How Far Can You Cut Back an Overgrown Conifer?

This depends heavily on the specific conifer species and how it's been maintained over the years.

What determines the limit

• How much green growth currently covers the hedge
• Whether the species regenerates from old wood
• The hedge's overall health and density
• Whether a phased approach would achieve a better result

Setting realistic expectations

Many conifers, including Leylandii, don't regenerate well from old brown wood, so they shouldn't simply be cut back as hard as possible. We'll assess your specific hedge and explain what can realistically be achieved.
