Depends on what type of hedge it is ?

If it's too big for the loppers run a chainsaw straight through it. Any rough cut looking ends trim off with a good set of loppers or garden shears. Cut the front and back edge at a 45 degree angle, it will give it a fuller look when it grows back. It'll take a while.
