Hedge trimming and removal in Matlock: Homeowners vs renters

If you own your home:

You’re responsible for any hedge maintenance, trimming or removal. Make sure you stay within your property boundary and avoid cutting during bird nesting season (usually March to August).

If you rent:

Check your tenancy agreement. Some landlords cover outdoor maintenance, others expect tenants to keep things tidy. Not sure? Speak to your letting agent before booking hedge trimming services near you.

What about boundary hedges?

In the UK, you can legally trim back overhanging branches onto your property, but not beyond the boundary. If you share a hedge, speak to your neighbour first. For clarity, the "2 metre hedge rule" and the "7 year boundary rule" may apply.
