Will I regret a naked fence?

Name changed in case my neighbours are reading.

My garden has hedges all around the grass. They're ok to look at, although don't particularly like them, but do seen to extend quite a way in from the fence (have tried to show in photos but it's tricky).

The grass area isn't that big, so I'm thinking we should just cut everything right back and so we gain valuable garden space. There's actually a bit more grass to the right which isn't pictured but you get the idea. As well as gaining space, we would no longer have to keep trimming the hedges!

But a post about 'naked fences' has made me think. Will we regret just having fences to look at rather than hedges? Will it be impossible to grow grass there? And would it take years to get the hedges back when DC aren't so active in the garden.

Would love to hear from anyone who got rid of hedges and is either pleased or regretful!

Looking at the pictures, you don't have time to mow the grass which takes up more time than cutting back the hedges which also need a ruthless cutting shaping session.

I'd pay someone to deal with these bushes and shrubs which have got somewhat out of hand
