Cutting Back Overgrown Hedges/Uncovering Windows

Using the Husqvarna Hedge Trimmer to cut back some overgrown shrubs and uncover the windows.

Bro, thank you. Literally the only video on the Internet that shows how to deal with the clippings.

Hedging jobs pay well for a professional because quite often the cleanup is half the work. There’s a lot to it. Imagine cleaning up after trimming a 100m hedge. That’s a big job. Using a hedge trimmer is fun and you do have to pinch yourself at times that you’re getting paid to use it. For the cleanup everyone has their preferred method. I usually keep a wheel barrow beneath the hedge & when I’m finished cutting I rake everything up in conjunction with a leaf blower as well and put all the clippings into the wheel barrow load after load and empty it into my trailer. The drop sheet method is a good one too. People use what works for them.

Good change. Those were well overgrown. Nice use of tarps.

Nice. We like to shake whatever we are going to trim first to make sure whatever comes out to try to sting us does so on our terms - not theirs.

Still needs to come down to the sill of the window. But, much better than it was for sure. Wish I had that trimmer.

[rogermurph]

Holy crap! There’s a house back there!

[pennyarizzio]

What kind of shrub was that? I need to cut mind right in half. Will it be okay to do this? Do you have a "way after" picture of the shrubs when they came back from the cut?

[alveradavis]

[Toyrunner]

What kind of hedge trimmer is that your using works great

[brianfitzpatrick]

What kind of bush is that and how long before it looks good again? Thanks for the video

As an experienced landscaper the only thing I see here is that maybe the customer wanted the bushes below the windows it was overgrown so this bush had to be hacked I’m not a fan of hacking bushes like this but it’s the only thing that comes to mind as to why it was cut so low

[daniellepyle]

Brutal, but much needed. Thanks for sharing.

[Black_Samurai-fish]

Thanks very much! I’m renting a house and the bushes are horrid! I’m cutting them this spring! >:)

[woof]

would like to have seen them a couple months later to see how they looked

[revivalservicebydesign]

wow... big but I noticed lots of "dead" in those hedges when you were done with the cut. I'd think you have to cut more into the dead to find life in the stems so it grows out? Just wondering.... Let me know. Thank you!

[pennymoroney]

What time of yesr did you do this? What a great tool!!

[scottellwoodgardening]

Nice job will sharp thicken back up that. I too use tarps for rubbish. Can’t understand people who don’t.
