It depends on the species, growth rate and the standard you're trying to maintain.
What affects frequency
- The hedge species (fast-growing conifers versus slower species)
- How formal or tidy you want the finish
- The time of year and growing season
- 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-growing species may only need an annual trim. A hedge that's already overgrown will usually need a more significant reduction first, followed by regular maintenance to keep it under control afterwards.
