Yes, the neighbour has pruned my leylandii hedge, which I maintain
to a decent height (7 feet). I get the tree surgeons in annually to
cut it, and I trim it myself a couple of times a year. The
neighbour has cut the hedge on his side almost back to the bare
trunk.

As long as it keeps growing on my side then fine, but I'll be mighty
angry if the hedge dies.

Did you plant the hedge Janice? if so you should have planted it 2'
inside the boundary line, too many people plant hedges on the boundary
line.


For leylandii @ 7ft, more that 2'! Anything less is antisocial.

Don't be daft, 2' to the boundary and 2' towards you gives a 4' thick
hedge, why would you want it thicker than that? or are you going to go
on about the height again?
