I read a lot of joking comments but it is a nuisance having a hedge that big, especially if it isn't yours. We moved in and had a laurel hedge (don't ever plant a laurel) that was allowed to grow 10ft tall and 6ft wide and it was completely unmanageable. We were quoted in excess of £2k to get it down to 5ft and it grows a foot or more a year. It's hard work to constantly do it.david29dpo said:

Someone in aged years can't maintain that and it will cost a lot to try.
If it's over 6ft I wonder if you can report it to the council as it's blocking light and ask that it's reduced in height? I'm not sure the stance they will take on ownership but it would be a good test?1 -
