I just had someone cut a deciduous hedge down to ground level thinking
that if I cut it down before it started growing again this spring, it
might not come back. However, the guy that cut it said it would just
grow back unless I put "something" on it to kill it. Can someone
please tell me what I can do to make sure it doesn't come back?

Paint it with Silvex. That will solve the problem once and for all.
