    Good morning ... and welcome.

    Do you have a photo, as that might help with advice.  (To add it, just click the symbol that looks like a mountain in a frame.)

    It's rarely a long term problem and usually corrects itself. You can just cut off any badly affected foliage. It's a bacterial situation, and it isn't something you can 'treat' as such, as the plants outgrow it as they mature and develop, and new foliage covers any damage    :)
    If the site it's in was well prepped, and the plants are otherwise healthy, I wouldn't worry about it.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Is your laurel hedge the common laurel or Portuguese laurel?  Also, what kind of soil do you have @dimech277637570?
    Wirral. Sandy, free draining soil.
