Sharp, tidy hedge cutting. Hedges shaped, reduced or rescued, with every scrap of green waste taken away. Around nine miles from our Leigh base.
Hedge Trimming for Salford Gardens
West Salford grows a lot of hedge. Privet frontages line the inter-war streets of Swinton and Irlams o’ th’ Height, and mature conifer boundaries divide the longer gardens. Plenty of both have been left a season or three too long. We cut back hard where needed, shape properly and take every scrap of green waste away.
We cover Salford and the surrounding area: Swinton, Pendlebury, Clifton, Eccles, Monton and beyond (M27, M28, M30, M6).

What’s Included
Once a hedge is back under control, a regular schedule keeps it there. Most species only need cutting once or twice a year, which costs far less than a rescue job. During nesting season we always check a hedge before cutting; it’s the law, and it’s the right thing to do.
- 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 Salford, FAQs
It can be. The council can require a hedge cutting back if it obstructs the footway, and it’s your responsibility as the owner. We cut it back to your boundary, shape the face properly and clear everything away before it becomes anyone’s letter in the post.
Yes, we cut your side and, with the neighbour’s agreement, the top and their face too, which always gives a better result. One thing we’ll be straight about: conifers don’t regrow from old wood, so we’ll tell you honestly how far it can safely come down.
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.
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.
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.
