Questionsweeding around between laurel hedging

We planted a laurel hedge about 3 years ago now. I must admit we did not weed around it until this year. I would like to know should we take al lthe grass away around and between plants. So we have about 20 metres planted, does all of this need to be grass and weed free – would this be a help to our slowly growing laurel hedge. I will say it survived the winter, though not due to our TLC.
