    I do my side and the top on both sides if you know what I mean, it's about 7 ft high and 3 foot thick.

    Its planted in my garden so feel a bit responsable.

    If they were away on Hols then I do both sides as a surprise.

    If you don't mind the bit of extra work it would be a nice thing to do as you are the one who planted it

    bit late in the season to cut any hedge, weve had our first frost. What kind of hedge is it?

    You planted the hedge so it is up to you to maintain it. If you do not maintain the far side (your neighbour may not bother either) this could cause problems for your hedge in the long run.

    thanks for the reply's i don't know much about hedging , i don't even know what type of hedge i have , there were trees that come together as a hedge if you know what i mean, they really shot up this year and could do with a little tidying they might only need cutting once a year that would be grand i have memories of my grand father clipping a hedge every week and he use to spend hours at it and it seemed at the time that it was a lot of work

    post a photo close up of hedge and we'll give a go at id, and if you post a photo of the length we'll give a go at where to clip for you. My grandad had a escallonia hedge and I used to help him do it as he got older and I still love the smell of escallonia.
