Hedge Trimming in Golborne
Sharp, tidy hedge cutting. Hedges shaped, reduced or rescued, with every scrap of green waste taken away. Around four miles from our Leigh base.
Hedge Trimming for Golborne Gardens
Golborne has hedges of every vintage, clipped privet fronting the older terraced streets, conifer screens grown up between the semis, and big mixed boundary hedges on the plots backing onto farmland towards Kenyon. We trim, shape and reduce them all, and every bit of the waste goes on the van.
We cover Golborne and the surrounding area: Bank Heath, Park Road, Stone Cross, Lowton, Lowton Common and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
The jobs we get called to most in WA3 are the ones that got away: a conifer run that’s put on six feet in three summers, or a front privet crowding the pavement. Both are recoverable, and once they’re back under control a once-or-twice-a-year trim keeps them that way for a fraction of the cost of another rescue.
- Hedge cutting, shaping and regular maintenance trims
- Height and width reductions, including conifer reduction
- Overgrown hedge rescues and removals
- Conifer, leylandii, privet, laurel, beech, box and yew
- Nesting bird checks before every cut
- All green waste removed and disposed of
How It Works
Hedge Trimming in Golborne, FAQs
Yes, and it’s worth doing promptly. The householder is responsible for growth over a public footpath, and Wigan Council can require it to be cut back. We trim it to the boundary, tidy the face and take the waste away.
Yes, if a hedge is past saving or you want the space back, we take it out roots and all and can replace it with fencing or a new hedge. We check for nesting birds first during spring and summer.
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.
