XW Exterior & Grounds Care · Garden maintenance
Hedge trimming, hedge cutting and manageable shrub pruning in Dublin. We help tidy overgrown garden boundaries, reshape suitable shrubs and restore clear edges to paths and outdoor spaces. For domestic gardens, rentals and managed communal grounds, we agree the scope and access before work begins.

Hedge Cutting and Trimming
For suitable accessible hedges, services may include routine seasonal trimming, shaping the top and sides, reducing growth encroaching on paths, and gathering the resulting clippings. We assess plant type, height, neighbouring boundaries and access before confirming any more substantial reduction.
Shrub Pruning & Garden Cutting Back
Suitable shrubs can benefit from selective trimming and cutting back when the timing and plant condition are appropriate. We avoid treating every shrub or flowering plant in the same way. Send close and wider photographs if you are unsure which plants need attention.
One-off hedge tidy-up
For hedges needing a seasonal shape-up, a tidy boundary, or clearance from paths and gates.
Regular grounds care
Combine planned hedge maintenance with grass cutting, border tidying or garden tidy-ups.
Tree Pruning Is Assessed Separately
Small and manageable tree work may be considered following an assessment of size, species, nearby structures and safe access. Large tree reductions, high-risk work or specialist arboricultural operations require appropriate specialist arrangements. For those enquiries see tree services and small-tree removal, including XW’s real before-and-after projects.
Cuttings, Clean-Up & Green Waste
We gather agreed clippings and leave the immediate work area tidy. The customer’s green-waste bin may be used by agreement. Larger volumes, bags and off-site waste handling are quoted separately depending on the job and applicable waste arrangements.
Pruning Around Wildlife and Boundaries
We assess timing carefully, including potential nesting birds and wildlife restrictions. Some hedge or shrub cuts may need to be postponed or redesigned to avoid disturbance. Boundary hedges shared with neighbours should be agreed with the relevant property owners beforehand.
Hedge Trimming Prices
Costs depend on length, height, density, access, amount of cutting back, clean-up and waste requirements. For an accurate free quote, send an Eircode, photographs showing the full length and both sides, your preferred finish and access information.

Common Questions
Do you offer hedge trimming without lawn mowing?
Yes. We quote individual hedge jobs as well as combined garden maintenance visits.
Can you heavily reduce a tall hedge?
We must first assess height, condition, access and safe working methods. Large or high-risk reductions may require a specialist.
Is green-waste removal included?
Green-waste arrangements are specified in the quote; off-site removal may be an additional item.
