BRUTAL 40 year hedge REDUCTION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Follow The Country Cottage Gardener as I carry out a reduction on a well established Yew (Taxus) hedge in Kent, the garden of England. Using a Swift 40v Battery Chainsaw and Stihl HS45 hedge trimmer to tackle the job at hand.

I wish there was an update video to see how it grows back in a couple of years!
Nice work mate, yew is great to trim, but a horror to reduce, wood is hard as nails, looks 👌
That little saw did a good job. Again it surprised me just what it could cope with.
This is just what I was looking for, I have a similar job and now that I have seen how you did this, I feel some what confident about the task that awaits me.
Thanks for watching 👍
Another tidy job Chris and the weather looks good there.
Thanks very much. This was filmed a couple of weeks back now so the weather was a little better.
YEW did a grand job SIR Chris 👍👍🎯
🥁🥁🥁 haha
Well done for you friend keep support and Good luck👍 👍👍
I wish you always be happy every day and forever 💪💪💪
Thanks very much 👍
Beaut work chap. Opened up the view beautifully 👍
Thanks pal. Hope I can convince them to let me put a arched gateway in.
@@TheCountryCottageGardener The archway is a great idea - especially if you can get it to line up with a focal point beyond 😀
You did a great job on the hedge. It nice when you have a plan and then execute it well.
Thanks very much.
I've followed your lead pal and growing some jalapeno 🌶️🌶️ peppers indoors 💪
@@TheCountryCottageGardener that’s great. I’m at my grandfathers’ house today and there is some new growth started and it’s been 2 weeks 👍
Mine are only about 4 inches so far after 2 weeks
Nice job. Would a leylandii recover from such a brutal cutback?
Hi. No Leylandii never recover when cut into old wood
Nice job done there 👍🏻💪🏻
Thanks very much. Cheers for watching 👍
Awesome work!
Thanks for watching 👍
learn something new every day, I didn't know if you could came back from a hard cut, but there yew are, lol
When the client first purchased the house 35 years ago these were all massive trees they cut down to make the hedging.
@@TheCountryCottageGardener kinda screwed that up a bit
@@TKG haha yew should have said you were being funny
You certainly work in some lovely places mate, and those old buildings look superb. How long would you say the battery lasts (and does it offer good full power until the battery dies? Great reduction on the hedge (but you missed a bit lol), how long before it fully recovers - couple of years?
Morning pal. Thanks for watching. I did I full review on all the Swift battery tools earlier this year. This is the link to the chainsaw review which goes into a bit more detail about it. ua-cam.com/video/NU7y1jvwd6k/v-deo.html
I think it'll look better after two years but at least three to get it back to a nice trim standard.
Tbh I did miss a couple of bits but the battery was going on the GoPro (don't tell anyone 🤣🤣🤣)
@@TheCountryCottageGardener 🤣 lol
Wow the bushes look sooo much better now.
Thanks, look.even better in year or two 👍
10/10 mate deffo a better view now. like you self I always get my line with the hs45 first.
It's a little hard on the machine but works a treat. Better than a string line or paint ect
Hi Chris great job and video as always. Did the hedge need cutting it didn’t look to bad before? Hope you are well and still busye getting colder now and the grass is at the end for me just odd jobs I have left to do over the next few months.
Hi Carl. Thanks for watching. I trimmed the hedge up about 2 months ago in this video ua-cam.com/video/oKZ62uUPrgg/v-deo.html
But they decided to reduce it. Works still going well for me, few lawns still to finish up.
Good job yet again. Today am climbing and topping three birch trees.
Sounds like a good days work pal. I've just tried some new arb clothing which was comfortable. Keep safe pal 👍
Good one mate.. they do look bad when first done but it will come back..
Am thinking at least two years to fill and the third for good trimming again
I was told never to use a chainsaw on small branches or brush, as it could have a tendency to kick back and do some damage.
I've lived to film and tell the tail 😅 tbh this battery saw has little to no kickback
@RusticBadger You're a professional. I worry about the weekend warriors, you know the ones, swinging a chainsaw around wearing shorts and sandels..lol.
