You're doing the right thing, Lee.
I've said it before but it can't be overstated:
Hedges should never be wider at the top than at the bottom. Not only does it look bad as hedges mature, it's - more critically - bad for the health of the plants (though the ugliness is a result of the effect on plant health). Why? The lower foliage will receive less light for photosythesis over the course of each day, each season and their lifetime. As a result the plants will produce leas lower foliage, thus exposing stems, more foliage at the top becoming more top heavy and weaker. That's when lower canopy aetiolation (yellow leaves), losing chunks in gales, chunks growing in odd directions, bare patches appear due to the plants' insuffiiency to distribute limited nutrients (preferring and taking mobile nutrients (e.g. N) from older foliage to new shoots which can reach light) and disease susceptibility such a Box blight in Buxus sempervivum occur. The stress on the plants caused by malpruning exacerbates 'water sprouting' creating a greater proliferation of vertical stems. Quite the vicious cycle which require more maintenance and pruning visits.
Ideally there should be a slight taper, that is wider at the bottom to thinner at the top, to even out light exposure, though this is more critical for taller hedges.
It takes a few trims to get into shape, maybe a season or two to plump out and plenty of customer reassurance it's first and foremost for plant health. Reduced maintence costs and libiliy are a bonus.
👍👌
It's gone from a Punk hedge to a Funk hedge! Much neater, more cool with the colours Man! Will soon be the Classical, Country garden look! You are really putting your Soul into it! And will soon be Jazz how you picture it! I bet you were Reggae for a nice cuppa!
😅😅🤙🤙
Sometimes, all you can do, is all you can do!
Getting there 🙂....couple of months....BOOM 👌
Hi Lee, well what a difference I know you say only doing a little cut of hedges but WOW! can really see how fantastic they are going to look. Enjoying this series a really lovely place a beautiful retirement complex & all your hard work is just taking it to the next level. TFS (PS I tried the ham with spread cheese & grapes owwwww yummy!!)
Thank you 😊....yep should all come together over the next couple of weeks👍👍...im in the middle of scarifying all the lawns....place will pop soon....oh yeah I love that little snack 😋
Next few months will be great To watch.nice one Lee
Ooh next month ir so it's gonna pop👌👍
Keep making me laugh lee.great job by the way.😊
You bet 😉....thank you 😊
During winter, a paucity of videos but now it's Spring (but only for another month) so Lee's posting new videos
You'll trim it to be really square, eh? Did you know, laser cutting technology is already with us! Ignoring the fire hazard and "instantly melt someone's eyeballs from 100 meters away", you too can get yourself a laser and get it to cut the hedge right from the roadside! It'll be p e r f e c t l y cut.
.....And soon it WILL look like it's been later cut 😉
This is up there with my pet hate, when other people have been maintaining that area if you can call it that, they’ve done a naff job, not taking into consideration how those shrubs are going to look in years to come, then you’ve got a massive job on making everything look normal again, story of my life 😂
Great challenge though😉 will be looking good by summer 👍
This job must be giving you the 'mares Lee. Those hedges need a serious chopping down to a level where they can grow straight again, but that might frighten a few. It will come right in the end, but my God you have your work cut out here. Good luck 😀
Yeah...there is a lot of work ahead...but....its all needed and going to look brilliant real soon 😊
Morning Lee, those hedges were truly shocking, did the previous gardeners actually think they were doing a good job? PS the lift music is genius 😂
😅...I couldn't possibly comment 🙈.....glad you enjoyed the 🎵😊
I'm convinced the previous gardener went to work on a couple of beers 😂😂😂
😅😅🙈
😂 and he forgot to pop into Specsavers on the way! 😂
@@lindamccann3880 😅😅😅🙈
Love the outcome Lee, no one can believe it when you cut something back and it bounces back twice as good. I’m always trying to persuade my customers that their hugely over grown shrubs need a good haircut and when it’s done they have to agree. Great background music by the way, reminds me a bit of the Sweeney series. I expected to see you come screaming round the corner with the van on two wheels then skid to a halt and jump out with your hedge cutter pointing menacingly😂
Cheers😊....😅😅...yeah I do love the sweeney!!....
