Wow what a great job you did on that bush I'm about to trim mine and I didn't know whether I should start at the top or on the sides but yours look beautiful thanks 👍
I'll never forget one of the estates where we would spend an entire week trimming every summer... they had 50 of one shrub, 100 of another, etc... all requiring shearing. So I guess you could say I had lots of practice during my 35 years of landscape contracting. Thanks for watching the BOBscaping channel and you are also welcome to visit my website: bobscaping.com/
Those Thunderclouds are fast growers, in fact the tops on some of the tree forms of that seem to outgrow their trunk and roots, so it probably is best to keep it trimmed.
Thanks for your comment and for watching the Bobscaping channel. Your comment reminded me of the old days, and one particular landscaping account, where just one of the many shrub beds on that estate would need 40 to 50 of the same shrubs sheared, so it was "put on the blinders" and throttle-up. Lots of practice!
You just reminded me that someday I need to get out the set of electric Little Wonder trimmers for a trimming video and try not to cut the extension cord, that used to happen a lot when we were trimming with those.
Hi! We have very very large round boxwoods that span the front of our large front porch. They are beautiful but are way too big and unfortunately cover the beautiful wood rails of our porch. Do you have a video on how to cut large round boxwoods way down and still maintain their rounded shape? Thanks!
First off, severely cutting back shrubs involves some risk. You may actually want to cut some "holes" in those shrubs, to let sunlight into the interiors, and let them grow for another season or two before you attempt a major cutback. This will help the inside branches get light and form some growth, which you will be counting on to take over along with adventitious buds. Timing is very important, so you should do it right at the beginning of their growing season, which would be late-March or early-April in Pittsburgh, Pa (and similar climates). All that being said, this video probably comes closest to how you will want to do it: ua-cam.com/video/RG9uIYSd7tg/v-deo.html Good luck!
Thank you, decades of practice and when people are paying you good money to work on their landscaping they expect no less. The excessive amounts of rain here in SW Pennsylvania (with no late frosts this spring to knock plants back) has everything here growing like crazy, so with or without the GoPro I need to get out to do some trimming! Brrrraaaaaaapp brrrraaaapp!
Thank you.. yesterday I posted a photo of the new growth on that Boxwood, since it was sheared this summer, on the Bobscaping Community page: ua-cam.com/users/bobscapingcommunity
Looks pretty good for a power tool. I'm told they still use hand clippers at Versailles. Ever wonder if a fella could really tell the difference just by looking?
If both sorts of tools are sharp and properly adjusted it would be extremely difficult to tell the difference. When you do this work professionally, and cost is an important factor, power shears become a necessity. Then the next necessity is using something like a Dremel tool to keep them sharp, as I demonstrate in this video: ua-cam.com/video/mF7KVlkA3eM/v-deo.html
I've never had a problem telling them apart. Sharp hand shears utilized properly are impossible to beat with a power tool. Sorry, that's just the way it is. I certainly agree that most professional groundsmen use power tools by necessity. However, there are those who manage to get paid nicely to practice the fine art of hand shearing. Hand or power, most spherical boxwoods are a mistake in judgment. Especially for those who either don't know how to shear or are unwilling to pay for superior quality work.
Thanks! Now that I have 2 interchangeable batteries from my TORO snowthrower and power shovel "One Battery Platform" it won't be long until I add a set of TORO electric hedge trimmers to try out on that famous Boxwood!
Ive been doing some landscaping I trimmed someone's boxwood that hadn't been trimmed for a few years that had a few dead spots should I trim out the dead branches
If you don't see any new growth emerging from those branches in another couple weeks, pruning them out would allow room for new growth to fill-in from other branches.
Pretty sure those are my Echo SHC-225 hedge trimmers, with a 33-inch shaft that really improves reach, and the list price is now shown as $419.99 on the Echo website. I also have a set of very similar SHC-212 hedge trimmers with a shorter shaft. Soon I'll be adding to my Toro 'Flex Force' garden tool assortment with some rechargeable hedge trimmers, stay tuned!
You got me on that one! ‘FLOWBEE’ wasn’t even in my vocabulary! Rick E. Hunts, a San Diego, California carpenter, was granted a US patent in 1987. Maybe Mr. Hunts will patent a new version of his product for shrubs. From Wikipedia: “The Flowbee is an electrically powered vacuum cleaner attachment made for cutting hair. Hair cutting devices like the Flowbee are used by astronauts during spaceflight missions, including on the ISS..."
'WINTER GEM' This variety and 'Green Velvet' are the most commonly available Boxwoods at nurseries here in western Pennsylvania, USA. I prefer this one out of those two, due to its glossy foliage and faster growth rate.
In Russia "Boxwoods" tree it's called "Самшит" This word is pronounced and sounds the same as you telling like "someshit".I know it is not useful information but just in case.=)) I just can't stop thinking about translations this word when I hear it.=D Anyway this tree is amazing.
LOL.... yes, if you have watched previous Bobscaping videos you realize this is the same Boxwood that was hand sheared in a previous year, the most popular video of it being the one where tarps were put down to catch the clippings seen here: ua-cam.com/video/B7bUlIx18no/v-deo.html BTW, it is a 'Winter Gem' Boxwood, one of my favorite varieties.
We used Echo hedge trimmers, mostly the extended reach type (SHC-225). Previously, we used all Little Wonder electric trimmers, and continued to use a short set of them for shearing Pom-Poms and Spirals. We used a Dremel tool for sharpening all of them, and WD40 for the blades.
Good video as always Bob. I know you stated your retired for the most part, but what is your workload like these days, do you still have some properties you maintain or just do a little here and there? Looking forward to some more content in 2019.
Got out of it all at once, you'll know when it's time! Loved the work, my clients and vendors, but don't miss fighting the weather, which has gotten so much wetter here the past couple years. I still think about all the landscapers and nurserymen I know who are still out there trying to get a lot done in a very short landscaping season. It's like being a squirrel, storing your summer walnuts for lean winters.
I brushed the brown ones off that Boxwood today, but good news, a video being posted within the next couple days shows a Boxwood being trimmed naturally, due to your comment and others. Stay tuned!
Q: "What to fertilize and what is the best fertilizer for him in the summer" A: An old nurseryman once advised me never to fertilize Boxwood. If you are going to fertilize it, probably a slow-release organic fertilizer like HOLLY TONE would be good, used early in the growing season one time. نصحني أحد رعاة الحضانة العجوز ذات مرة بعدم تخصيب Boxwood أبدًا. إذا كنت ستخصبها ، فمن المحتمل أن يكون الأسمدة العضوية بطيئة الإطلاق مثل HOLLY TONE جيدة ، وتستخدم في وقت مبكر من موسم النمو مرة واحدة.
I usually start on the top and then work down the sides while moving around the shrub backwards. If the shape doesn't come out right, allow those areas to grow-in a bit more during your next trim until it looks right to you.
@@bobscaping…or the H2 Kawasaki I had back in ‘72-73. It had automatic oil injection and I ran Arctic Cat Purple Power lube. Fast, very little smoke and smelled awesome. Another smell I miss from that time was a two stroke outboard. Mercury Marine Tower of Power’ Never had one, but the old Jacobson two stroke mowers were bulletproof. Sadly, trimmers, blowers, chain saws and weed wackers are about the only two strokes left anymore. As a homeowner, I use all Echo equipment, except for a Ryobi 18 volt cordless electric hedge trimmer to replace the corded Black & Decker I still have. I’d love to go two stroke for the hedge trimmer but haven’t been able to convince myself to spend the money….yet.

