    Did you water them regularly? They will have needed extra water during the dry summer.

    Doesn't look good to me, they do need a lot of water. Our neighbour has them and they take all the goodness from the earth and affects other plants. Sorryimage

    A lot of us have come to realise that Leylandii is rarely a good choice for a hedge. Too big, too vigorous, too hungry, prone to browning, don't come back if pruned too hard. I could go on.They have lots of disadvantages. As yours are relatively young you could start again with something else?
