Ideally, hedges should be pruned in late winter, when plants are dormant and haven't produced budsâparticularly if you're cutting back drastically. You don't want them to break bud before you prune because you want the plant's energy to go toward producing new growth where you want it, says Roger.
Report Abuse. Laurel hedges can be cut any way you like. But if you want it to look good, it needs to be finished with secateurs to remove the leaves cut in half by shears or trimmers. If you don't mind it looking crap, use hedgetrimmers, a thrasher on a tractor or a goat! Personally i do it all with secateurs. have a massive laurel hedge in my front garden, which I tried to cut with an electric hedge cutter when we first moved here and it went brown all over, as I had bruised the leaves.
