Hedge Trimming in Hindley
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 Hindley Gardens
Privet frontages are part of the furniture on Hindley’s older streets, and they only look right with regular cutting. Twice a year keeps them crisp, while left alone they bulge over the pavement and go thin at the base. We also tackle the bigger boundary conifers and laurels in gardens further out.
We cover Hindley and the surrounding area: Hindley Green, Castle Hill, Amberswood, Lowe Mill, Ladies Lane and beyond (WN2).

How It Works
Hedge Trimming in Hindley, FAQs
Yes, keeping a hedge off the footpath is the owner’s responsibility, and Wigan Council can require it to be cut back if it obstructs the way. A firm cut on the pavement face usually solves it for the season.
Always. Green waste leaves with us on the day. You won’t spend a month feeding clippings into your own bin.
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.
It depends on the species. Privet, laurel and beech respond well to hard cutting back and will regrow even from old wood, so most overgrown hedges can be rescued over a season or two. Conifers are less forgiving. We’ll assess it for free and give you an honest answer: rescue it, or take it out and start again.
