That's it, really. I have a hedge of alternating conifers of two different types - I've no idea what they are, but they aren't leylandii, I'm pretty sure of that. I like to keep the hedge about 4 -5 ft high. It's looking a bit raggedy at the moment, so I'd like to tidy it up now, if it's a good time. But should I wait till autumn? Does it make no difference as they aren't deciduous?

It doesn't make a lot of difference when you do it, just remember to make sure you leave greenery on each branch or you will lose the said branch, it will just stay brown.
We normally do ours in April and the last trim in September.
