Often, yes. Large, established Leylandii hedges can be professionally reduced, though the amount that can safely come off needs careful assessment.
What to consider
- The current height and condition of the hedge
- How much bare, brown wood is present lower down
- Whether a phased reduction is more appropriate
- Access and equipment needed for tall hedges
Why it needs care
Leylandii doesn't regenerate new growth from old bare wood, so a height reduction usually needs to be planned to avoid leaving permanent bare sections partway down the hedge.