@@bobscapingThem weeds have deeper roots but will outcompete turf grass. Here in Michigan, up north, that’s what mused to be referred to as a ‘cottage lawn’.
Power shears are what we primarily used when trimming large, established shrub beds for clients over the years. Early on we used electric trimmers ('Little Wonder' brand) and later, various models of Echo 2-cycle gas-powered trimmers like seen in this video (..one big plus was fewer cut extension cords ;-) Another huge advantage (other than speed) was the longer reach these longer trimmers afforded, meaning less bending and less ladder work, but of course they were heavier to hold for long periods of time. Thanks for watching the Bobscaping Channel!
It actually looks nicer this spring with some irregular new growth all over, but many people do prefer a very formal sheared look to their shrubbery, so to each, his or her own.
With the first pass and get married to the tree you dropped it a lot and that part is going to get dry if you do not know do not take video first learn a little more

This is absolutely satisfying 🌳🍃🌱🌲
Getting close to Boxwood shearing time again!
Great job tightening that circular box wood
It's starting to look wild again as it keeps getting bigger!
Take a rake to the shrub to clean off the clippings and go over it again. Great work with the trimmers.
Thanks Michael!

Those power trimmers are pretty awesome!
How do you do such a good job?
Three things: 40 years or practice, the basic shape of that Boxwood was already established, and sharp, well-adjusted shears.
Looks pretty good for a power tool. I'm told they still use hand clippers at Versailles. Ever wonder if a fella could really tell the difference just by looking?

What tool do you use to sharpen your trimmers?
Dremel tool with a wedge-shaped abrasive bit.
That is exceptionally round....the Egyptians would be in awe...the pyramids don't have anything on this beauty.
It can also be seen from space... recently the ISS was spotted flying over to capture photos!
Just curious but what's the connection between boxwood shrubs and Egyptians and round shapes to polyhedron shapes?

It must have been tough to do that job with a camera in one hand

He's doing it all wrong! To get a round shape, you need to cut it in a round circle. UGH!
I noticed this Boxwood stood up better to the 10-inches of heavy snow we just had than the naturally trimmed ones which were splayed open.
It was nicer, fresher, greener before. Now it looks dead.
You have a point there, it definitely changes the look, and it's getting close to annual shearing time again, maybe once the weather cools down a bit.
