At Woodfelder Tree Care, we offer a specialist hedge trimming service designed to keep gardens, parks, and green spaces neat, healthy, and well-structured.

Hedge Pruning & Trimming

Our hedge pruning and trimming service ensures your hedges remain healthy, neat, and perfectly shaped throughout the year. Whether you have a fast-growing leylandii, a row of formal hedges, or an overgrown hedge that needs bringing back under control, our professional tree surgeons use the right tools and techniques to deliver clean, precise cuts that encourage strong growth and long-term health. We work with both domestic hedge owners and businesses across Manchester, providing a range of services from one-off seasonal shaping to regular hedge trimming as part of a comprehensive garden maintenance plan.

Lapsed Hedge Renovation

When hedges have been left untrimmed for several years, they can become tall, wide, and unmanageable. At Woodfelder Tree Care, we specialise in restoring these overgrown hedges back to a healthy, manageable condition. Some species, such as leylandii, conifers, and lavender, don’t respond well to hard pruning. In these cases, we use careful renovation pruning to gradually bring the hedge back into proportion, improve its structure, and encourage fresh, dense growth without stressing the plant.

Other species, such as laurel, yew, box, holly, and prive,t respond well to harder pruning, as they are able to sprout new growth from older wood. Knowing the characteristics of different hedge species is essential to choosing the right approach. Whether your hedge lines a domestic garden, a school boundary, or a commercial site, we’ll create a tailored plan to restore it while maintaining privacy and visual appeal. By investing in professional renovation, you extend the lifespan of your hedge, improve its overall health, and avoid the need for full removal and replanting.

Hedge Removal

Sometimes a hedge has outgrown its space, become diseased, or simply no longer fits with your garden design. Our hedge removal service provides a safe and efficient solution, ranging from small garden jobs to large-scale, complete hedge removal for commercial sites. We carefully dismantle the hedge, manage the disposal of debris, grind the stumps, and leave your space clear and ready for replanting, landscaping, or construction. Backed by our expertise in tree felling and removal services, you can trust our experienced tree surgeons to handle the task with precision, safety, and respect for your property.

Benefits of Hedge Trimming

Whether your hedge has got out of control or it just needs a regular trim, our team can help.

Aesthetic appeal

A neatly trimmed hedge can completely transform the look of your garden or outdoor space. Whether you prefer sharp, clean lines for formal hedges or a softer, more natural style for deciduous hedges, regular hedge trimming keeps everything looking intentional and well cared for. A tidy hedge enhances kerb appeal and can be a standout garden feature in both domestic and commercial settings.

Control its size

Without regular hedge trimming, hedges can quickly grow too tall or wide, becoming difficult to manage. By keeping growth under control, you not only maintain the balance and scale of your garden design, but also ensure that hedges don’t overshadow your lawn, flowerbeds, or other plants. Managing hedge size is especially important with fast-growing species like leylandii or conifers, which can take over a space if left unchecked.

Eliminate damage to structures

Over time, an unmanaged hedge can cause serious damage to fences, walls, and outbuildings as branches push against structures or roots spread into foundations. Professional trimming prevents these problems by managing growth and keeping the hedge within safe boundaries. In urban areas, this also reduces the risk of hedges encroaching on pavements or neighbouring properties.

Improve health and vigour

Trimming is not just about appearance; it’s essential for the hedge’s overall health. Removing excess growth and old wood allows light and air to reach the inner parts of the plant, reducing the risk of disease and encouraging vigorous new shoots. This process ensures your hedge remains strong, resilient, and long-lived. In the long term, well-trimmed hedges are easier to maintain and continue to provide privacy, shelter, and greenery for years to come.

How We Handle Safety

At Woodfelder Tree Care, safety underpins every part of our hedge trimming service. From the very first visit, our quoting process involves a thorough assessment of the hedge, the surrounding garden, and any nearby structures, boundaries, or access points that could affect the work. By identifying risks in advance, such as uneven grass, overhead/internal cables, or narrow access routes, we ensure every job is carried out with precision and care.Our team is equipped with full PPE, including helmets with visors and ear defenders, gloves, protective boots, and cut-resistant clothing. For hedge work, we use well-maintained hedge trimmers and additional tools like ladders, extendable trimmers, and access platforms where needed. All equipment is regularly inspected, and our working practices are designed to minimise risks both to our crew and to your property. We also follow strict risk assessments and safe working procedures, with systems aligned to AFAG and HSE guidance. This includes carefully managing debris, keeping work areas clear of trip hazards, and ensuring trimmed branches and cuttings are removed promptly as part of our garden maintenance approach.Our CHAS Advanced accreditation demonstrates that our health and safety standards are independently audited and meet the highest industry benchmarks. Whether we’re trimming a small domestic hedge or managing extensive commercial hedge lines, you can be confident that the work will be carried out safely, responsibly, and to the highest professional standards.
