Cutting hedges can be a daunting task. Straight edges, knowing how hard to cut them back, using ladders, and access to the right equipment discourage people from hacking at the hedges in their own garden with a pair of hand shears.
Different plants have different hedging requirements and tolerances. Leave it to the experts and you will find that what looks like an overgrown nightmare may be able to be tackled quicker than you think.
A simple way to improve a hedge, in many cases, is to remove the bottom branches to expose the trunk. This allows plants to be placed between the trunks.
Not all hedges need to have razor-sharp edges. Many plants with larger leaves benefit a more natural and relaxed look which can be achieved by pruning them
Tall hedges are, naturally, more difficult and costly to maintain. Sometimes the best thing to do is bring the height down to a more manageable size.
