Hedge Trimming for Astley Gardens
Astley still has a proper stock of mature hedges, old hawthorn field boundaries absorbed into gardens, big privet runs along the lanes towards Astley Green, and conifer screens planted in the eighties that are now three times taller than anyone intended. We cut them all back, shape them cleanly and take every scrap away.
We cover Astley and the surrounding area: Astley Green, Higher Green, Blackmoor, Cross Hillock, Astley Moss and beyond (M29).

How It Works
Hedge Trimming in Astley, FAQs
Yes, hawthorn takes hard cutting well and regrows dense, so even a badly neglected field-boundary hedge can be brought back to a tidy garden hedge. We time the work outside nesting season or check thoroughly first.
Always. Hedge waste is bulkier than people expect. A big reduction can fill a trailer or two. Removal and disposal are included in the price we quote, so the garden is left clear.
Yes, but carefully. It’s an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act to damage or destroy an active bird’s nest, and the main nesting season runs from March to August. Hedge cutting isn’t banned in those months, but the hedge has to be checked first. We inspect before every cut, and if we find an active nest we’ll leave that section and come back once the birds have fledged.
Height can usually come down a long way, and topping a tall leylandii to bring it back under control is no bother, but the sides are the limit. Conifers and leylandii won’t regrow from brown wood, so cutting the faces back too hard leaves permanent bare patches. We’ll look at the hedge and tell you straight what a conifer reduction will achieve, and if removal and replanting is honestly the better option, we’ll say so.
Yes. Green waste removal is included in every hedge cutting quote. Clippings, trimmings and any larger branches are cleared, loaded and disposed of properly, and we sweep up before we leave.
