Herring Leylandii is popular for exactly the reason it can also become a problem — it grows extremely quickly, and a hedge left unmanaged for even a season or two can shoot up dramatically.
Keeping Leylandii manageable
- Cut two to three times during the growing season rather than once a year
- Trim within the green growth rather than letting it get ahead of you
- Address height and width regularly rather than in one large job
- Consider a staged reduction if the hedge has already become significantly overgrown
Where a Leylandii hedge is causing a genuine dispute over light with a neighbouring property, the High Hedges Act 2003 provides a formal route through the local council — but in most cases, regular professional cutting resolves the problem long before it gets to that stage.
