Good job Fred, certainly reduced it.
A little job I did last week..... NOT
This is Eyrignac Manor in Salignac, France
Can you imagine though, having the privilege to work in a garden like this...

yeah hand shears is a bit much but it leaves a nice result. I reckon there'd be at least 2 to 3 hours work in each set of shrubs.
done this morning

last one shows a camellia hedge "under construction", about 2 years old, slowly thickening & taking shape (the box in front of it is the same age)

Hey Redeye. What trimmer do you use? Those hedges look verry straight and clean cut.
Everything looks good with a haircut.... ɐuıɥɔ ɯoɹɟ pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐl ǝɥʇ sʇɐɥʇ
Hey Redeye, grab the handclippers and just put a little taper on the front edge of the buxus, just makes it look just that little better. I used to try and end up with a sharp edge but found that a slight taper looks so much better.
Great job tho, love the Camellia hedges. wish I had a few more here to do.
David, I've recently got a cordless 18v hedger I use to finish/tidy with....shots were taken b4, it was actually a rush/roughish job as I didn't have a blower with me

Looks the goods the 18v hedger, Makita ? how does the battery last. Friend has one that seems to last for about 1.5hrs with continual use.
Ive had the 18v black n decca hedger pole.
It last for 2 hrs.
But getting a spare baftery is hard to find. Around $60.

yeah a makita, haven't run it longer than about 20 mins, probably get 1.5-2hrs at a guess, def doesn't give the cut quality of the petrol mak though - as said, only gets used to touch up and do small lollypops etc