@@martynbuzzing3327 🤣🤣
I have some yews I want to reduce I was wondering what tool to use to get into the interior to thick for hedge trimmer. I see you used a little chain saw?
Nice reduction there. I'd normally use loppers and a silky saw for yew like that but the small chainsaw is a great shout.
Rolling the shoulders in gave a great finish and the trained eye is the best level you can use. Top work
Thanks very much pal ☺️ that little saw has been a real asset so far. For a domestic brand it works really well. Hope your having a good weekend off 👍
Small domestic kit used for the right job is great. It wont take down a huge tree but nor will a small petrol save either. Right tool right job.
I'm working both days this weekend getting jobs finished before Christmas for customers. Keep them happy. Hope you've got some time off
@@333jtj that is very true.
I've got a full weekend off after a couple heavy days fencing. In fact I have a couple days of next week too. Was going to be for Christmas shopping but got all that done online early. Keep safe and don't work too hard pal 👍
@@333jtj will the top of the hedge still grow afterwards and turn green again
Top job Chris 👌
This comment is like a Paul Hollywood handshake 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheCountryCottageGardener 🤣🤣
what happened to using the chainsaw idea???
A great job. I’m slightly worried now. I have a laurel 40 year old laurel hedge which had grown to 7 feet. It was all tangled wood with some leaves on top. I cut it all down to 2 feet from the ground. Will it grow back again? I thought it would!
Thanks for watching and your comment.
Am in Kent the UK and on Thursday I took 4ft off a load of laurel hedging. It'll be fine as they grow really well and are tough as old boots.
@@TheCountryCottageGardener Phew! Thank you for that.
Great job
Thanks pal, I'll do a update video end of the summer 👍
@@TheCountryCottageGardener looking forward to it.
Good job again what make his your cap
Thanks. It's a PETZL Steato
One question, just got some budget chainsaw (oregon cs1500), and while it does its job cutting wood, already cut dozen of decent sized walnut trees, I cant seem to make it cut hedge, since my chain keeps coming off. Only idea I got is buying new chain, but maybe my chainsaw isnt meant to do this type of job.
Have you been particular about getting the chain tension right? There are many videos (and the instruction manual) to say how to do this. But if you haven't been particular about setting & adjusting it, a new chain will stretch on first acquaintance with resistance....and will then come off quite readily. And dull cutters will help it jump the tracks. You need a 4.0mm round file and guide (the Stihl one works fine) and an engineer's vice...and more YT videos for fixing this. Don't overtighten the chain either - esp when hot - it's a shortcut to wrecking the motor, chain and sprocket spindles.
Nice...👍.
Very good 👍 i want to be with you working for fun a day amazing skills here.
Haha thanks very much, your too kind
What was the saw please
Hi mate
I’m not a professional but I have the best part of 500ft of 7ft high hedging on my property that I look after, half is privet & the other half is yew. I’m getting myself a new hedge trimmer and was wondering, in my situation would you favour a 60cm blade or a 70cm blade?
(Just for reference I’m looking at the stihl hse electric range, 71 & 81)
Thanks for any help 👍
Hi. Thanks for watching and the comment. Tbh I've not used those unit so really couldn't comment on them. How ever a good friend and fellow UA-camr The Fully Charged Gardener uses all Stihl battery kit. Am sure if you commented on his channel he would be able to advise.
@@TheCountryCottageGardener brand aside would you probably go for the biggest blade possible with that sort of hedge? 👍
@@theconsistentnoddy9851 yes, I tend to go for bigger than I'd need.
Hi, may I know how long does it take for the top to be green again?
1 year
@@TheCountryCottageGardener Thank you, I want to shorten our hedge but concerned about some ppl say the cedar doesn't grow well from the hardwood cut.
@@lionelnlex this is yew/taxus not cedar
@@TheCountryCottageGardener Oh, I see. Do you have any idea about cedar?

What chainsaw is that? cheers
It's a battery saw made by company called swift
👍
Wow you full on attacked it
