I would not regard a row of Leylandi type trees as a hedge.

It certainly is considered so within the 'high hedges' legislation (but
that doesn't apply AFAIK here, as the OP is in Scotland)

When does a group of trees become a hedge?

The legislation defines what is considered a hedge for it's purposes,
basically a line of 2 or more (or maybe more than 2) trees spaced
closely together. You can look it up easily enough if you are interested.

*Evergreen* trees. Deciduous don't count.

Ahh yes, Thankyou Kay
