our Godstone team about the complete project and we’ll help identify an appropriate combination of equipment.
Why Hire a Hedge Cutter from Coppard?
Coppard has supplied plant and equipment since 1972. Our Godstone depot provides handheld and machine-mounted hedge cutters alongside the wider gardening, forestry and agricultural equipment required for larger maintenance projects.
The range allows the equipment to be selected around the hedge and site rather than trying to use one type of cutter for every boundary.
Call 01883 743 322 and tell our Godstone team the hedge height and length, type of growth, available access and amount of work involved and we’ll help identify a suitable cutter.

Frequently Asked Questions – Hedge Cutter Hire in Godstone
What stem diameter can a petrol hedge cutter handle?
The maximum stem diameter depends on the particular hedge cutter, the type and age of the growth and the condition of the cutting blades.
Coppard’s standard petrol hedge-cutter page does not specify one universal maximum stem diameter, so we should not publish a fixed figure such as 25mm for that machine.
Hedge cutters are primarily intended for trimming hedge growth rather than cutting substantial woody stems. Where a hedge contains old, thick or heavily established growth, a different cutting tool or clearance method may be required.
Call 01883 743 322 and describe the hedge and approximate thickness of the growth and our Godstone team can help identify suitable equipment.
How tall a hedge can the long reach cutter reach?
The practical working height depends on the operator, hedge shape and how the cutter can be positioned from the ground, so we should not state a universal 3.5 to 4 metre working height unless that figure is confirmed for the particular machine.
Coppard’s current long-reach hedge cutter has a long shaft and a 50cm cutting bar that can be adjusted through 145 degrees, making it useful for maintaining tall and wide hedges while working from ground level.
If the hedge is beyond the practical reach of the long-reach cutter, a different work-at-height or machine-mounted solution may be required.
Tell our Godstone team the approximate hedge height and access and we can help identify the most appropriate equipment.
What should I consider before hiring a hedge cutter?
The right hedge cutter depends on the hedge height, length, thickness and condition, together with the available access and the amount of work involved.
Also consider what is around the hedge. Roads, pavements, neighbouring properties, fences and other obstacles can affect how the work can be carried out and which equipment can be positioned safely.
For roadside hedges, Surrey County Council explains the responsibilities of landowners for preventing privately owned hedges from obstructing roads and pavements in its guidance on maintaining roadside hedges.
Tell Coppard’s Godstone team the approximate hedge dimensions, access available and whether the hedge is beside a road or pavement and we can help identify suitable equipment.
Can I use the long reach cutter from a ladder?
No. The long-reach hedge cutter should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and is intended to extend the operator’s working reach while they remain on a stable working surface.
Do not combine a handheld powered hedge cutter with a ladder simply to gain additional height.
If the hedge cannot be reached safely from ground level with the long-reach cutter, tell our Godstone team about the height and site access so another suitable method can be considered.
Is there a minimum hire period?
Coppard currently publishes both day and weekly rates for the battery, petrol and long-reach hedge cutters as well as the Avant S30 attachment.
The battery and standard petrol hedge cutters are currently listed at £20 per day, the long-reach cutter at £25 per day and the Avant S30 attachment at £100 per day.
Hire rates and availability can change, so call 01883 743 322 and our Godstone team can confirm the current price and available hire period before collection or delivery.
