Hedge Trimming for Culcheth Gardens
Sixty years of growth means Culcheth has some serious hedges, beech and privet fronting the older estates, leylandii screens between plots, and long hawthorn runs where gardens meet the lanes and fields. We trim, shape and reduce them all, and every clipping leaves with us.
We cover Culcheth and the surrounding area: Twiss Green, Wigshaw, Fowley Common, Newchurch, Glazebury and beyond (WA3).

How It Works
Hedge Trimming in Culcheth, FAQs
Yes, keeping a hedge off the pavement or lane is the householder’s responsibility, and it’s a regular call for us in Culcheth. We cut back to the boundary, tidy the face and clear everything away.
Yes, within limits, leylandii won’t regrow from bare wood, so we reduce as far as the hedge can take while staying green, then hold it at that height with regular cuts. We’ll be straight with you about what’s achievable.
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.
