How Often Should You Have Your Hedges Cut?

There's no single answer, since different hedge species grow at very different rates.

What affects frequency

• The hedge species
• How formal or tidy you want the finish
• Growing conditions and time of year
• Whether the hedge is being maintained or restored from an overgrown state

General guidance

Fast-growing conifer hedges such as Leylandii often need cutting more than once a year to stay under control, while slower species like beech or yew may only need an annual trim. A hedge that's already overgrown usually needs a more significant reduction first, followed by regular maintenance afterwards.
