We’ve all been there..I’ve never understood neighbours complaining about cutting the tops of hedges. I think to myself you’re getting the top done for free what you complaining about! Bit baffling really. Anyway, great work mate👍🏼
Exactly this it doesn’t make sense if someone wanted to do mine I’d say thanks 😂
@@andrewkensett5863 true
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 If the height is reasonable and not all the clippings is chucked on my veggies, cut it! My neighbour used to toss everything on my onions which didn't do them good and one day, he suggested a big cut down to a metre.
Nope, the wife has a hobby standing looking in on me i a hole I have in the hedge on another side. Imagine her having a spot where she can sit in a chair looking in and annoying herself over my weeds.

Great work buddy, keep it up.
Thanks mark hope your keeping well mate
The fun part will be next week when I have to finish the top just hoping the neighbour isn’t too difficult
Keep grinding buddy,love the gang.
@@jeremyminns5627 thank you mate and yes you can’t beat family 💚😎 most reliable support and help you know 💪🏼
Great transformation and team work
Thank you June 🙏
Well done lads and to Harvery he's coming on really well! :)
Thanks Dan he’s slowly changing his mindset with each year that passes I’d love him to carry on and come on full time
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 yeah would be amazing if he would carry on and work with you full time, that’s what I’d like my son to do in years to come 😊
I loved the toy spider scare! ❤ not gotten to the weirdo neighbour yet..
It’s cool we love to have a laugh at work it helps we have good banter but still take the work seriously you know abit like what Alex from aches lawn care used to do in his vids
It’s nice to see the fun side aswell as the serious stuff
Great job guys
Those wide hedges are nightmare 😅
Thanks mate next week will be more interesting to see how much grief we get trying to finish the top it’s so long this hedge and wide in parts
Have a nice weekend mark 😃
Solid work mate , like bed the vid on if it's worth trying to get more now blow and go's.
Can totally get where your comming from in regards to aches and pains.
Quick question that hedge do you include that in your general maintenance remit with the client ?
As i would defo class that as a separate job.......unless your charging top whack for maintenance
On this job yes it’s all included but most are set price this is a regular weekly all year round job mate
Fantastic video, I like very much the three of you. Just asking why didn't your client get on previously with his own neighbour about the height hedge cutting then give you the instruction?! It would save you disagrement... Keep up the good work! 🙂👍👌👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇨🇵
@@sylviacheve7837 thank you really appreciate the kind words
Neighbours hey I have no idea
I’m sure we will resolve it next week
Great work 👏
Thanks Anthony
Lads great work
I hate it when neighbours share hedges with clients
I’ve had this before it makes it very awkward for you and like you said you just want to turn up and do your job
Hope the neighbour doesn’t give you any hassle next week when you carry on with the top
It’s just mental as like you said it won’t cost them anything your going to make it look good and tidy up if anything it’s a win win for the Karen
Can’t wait to see the hedge finished
Nice video love the banter too 🙌🏼
Hi buddy it’s a real issue neighbours and boundary’s I do get it but it’s just a pain
My client wants the hedge done and willing to pay for it so the neighbour won’t have to pay a penny and we’re make it like nice
I will film a part two next week
Thanks for watching buddy
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83yeah looking forward to part 2 next week as someone else said just do your half unless they change their minds and are happy for you to go round and do it
Have a good weekend Pete are you watching the football Saturday

Let’s hope we can win Switzerland will be hard tho
I had trouble yesterday where my customer wanted 8 screening trees along his back fence we installed,
He said he had spoke to the neighbours at the back so we started digging holes.
the mans wife came out "i hope youre not planting them trees my husband isnt happy and hes home at 2 o clock"
I said were digging the holes and standing the trees in for now but they arent being planted. If we wait until 2 to start digging we will be behind by half a day, whether its these trees or not something is being planted here so tell your husband that.
He came home came round and yes we went ahead and planted the trees with his approval. Bis fuss for nothing 🤦♂️🤦♂️.
@@james8833 bloody women mate nightmare 🙌🏼
My mates neighbour tried that…..we called his bluff and chopped the whole thing down
🤣🤣🙌🏼
Something I've always thought with combi/extension hedge cutters can you put a second extention bar on the cutter. Just to get the extra reach for the odd bit keep up the good work pete..
Hi buddy yes I think that’s possible not a bad shout I think that or a slightly bigger ladder and it would make all the difference
Thanks for watching have a good weekend mate 😎☀️
I've considered doing that with my husquvaner but it's bendy enough as it is with one extension. Plus more difficult to manage whilst balancing on a ladder.
Been there!! 🤦🏻♂️ I’m really placid and if there’s hassle I just leave the bits I can’t get to!
Enjoying watching these vid's. Been tinkering with mine and my neighbour's garden maintenance for decades now and coming up to retirement so I invested in some decent kit with a view to doing it as a pocket liner. Other than tools /transport, what else should I consider?

