Sharp, tidy hedge cutting. Hedges shaped, reduced or rescued, with every scrap of green waste taken away. Around eight miles from our Leigh base.
Hedge Trimming for Bolton Gardens
The established gardens around Heaton and Lostock carry some serious hedging, long runs of beech, holly, privet and laurel that have had decades to thicken up, plus the odd conifer screen that’s got well beyond ladder height. We cut, shape and reduce them with the right kit for the scale, and every scrap of waste leaves with us.
We cover Bolton and the surrounding area: Deane, Daubhill, Ladybridge, Hunger Hill, Middle Hulton and beyond (BL1, BL3, BL5, BL6).

What’s Included
On the terraced streets of Deane and Daubhill the common call is different: a front privet that’s pushed out over the footway. Keeping the pavement clear is the householder’s responsibility, and Bolton Council can require it to be cut back, so we trim to the boundary line, tidy the top and face, and leave the pavement fully passable.

- Height and width reductions, including conifer reduction

How It Works
Hedge Trimming in Bolton, FAQs
Yes, if a hedge grows out over the footway it’s down to the occupier to cut it back, and Bolton Council can serve notice requiring it. We trim it back to your boundary, square it up properly and take the waste away.
Yes, long established runs are a kit-and-method job: platforms or long-reach tools for the height, sheets down to catch the clippings, and everything chipped or carted away at the end.
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.
