Thanks for all the great comments 👍 what's the hardest hedge job you've ever done? This wasn't too bad in the end. Cheers for watching
Watching this video😂🎉
@@jimmyspartacus6 brilliant 🤣👍
Good work. Sorry to hear about Margaret . I had a customer pass last year, he always gave me tomatoes 🍅 and he grew plants for me from seeds. Its too sad thinking back , i have to not think about it. Its such a Privelege to have know some great people . Good video anyway 👍
Cheers as usual mate and yes it's great to know some people. Always been a family neighbour so known her forever. Thanks 👍
Those kind of jobs are always a challenge but quite rewarding once finished. Great job mate👏🏼
Thanks mate, yea nice when they're done and always easier the next time then. Have a great week 👍👍
Hi Nathan That's one of those rather you than me up there Jobs😀😀 like the battery holder Nice one Thanks again
It wasn't too bad but wouldn't want 2 a day😅 so glad I used the battery for some of it, worked great to... throw pole saw into next area then move steps👌 cheers
Excellent work again Nathan. Reminded me of my first hedge cut, old lady's bungalow up above her son's farm. Back of the hedge had about 2 ft to stand on then a 20 ft drop. When I finished she let me know 3 other gardeners had turned it down.. 😏
Sometimes these jobs catch you out😬 access is everything to get them done easily. Thanks and cheers for watching 👍👍
That's was a nice challenge, I used to enjoy these kind of jobs, get the old heart pumping and brain working, if I couldn't get on top, I'd of probably gone for option 3, slap a second extension on, 😅, r.i.p Margaret, good old, old school, hard work, but nice one mate 👍
Option 3 and I'd have probably joined dear Margaret 😬 1 extension is enough my my old bones😅 Margaret was a good one and will be missed. Cheers Jason 👍
Lovely job on that hedge Nathan, dog shit boils my piss. I had to mow an embankment by the Thames last year and it was covered in it 🤢I keep a few litres of pine disinfectant on board now. Sorry about Margaret that generation was a different class 👍
It can totally spoil a job for sure🤢 thanks for watching and yes generations past are a different breed👍👍
Fair play, I recon there was 18 months/2 years growth on it because people weren't exactly queuing up to trim it 😂
Nice job. Dog crap on ladders is the worst. Had one last year where I trod it onto every step then put my hand in it as well before realising. Nasty stuff.
I think the sides were done last year but not the tops, customer said it was done but not by a gardener🤔 tops tend to get away from you give the a year or so. Cheers for watching 👍 oh the dog crap🤢
It’s a blooming thick hedge, dense, tricky buggers. I’d have been parking on that grass verge! Call myself a gardener 😅 cowboy!
They can get wide🙄 van would have sunk to the axles on there😅 cheers for watching 👍
R.I.P Martha 🙏🙏🙏. Great job on those conifers, got rid of mine.
Margaret was a good one. Sometimes the conifers have to go😬 cheers for watching 👍
I’m knackered just watching this. Tight work for an aul boy!
😅 I was a bit tired in the afternoon I admit. Cheers for watching 👍
Lovely thought you dedicate this to a dear friend ❤️ thoughts are with you...
Thanks, she had her moments but generally a good one. Known her since I was a nipper, funny how time goes by. Cheers 👍
Great job you had your work cut out on the hedge turn out nicely 👍
Thanks 👍 turned out ok, hopefully a regular cut there will get it nice and neat. Cheers
Great work pal.
Cheers 👍👍
Nice job, hard work with such a tall wide hedge, still you make it look easy although I am sure you felt it.
Definitely felt it but learning to pace myself helps😅 cheers and thanks for watching 👍
I would a went surfing there Nathan to get the last bit done hate those types of conifers nasty work they are I always say I'm not gonna do anymore but always give in cause if its priced right its well worth it good tidy finish for the length on it lad 👍
Can't beat a hedge surf😅 same here...no more then I price more up🙄 cheers mate, hope all's good with you 👍
All good Nathan can't complain 👍 ps that Pellenc looks great bit a kit 👌
@jonnysgardenmaintenance good to hear👌 pellenc is earning 👍👍
Hi Nathan, enjoyed your video. I know exactly what you are going through. Sometimes I think why did i take this on. Garry Solihull
Thanks, glad you enjoyed 👍 they definitely get like that sometimes 🙄 cheers 👍
I normally and thought that it's common practice just bang ladders in jump up n down on the side that needs be in ground ? And that's still after a good few falls in the field so to speak And dog shit on ladders if that's not happend to ya as a gardener then not earned stars n strips in my book 👍
Yea that's my normal but this slope was steeper than it looked on camera so the old jump up and down method didn't work so well😅 baptism of dog crap 👌 cheers
Mammoth job well done!
