Hedge-laying competitions occur up and down the country. Down here in Devon you will find quite a few nicely laid stretches. The technique and final appearance vary considerably around the country.
But the flail mower (which flings cuttings everywhere) is still used most, and to trim laid hedges between laying years.
 
At least they are hedge trimming in January. Some people like to slash it in September, before all the berries have been eaten.

Still the occasional hedge being trimmed in our immediate area, the mild dry winter has a multitude of farmers spreading muck. The lack of cleaning field entrances and turning points on the back roads are atrocious, some farmers just don't give a toss.I've mentioned to a couple who just looked at me. One farm south of Bridge of Weir is on a slight bend and is constantly manked up with no intention of cleaning.
