Hello guys , would like to know when youse are starting your leylandii hedges . I was thinking late March but is this still too early ? Thanks alot :001_smile:

 

I do mine whenever the customer wants . Never had a had a problem with trimming in the winter . Sometimes the hedge will go brown on the tips . If done when really cold .

same here, just put one off for a week or two while this really cold snap goes but then will get it done.

Anyone think about nesting birds when scheduling conifer work?

 

Wildlife and countryside act and all that?

 

Shouldn't be a problem if simply trimming. The nests will be well back inside the hedge and would be difficult to damage. Contrary to popular belief birds will put up with a short spell of disturbance near the nest. RSPB etc regularly clamber around nests, removing chicks for ringing etc with no adverse effects. As long as you are not going back & forth over a nest site (very unlikely I would suggest) the little critters should be fine.
