No some get done every 2 years. Important bits every year and the bits that do not cause any issues regarding boundries, access or getting in the way of kit we leave to do what it likes. No saw blades for us.

I try not do mine until after xmas so the birds can have the berries etc,most of my customers are horsey folks and want theirs doing asa, some have big hedges and I cut one pass each year on those so there is always some two year old growth for fruiting,I do the same on my bigger ones but cut the rest every year as late as possible

Surely a lot of that is annual lets so you wouldn’t need to worry about hedges anyway ?

You either like the job or absolutely hate it
I don't mind doing the field hedge but hate doing the main road. We have a B road going along our farm. Takes a morning to cut it. people ignore the signs and drive like nutters. Had a 3 near misses this year.
