  • Trimming a privet (ligustrum) hedge
    A privet hedge ready for its summer trim, cutting new growth back and shaping it to a pleasing shape.
    I often get asked for hints and tip on the best way to cut or how to trim a hedge, my advice is always, NEVER RUSH and plan ahead, in most cases, its best to trim the sides first and then the top, look first for any dangers, but enjoy the task.

I find the hand held to be straining on my lower back😳 My pole hedge trimmer allows me to reach farther making it easier and not causes much stress, I have recently purchased a 4 foot platform ladder to help stabilize and less reach. curious of your thoughts of Pole hedge trimmer versus handheld thank you. that machine you’re using rechargeable I believe looks fantastic.

    Hi Jason. V nice finish. After this I’m seriously considering battery hedge tools. I’m guessing there’s a lot less vibration than a petrol equivalent? What the weight and the balance like? Cheers for another great vid. 👍

    • @jasongardener3425
      @jasongardener3425  2 роки тому +1

      Cheers mate, the battery hedge trimmers are so nice to use, yes, less vibration/noise/no fumes and a much more efficient way of working, depending on pat battery you put in, yes lighter too.
      If your thinking of trying battery out, I would suggest trying the hla66 first, very versatile trimmer and would give you a good feel for the battery kit

      Hi, I put the bevel on it last year fist time, as helped to make front garden look more open, with out taking the height off the hedge.

    Great Job. Important to have a Quality trimmer like yours. Looks like a Stihl. I've got 5 or 6 but they're all pretty CRAP.
