Hints on Trimming Hedges

If a hedge has to be cut back very substantially, trim the
hedge in two passes.
First cut the hedge to the desired height and stretch a string
along the hedge at the desired height. Guide the blades of the
hedge trimmer at an angle of 10 – 15° to the hedge in order to
get a straight cut.
Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape cutting from the bottom
to the top.
Round the top edges of the hedge.
Finally trim the bottom edges back. Appropriately dispose off cut materials.
