    I agree with Billybop

    If you do it in November it will be bare sticks through winter, might as well leave until Jan, but after that there might be nests.

    November should be fine, compost / mulch, and topdress with a good handful of Vitax Q4 in the Spring.

    did one every year at one house, once a year heavy cut back off the footpath and top september/october time never a problem