Cheers 👍👍 have done worse but this was tricky enough for a couple of reasons. Sorted now tho for another 6 years 😅
Great job Nathan
Those conifers are always a nightmare. I always say in my head tell them you’re too busy to do it!!😅
The new battery kit looks good👍
These weren't too bad, some around here are huge. Battery gear doing great 👌 cheers mark👍👍
Great idea hanging the battery pack what size ladders would u recommend been looking at a set like that
Cheers 👍 didn't fancy having that on my back there. They are the 10' ones which I use nearly every day, they adjust up a couple of feet too. Depends on the size hedges you work on I guess. Definitely invest tho👌 thanks for watching
Solid shift Nathan. 💪
You answered the ladder query I had above i.e. what size were those. I've add my eye on a pair of 10ft with three adjustable legs.
Do you think this would cover 95% of the jobs as opposed to an easier to handle 8ft one and a 12ft one further down the line... ? Keep up the good work.
10' are so versatile and extend up to about 12'. Definitely go for it👌
Nice one nath looks like proper graft 😅… what hedge trimmer do you use? All my husky kit keeps breaking down ffs 🤦🏼♂️
And yes, always sad when you lose a customer / neighbour… they end up friends as such … RIP Margaret 🙏🏼
She's always been a family neighbour, yea sad but she had a good innings 👍 thanks
Was a good one 😅 my battery are the Stihl 66 and 86, also running the echo and Stihl petrol gear, moving over to echo tho mostly. Haven't had a husky petrol hedge trimmer for years but didn't last too long unfortunately. Bloody kit🙄🤣 cheers for watching 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtdI’ve got the husky 520iHE3 ( had 4 now lol ) so light but not up to it, so use 325i LK also battery… loads better but not as light weight. Might look at something else soon, but prefer battery … hmmm
@Pantsneale definitely battery for trimming mate, I'd rather replace a machine more regularly than use petrol kit all the time😬
Hate doing leylandii hedges. But I suppose it helps pay the bills. Dog muck sucks.
They're not the best although a regular trim I don't mind. Dog crap everywhere 🤢 cheers for watching 👍
what echo model that mate please? is it telescopic or fix another piece on end ? Ta 👍🏼
It's the combi with an extension on it👍 cheers
Been there today cutting conifers,people don't understand, they grow upwards and wide.
If people keep,them under control,they would look a better.
They keep bloody growing 🤣🙄 a yearly trim would do here and make it easier. Cheers 👍
Got another one tomorrow,last year l had to put a top handled chainsaw into one.
Mulched it,put on his garden,
Looks good.
With the spring bulbs,starting coming up.
@@jonathanglanville5265 good luck with it👍
That's a big hedge! I hate conifers🫣 good content as always mate 👍
Cheers mate, coni bashing is a good description for this job😅 thanks for watching 👍
Hi hard on the body when got all the poles on the saw
It sure is when on full extension and using across the hedge, gotta be done sometimes tho. Cheers for watching 👍
I’ve a 14ft Hendon and the feet are adjustable, but the width is probably the problem?
Nice one👍 they do get wide, I've 16 footers and would have been a pain on the inside of that hedge but would have given me the reach. Cheers for watching 👍
Thats a deep old hedge. Not always worth it. I fell off ladder last year about 8/10 feet up. Survived but twisted knee and wrist. Nothing broken. Soldered on. 😢
Hope you got over that fall🤞 thankfully I've only ever a few minor incidents with steps and ladders. Your right tho, sometimes they're not worth it. Cheers for watching 👍
Hate them tripod ladders me, can’t get close to hedge with them and when you are it’s higher then cutting height of hedge! Looks to me like be best getting on top of hedge itself! L
I just turn them sideways to the hedge if the height doesn't match. Love mine. Cheers 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd true but I think there still awkward sticking above hedge! Used to have them with old arborist I used to work for and they did my head in ha! Them 3 run ones which go as a step are best for me as you can lean them in to desired height and then have it as a step and because they straight your bang at side of hedge so don’t have to reach across as much. Have good day anyway and yep good videos!
@benhowlett7693 I get what you're saying, I carry in the van a pop up step and those multi position steps that open out into ladders and often grab one of those if more appropriate for a hedge. Options 👌. Thanks again mate👍
twat of a job.good to hear you've cut down on the kit kats 🤣
I'm down to 9 million a day now🤣🤣 love the coni bashing 🙄
And that was more than adequate with the pole saw never mind the hedge trimmer a do think it's all got to anal or after a few decades of gardening have my standards slipped or do a not give much as a fuck as a used do ?
Hedge trimmer was needed to get the bits the the pole saw missed. The small bits etc, had to be good enough to get paid at least
If only there was a way to attach some propellers to your van, you could fly up to the top of the hedge 🤔 haha but seriously i dont like heights so i try to stay ground level where possible 😂
RIP Margaret also 🤎
Margaret was a tough one, but a good one. A drone with a rotating light saber would be handy for these jobs 😅 hope you're keeping well mate 👍