Hi Lee,
You can tell you feel more relaxed and enjoying being there,now you are starting to transform that complex into a more neater and maintained grounds..
You do a very good job,and I bet now the residents are extremely happy with the quality of work you do...
Excellent video 😊
Thanks Lee 😊...filmed this two weeks ago and there are LOTS more shoots 👍 scarified half the site and doing the rest next week so should be good vid 👍
A man with a plan. Just what that garden needs, it was a complete disaster. Looking forward to watching you transform the property. Yes we can see the dreadful hedge very well. Cute music 🎶 🎵
❤ from Queensland. Actually watching from a cruise to Japan for cherry blossom 🌸 and other exciting things. Hope you get some sunshine 🌞 soon ❤ Sue
Yep getting there....lots more growth since I filmed this video 👌👌....oooh lucky you..that's sounds brilliant 💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮
@@LHLgardenservices Well done 👏 you 👏 on the hedge
You should plan a trip to Japan and video the gardens. Autumn 🍂 is beautiful too. 😍
@suerobinson844 sounds good....May put it on bucket list 😍
You were the first gardening channel on YT I started following and you are still my favourite. Your dedication is exemplary. Fantastic choice of music today!
😊😊😊😊.. THANK YOU SO MUCH ... very very nice thing to say...you are much appreciated 🙏
Your doing a great job Lee looking forward to the series of the hedges
Thanks buddy....lots more green growth since I filmed this 👌👌
Slow and steady gets you there!
👍👍👌
You’re right it does look better.
Cheers 👍...filmed this two weeks ago and there are LOTS more green shoots now 👌👌 should look great soon
It's well on its way! 🙂
😊👍👍....Will be a hedge in no time
Nice job Lee. Great update 👍
Cheers pal😊 this was filmed two weeks ago and they have loads of green growth since then👌👌
King of the Hedges 👊🏼 They will be perfect by summer!
👑🤗.....thank you...there are LOTS more green shoots since the video 👌👌👌 think we will have a hedge by summer yeah 🙏😊
I wonder if the hedge will be healthier in general because the large branches are *really* close to the outside of the hedge.
It will have nice fresh growth on and you won't recognise it 😊😊
its very refreshing to see someone really take pride in their work, especially on a commercial job, so many just do the bare minimum, which is why the hedges are the way they are.
OI !!!...you mean the way they WERE 😅
@@LHLgardenservices You know what I meant lol🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😉
This is such a blessing Lee. I’m sure the residents will be so overjoyed to see the hedges in a proper state of being straight and level. If you’d left the hedges as is, it looks like they’d collapsed eventually. Must be so gratifying for you, to see them coming back into a more pleasing state. Many thanks for sharing with us. We all appreciate it, I hope as much as the residents will do 👍💎👍💎👍
Thank you 😊 I filmed this two weeks ago and there is an even greater improvement since then...LOTS of new green shoots 👍👍👍
@@LHLgardenservices That’s because you plan things meticulously and your TLC brings the appropriate results. Thank you again Lee 👍👍👍
A fantastic job. How did you get the camera to follow you around the hedge when you were mulching it. Did you have someone with a camera videoing you?
Thanks pal kind as always😊 ...its a drone 👍
It's funny was doing a similar thing today trying to get an out of shape yew hedge back in shape . Was that first hedge a box as all the box hedges in my area have box moth damage, only been the last couple of years Im in West Sussex not sure its made its way up to your area yet.All best Will😄
No nate it's Lonicera....I had box moth on my own box in my garden 😞
I really like this garden, landscaped beautifully. Hedges looking good Lee, nice work!👏👏👏👍🤩😊
Thank you 😊....should be looking good by summer👍....I've scarified half the site...Next half next week 👌
Another Lee-ism: "Straight-ish"
True story 😉
Great job but lots of 'talk', then again you are a Scouser 😁👍
😊....at least I don't just talk the talk.....I can walk the walk 👊
