Wigan Hedge Trimming

Overgrown hedges can make even the nicest garden look messy and uncared for. At Wigan Stump Grinding, we offer expert hedge trimming services to help you keep your garden looking neat, tidy, and well-maintained all year round. Whether your hedges just need a light tidy or a full reshape, we’re here to help local homeowners across Wigan get the perfect finish.

A well-kept hedge doesn’t just make your garden look better—it also shows that you care about your home and your outdoor space. A trimmed hedge can completely change the way your garden feels in Wigan. It can open up the space, make it feel brighter, and help other plants grow better by letting in more light and fresh air. Overgrown hedges can block views, cover pathways, and even grow into neighbours’ gardens if left too long. That’s why regular hedge trimming is important, not just for appearance, but for the health and balance of your whole garden.

At Wigan Stump Grinding, we do more than just cut hedges—we care about giving you a tidy, healthy, and safe outdoor space. Whether your hedge is big or small, long or short, we have the experience, tools, and care to do the job properly. We’ve helped many homeowners in Wigan take back control of their garden with reliable and friendly service. We know every garden is different, and we always aim to leave yours looking better than we found it.

Trimming your hedges regularly helps the plants stay strong. It encourages better growth and stops the inside from getting full of dead twigs and leaves, which can lead to mould or insects. A healthy hedge is thick, green, and full of life. If hedges are left too long without trimming, they can become thin and patchy in some areas, while growing too dense and tangled in others. This makes them harder to fix and less attractive. That’s why a bit of care every few months can go a long way.

Different hedges grow at different speeds. Some, like Privet or Leylandii, grow quickly and need trimming more often—sometimes three or four times a year. Others, like Boxwood or Yew, grow more slowly and can be trimmed once or twice a year. The best time to do a full trim is usually late spring or early summer, once the birds have finished nesting. Then, a second lighter trim in late summer or early autumn can help keep things looking smart before winter.

We always check carefully for nests before starting any trimming work, as protecting wildlife is important to us. In the UK, it’s against the law to disturb nesting birds, and we make sure we follow all rules and safety steps when working on your property.

We also believe in fair and clear pricing for hedge trimming in Wigan. We don’t want our customers to worry about hidden fees or surprise costs. That’s why we’ve made a simple price guide so you can get an idea of what trimming your hedge might cost. Prices vary depending on the length of your hedge and how much trimming or shaping is needed. Here's a quick look at our current prices:

5 metres – £75 to £200

10 metres – £100 to £300

15 metres – £200 to £400

20 metres – £300 to £500

25 metres – £400 to £600

30 metres – £500 to £700

These prices are based on average jobs, and the final cost will depend on the height, thickness, and condition of your hedge. For example, a 10-metre hedge that just needs a tidy-up will cost less than one that needs reshaping or has not been trimmed in years. If you're unsure, we’re always happy to visit and give you a free, no-obligation quote. We’ll take a quick look, let you know the cost, and explain what work we recommend.

We use the right tools for every job. For smaller hedges, hand shears are perfect for getting the details just right. For larger jobs, we use electric or petrol trimmers to save time and make sure the finish is smooth and even. We also bring ladders or long-reach trimmers for tall hedges so we can reach every part safely. We always work carefully and cleanly, making sure your garden is left neat and free of clippings. You won’t have to lift a finger—we take care of everything from start to finish.

We don’t just cut hedges flat—we can shape them too. Whether you want a classic straight line, a soft rounded look, or something a bit more decorative, we can shape your hedge to suit your style. Some people love a clean, square finish. Others prefer a more natural, flowing shape. Some even enjoy topiary, where we shape hedges into fun forms like balls or cones. Whatever you prefer, we’ll do our best to match your garden’s look and make it something you’ll enjoy every time you step outside.
