A hedge often makes a fantastic way of creating a boundary and giving privacy to a backyard. Pruning hedges is important to keep the plants healthy, well-shaped, and under control - as they can quickly get overgrown and unruly if left untrimmed for too long.
Overgrown hedges can be unsightly and block sunlight from getting into your garden. They may invade space, lead to disputes between neighbours, and even result in fines when tall hedges flout homeowners association rules. A hedge that has got overgrown can be trickier to prune, but it is not a lost cause and they can be brought back into line over time.
