when is it best to cut a laurel hedge
You can prune a laurel hedge with secateurs-which is not as labour-intensive as it sounds â or with a hedgetrimmer. If you cut it with a hedgetrimmer in late spring or early summer, it will put on new growth that will quickly grow over any âtattyâ leaves left by the hedgetrimmer.e only prune our laurel hedge once a year and it keeps it tidy and dense. On a note of caution, watch out for nesting birds from May until July, as it is illegal to disturb them. Donât prune your hedge if it is very hot and dry at the time.
