Job I started a couple of weeks ago but got back today to finish just a short conifer hedge 185 meters long and 13ft at its widest.

First pictures took from 1 way then the other.

 

 

Rather you than me!

What conifer is it? I’ve never dared take anything like that much off the sides of fear of sending it brown!
Good job though. How long does it take all together?

[woody paul]

Good old Leyland cypress but It all way recovers well from being cut hard. On my own Four days and 5 loads of chips.

Good job Woody. For me a job like that becomes as much of a psychological challenge as a physical one. I used to do the hedge cutting along the shared access road of an expensive private estate once a year. It took me almost 4 days, I think it was over half a mile long, laurel, rhody and Holly both sides. I eventually gave it up cos I couldn't face the mental challenge of it!

I'm also surprised at the depth of green that you're able to take off the sides of that Leylandii with going into the brown. Seems more than normal from your photos.

Do you put your price up every year to do it, Or did you quote high enough first time round?
