"Laurel hedges can be cut at anytime but it is best not to do it in the colder months to avoid frost damage on the cut ends"

"All types of laurel hedge need to be pruned once a year. The best time of year to prune is late spring/early summer as there will be lots of new growth at this time of year to cover up any “tatty” or damaged leaves."

"A general cut twice a year maybe 3 times unless you want it reducing you can cut them right back and will grow back quickly and will look nice again when leaves grow back"
