Hedge Trimmers

If you have bushes or hedges in your garden, keeping them neat and trimmed can be very time consuming unless you have an electric hedge trimmer. Hedge trimmers save you time and effort by cutting multiple leaves and small twigs in seconds, leaving you with more time to tend the rest of your garden. They allow for better cutting precision and styling than hedge cutters or clippers, meaning that you can not only maintain your hedges but invigorate them with your artistic styling. Hedge trimmers are available in corded, cordless, and gas-powered models to suit your needs and your budget.

The biggest advantages that head trimmers have over other garden cutting tools, such as hedge cutters and chainsaws, are that they are easier to maneuver and can produce a much neater finishing cut to your hedges and shrubs. For overgrown and larger branched hedges, you will need to use a cutter or chainsaw, as these are heavier duty tools. However, most professional gardeners will always do the clean up with a hedge trimmer because of its unmatched precision.

Hedge trimmers should be treated with caution and respect as any other powered gardening tool. There are a few different styles of hedge trimmer blades, but they all work similarly. The blades move back and forth quickly to act like dozens of pairs of small shears, allowing you to increase your productivity tenfold. You should never hold your hedge trimmer by the blade, even when it’s powered off or unplugged, as it’s easy to catch a finger or hand in the mechanisms.

Hedge trimmers can be used for trimming any small twig or thin stemmed hedge or shrub, and even tall grass. Don’t try to mow your lawn with one, though, as the excessive leaning down can damage your back and puts you in a precarious position when using the hedge cutter.

As long as you exercise caution, a hedge trimmer will make your garden maintenance a breeze and provide a finished result that you can be proud of.
