Hedge Cutting in Baltinglass
Hedges in Ireland grow hard and fast, and a hedge left two seasons stops being a hedge and becomes a row of trees. Cutting is mostly judgement: how far back a species will take without dying off, where the growth point is, and — legally — when you are allowed to cut at all.

Hedge Cutting in Baltinglass - FAQ
Is there a legal season for hedge cutting?
Yes. Under the Wildlife Act, cutting hedges is restricted between 1 March and 31 August, with limited exceptions for road safety and agriculture. Garden hedges have more latitude than field boundaries, but the nesting season is the reason most cutting happens in autumn.
How far back can a hedge be cut?
It depends entirely on the species. Laurel and privet take hard cutting and come back; conifers like leylandii do not regrow from bare wood, so cutting into brown kills that section permanently.
How often does a hedge need doing?
Once a year for most garden hedges, twice for fast growers like griselinia if you want it sharp. Leaving it three years turns a trim into a reduction job.
