Cutting established hedges<\/strong><\/p>\n

A properly maintained hedge should have a relatively light amount of growth to be trimmed in fall. This is easily done with a pair of well-sharpened powered hedge clippers. Powered hedging shears are very effective when used to cut large hedges bordering property lines.<\/p>\n

\"driveway-hedge-trimmed\"<\/a>The first part of a hedge to cut is the top<\/strong> and make it level. While you are up on the ladder, a \u00a0light rake can be used to sweep off any clippings that remain on top of the hedge. They may be green now but can become unsightly when they dry up and turn brown. If you are able to follow the straight line of the previous cuts that were made, then you should be able to simply take off any short new growth that extends beyond the previous hedge trimming service.<\/p>\n

Next to be trimmed are the sides of the hedge.<\/p>\n
