Your question about restoring a beech hedge reminds me that I really ought to write something more detailed on the subject than this reply. But here goes. This is almost the perfect time of year (but not on a freezing day) to really have a good hack at your beech hedge. Don't be scared about cutting too much off - beech hedge plants will regrow from old wood. Good luck Hi Andrew – any chance of a picture? or more description as it must be huge given the trunk sizes.

It has become rather oversized - way too fat and rather ragged. Neither of us know anything about beech hedge plants (which is probably why it is in a mess). What do we do to put it back in shape?

Sounds like that is what you mate dave did to his beech hedge. Talking of which I have a beech hedge that is a bit overgrown - is now the time to hack it back?
