Whether an overgrown hedge should be reduced in one visit or over several depends heavily on the species and how neglected it's become.
When a staged approach helps
- The hedge hasn't been cut for several years
- It's a conifer or other species that regenerates poorly from old wood
- A single hard cut would leave largely bare, brown growth
For tolerant species like privet or hawthorn, a single substantial reduction is often perfectly safe.
