Hedge Trimming in Wigan
Sharp, tidy hedge cutting. Hedges shaped, reduced or rescued, with every scrap of green waste taken away. Around seven miles from our Leigh base.
Hedge Trimming for Wigan Gardens
Wigan’s interwar avenues were planted with privet by the mile, and a lot of it is still there, great for the street when it’s kept tight, a nuisance when it bulges over the pavement. We trim, reduce and reshape hedges of every species across the town, and we never leave clippings behind.
We cover Wigan and the surrounding area: Scholes, Whelley, Swinley, Beech Hill, Worsley Mesnes and beyond (WN1, WN2, WN3, WN6).

How It Works
Hedge Trimming in Wigan, FAQs
Yes, if a hedge obstructs the footpath, Wigan Council can require the owner to deal with it. It’s a quick job for us, and far better done on your schedule than the council’s.
We can, but we check the hedge first. Disturbing nesting birds is against the law, roughly March to August. If there’s an active nest we trim around it or come back a few weeks later.
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.
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.