Great work as always.
Pete do you have any advice regarding qualifications? Had a few questions about professional qualifications around general gardening, hedge trimmer and tree cutting, any pointers ?
I'm doing level 2 RHS but others would be handy.
@@JMBgardenservices that’s a tricky one for me to answer just because I was trained by a qualified pro but then when I went solo I kind of already knew the basics for gardening and carried on from there
I think there are some courses which might be of benefit but I’d say not essential as most of what we do isn’t rocket science and can be learned along the way
I know a few people who went down the qualifications route and a few that just self taught and both are earning a good living now
My grandad once said the best way to learn is to just do it I’ll never forget them words and for the best part he was right
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 thanks mate. Im happy with the maintenance side - thinking maybe a tree surgery course might be a benefit. Thanks again bud
@@JMBgardenservices 100% as you’d get more of the safety side of it covered it’s something I would consider myself
Do your clients side,top.
Let them ague it out.

Would save a lot of agro mate
Handle bar extension for that strimmer man I tell you will will be amazed the difference it will make to you and your back 🤠
Hi Graham I think I’ll have to bite the bullet and sort this I’ve had a few people recommend it
How much are they just out of interest mate
Let the customer resolve it dude it's not your problem
@THETATTOOGARDENER83 depending on what type you go for £16-£100 ebay has plenty these days type in strimmer handle extention
@@Grahams-Grass thanks for this mate 🙌🏼
Even better than the mower as mulcher is leaving the stuff where it falls 😂 ! I mean on a serious note I have done that with a lot of hedge waste and come back to it later on as a project 😂 once it starts to decompose. Obviously it depends on factors.. the general area where you are, the customer, also if it’s grass underneath and it’s pristine lawn of course it’s gonna kill off the grass underneath but if it’s scrubby or whatever, like I’ve always said, every garden entirely different behaves entirely differently that’s why an hourly rate same for everyone doesn’t work.
@@neilhatton6018 I’ve got a mix of hourly rates and set price I’m slowly getting a few more set price which is better as I can squeeze in a few more jobs and make a few extra £££ which does come in handy
A job of this size is pretty big to my noob eyes how long did it take? How offten do you have to visit this client and ballpark what do you charge? Nice kit you have inspired to get a few bit you have especially that mulcher thingie.
Hi mate thanks for watching literally you can use any old mower to mulch my old Honda Izzy worked a real treat for this too
Honestly massive jobs that want everything it’s sometimes easier to go down the hourly rate unless you can agree a set price for lawns and hedges then just do weeding as hourly I’d personally go down that route if I was you
If I had my time again that’s what I’d do
I visit the bigger clients weekly as they need it to keep them under control
Hope this helps bro have a great weekend 🏴
I highly recommend the 14ft (what ever size you want) Tripod ladder with the 3 adjustable feet. I got mine a few years ago now, id never use anything else now!
Depending where you are based (sorry new to your channel and my own gardening channel) id let you use mine! As i bet youll buy one after.!
Fantastic video again!
Hi Matt I’m based in Surrey and West Sussex mate I’ve heard a few people say the 14 ft ladders are a good size to go for
I’ll check your channel too
Thanks for watching
@THETATTOOGARDENER83 I see I'm in Dorset, I'd say what ever size get the 3 fully adjustable feet as it's amazing working on steps or banks.
@@MatthewLoveGardener we come down to Dorset I meet my mate Stephen cheese and Harley HD garden care
We stayed at warmwell but we’ve also got family in Dorchester and around the area
@@MatthewLoveGardener I’ve just subscribed to your channel mate
Do some more videos mate chat to the camera it’s a nice way for people to get to know you
I’ll give you a shout out in my next video
@THETATTOOGARDENER83 ah that's cool were have to arrange something sometime, I'm near Ringwood, most our work is North Dorset area
Yea. 20 years in this trade, I just leave those debates between customer and neighbour. Good work mate
Thanks mate yeah it’s alot easier I hate being the man in the middle
Your dad with the spider 😂😂😂
He got me good 🤣
Looking good your customer should talk to the neighbor though it’s there hedge let them sort it out between them it seems like us gardeners have to always keep the peace we just want to earn a living
Yeah mate exactly this happens all the time the worst one I had was a few years ago a lady called the police it was funny but kind of pathetic at the same time I walk off that job yet 6 years later we still get it
I've had a what the he'll do you think you're playing at. Lol
It’s really hard not to give them an obvious answer like (well I’m cutting a hedge or mowing a lawn) we have to remain professional but not easy when dealing with difficult people
Yeh you could put the carbon fibre ext on, but you tell the twit, to come & run it for a length of time horizontal. Nice work.
Thanks Adrian we do have a carbon fibre bar but as you’ve just said a hedge that long in both directions would be a killer as the weight of it for that time whilst balancing on a ladder isn’t easy
Thanks for watching mate have a great day 😎🙌🏼
I think leave that dispute to the home owner to sort out.
Cracking work.
Thanks mate good advice
1st question is who owns the hedge? In the first part where you started cutting there was a section of wire fencing and it looked as though the roots of the hedge were on the neighbours side. We had this problem and when we consulted a solicitor he said if the roots are on your side the hedge is yours, so all the neighbour could do was keep it level on his side to the boundary,but could not cut the top as the hedge was not his !!
It’s a difficult one as it’s right down the middle of the boundary so both will argue it’s their hedge
Since I made this video it’s been resolved and we’ve now got permission to finish the hedge later in the year
Nice Hat Buddy , I just pinch Marra's T-towl's and ware them on my head, I use to ware the baby's burb cloth's on my head, I got bird pooped on yesterday as well, when I working under a tree.
Cut loads of the green stuff to day!!! 🤠👍💪🙏👌🤣

