Ha ha. Codswallop, all the best cutters of hedges use one sided hedge cutters.

My tip is to get some one else to do it.

When I side a hedge I like to come from the bottom and come up in an arc. on the downward stroke catch any ive missed and so on. Very hard to do with a single sided hedgecutter.

Once I've trimmed the face I tend to score the height in the face of the hedge if it's having a good amount off the top. Then it's just a case of follow that line across the width of the hedge.

we use long reach articulated for most of our trimming, can go left to right or right to left, have a good balance making it less tiresome especially for taller hedges and offer better control for topiary work..

Very nice work there!

I'm not that artistic- I'll stick to hedges!

Every hedge is diferent, I work the way the hedge and garden allows me.

Whatever way is the easiest, fastest and most efficient way is what I'm aiming for.

Not every hedge gets the same Tlc, some customers want a budget hairdo.

Beech hedges should be done once a year around late September, I was told. I don't take them in hard, I like to fritter over them and they will look there best with a bit of growth for winter..

Don't hammer Box , it just falls apart.
