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.
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 âtattyâ 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. Donât prune your hedge if it is very hot and dry at the time.