Hi Steve it’s light and really handy to save my neck getting burned works a treat

Keep up the great work mate pleased you had a busy day 🙌🏼😎☀️
I put 3 bandanas in my cargo shorts for putting around my forehead for catching the sweat. They also work well for blowing your nose, as a napkin and also as a tourniquet.
@@nancywells5626 nice!!
have you got an extension bar and another one put them to gether extra lengh
I do but I struggle with the weight and the grounds alittle uneven so I’d have to be careful
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 yeah i ve only done it at the end with the bits i cant reach but if the customers happy with what youve done got paid thats all that matters just hope neihbours one of thise that leaves it ten year to grow then decides to cut it
Nice work Pete. Any recommendations for anti vibration gloves? Thanks 👍
I’ll try and dig out some links over the weekend mate

Quick question, why do you use a long handle trimmer for the sides?
@@rhyseve7644 it’s quicker than trying to reach the height bits with a ladder I guess I’ve just always used them
Sometimes I use the small hedge cutters for shrubs or the top lip of the hedge
Surely Mr Grimshaw?
Mr Grimsdale 😂
Dads a joker 😎😂
What do you do with the laurel hedge clippings?. I'm never sure what to do with them. Many Thanks and Great Work and Video!!
I mulch them with the mower like I did in this video then bag up once I’ve blown into a pile
I’m lucky the most of the gardens I do have a compost pile so it can all go on there to rot down
Multching does make it easier
Thanks for watching mate
I give you credit though Pete mate, I’d never take on a garden such as that. I’m sure the customer is lovely but it’s all big big stuff, a lot of shrubs tall hedges, more hedges, formal hedges bit expansive lawns 😂 it’s ok you’ve got the manpower and the tools, I’m giving you a compliment not having a go, I just wouldn’t want to take that on but fair play to you
@@neilhatton6018 you think this ones big j might have a real treat I’ve just quoted a 150 ache site all hedge cutting and strimming
It might be the biggest contract or garden that anyone’s working on UA-cam anywhere it’s mental there will be a team of us if we get the gig the price is in
@THETATTOOGARDENER83 Bloody HELL mate 🤣 I've a lot of respect for you you're not messing around! I'll stick to my postage stamp gardens 🤣😍 looking forward to seeing this new one though , how do you go about pricing something like that
@@neilhatton6018 so they want a full day hedge cutting every week all year round they have a fork life so we can do the tops
I’ve priced it and they want to give me a trial month to see how we go it’s full on but if I’m aloud I’ll get some great content from here
@@neilhatton6018 because of the huge size you just have to do a day rate per man
I've always done that it way with my mower
It makes it easier
if you bagged it up you’d have bags and bags of waste were as multching and blowing into one means less rubbish into one or two bags
It’s much better
thats a lot of grass to cut with the push mower. couple of questions. how long did it take to cut all that grass with the push mower? and after you mulched the hedge cuttings it looked like a lot to just blow away, did you still have to bag some? great video, thanks!
Hi mate yeah we normally use the John deer but it wasn’t taking anything off on the lowest setting so the only way to take the Daisy heads off was to use the Honda pro
