How Often Should Leylandii Hedges Be Cut?

Leylandii is one of the fastest-growing hedge species commonly planted in the UK, which has a direct effect on how often it needs attention.

Typical cutting frequency

Established Leylandii hedges often need cutting at least once or twice a year during the growing season to stay under control. Left for a single season too long, a well-maintained Leylandii hedge can put on a significant amount of growth.

Why regular cutting matters more with Leylandii

Because Leylandii doesn't regenerate well from old brown wood, staying on top of regular cutting is far easier - and far kinder to the hedge - than letting it become seriously overgrown and needing a hard reduction later.