Dad spent 2 hours mowing
The clippings got blown to a pile and picked up but wasn’t as much as clearing the bulk it saved alittle time
Thanks for watching mate
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 2 hours mowing is less than I thought actually, thats not bad at all. I thought you would still have to collect the hedge cuttings but mulching it is a brilliant idea, will defiantly keep that in mind. great content mate, thanks again!
@@zappa6366 thank you for the kind words yeah honestly mulching will have time use an older mower not your best one that you do all your main lawns with
Keep up the great work your end 🙌🏼
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 would it be bad to say my old mower is my best and only one? haha
joking aside I appreciate your time, mean a lot!
@@zappa6366 pleasure mate I reply to everyone always
Have a nice weekend
the ride ons dont cut as low as the pedestrians unless you you put spacers on the blades
I thought this was the case the grass hadn’t put to much on it was more weeds but looked awful so I just got dad to mow whilst I started the hedge
HLA86 or get another extension pole on your Kombi
I’m thinking of that as it’s way lighter than my petrol combi
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83game changer for me. So easy to extend and get those hard to reach pieces. Pretty solid piece of kit

i lean over to do neighbours side of hedge i'd not complain i can't understand why people want there hedges looking so tall and crap , those types of hedge trimmer you have wish i could find a light weight one i find them too heavy
The hla 66 and 86 are lighter but the batteries don’t last for big jobs unless you have loads of them so I often use the petrol combi’s

Whats annoying is that the Man Karen would have moaned if you only did half the top of the hedge probably saying " well he could have done my half while he was up there "
@@TheGardenersPost-007 yeah that’s also happened in the past sometimes your never right which ever you decide to do
People shouldn't let hedges get so high and wide, absolutely ridiculous and it's costs them a fortune to maintain.
Exactly and it takes longer to tidy them
Not only that the higher the hedges are more dangerous to do
So the neighbour wasn't protesting about the top being cut but just didn't want you going into their garden to do it?
@@dianefarnden8577 abit of both but I’ve since spoke with them again and they are now ok for me to do the top but not to go into her garden they’re happy to pick up any waste that drops
Personally, I don’t get why anyone would want to have their large hedges cut in bird nesting season? There’s no way you can survey for nesting birds adequately. This is why it is illegal for Farmers to cut hedges in nesting season, this should in my opinion apply to commercial gardeners as well. I do all my hedges from the end of September through to February. I only work with clients who understand the importance of the nesting season.
Good job on the hedge though.
@@adamrobinson2696 I normally wait until sept or winter
Winters a great idea as it gives us work when we need it etc
This clients paid me upfront for the year and so it’s hard to say no to doing it as they could get rid of me and ask for their money back which I now don’t have due to paying tax bill etc
Most of my clients understand the bird nesting season and happy to wait
Have a nice weekend mate thanks for watching buddy
