New video of how this hedge looks a year later: ruclips.net/video/ruhTde66LnA/видео.html Massive thanks to everyone that takes the time to watch and hit the thumbs up or leave a positive comment. 👍
I can smell the air from over here and it smells absolutely incredible. Beautiful video, this is what youtube was made for. No narration, just raw sound, crystal clear video and a little bit of tasteful timelapse. showing the true raw beauty of nature. Literal youtube perfection
While I agree with the sentiment of this being very satisfying, RUclips was created to look at Janet Jackson’s breast after the super bowl. One might say it’s always been about titillation.
Beautiful hedge! I'm amazed the undercut (finished trim) is so thick and dense, no holes or bare spots, like a solid wall of hedge. Alot of care and attention was given to this hedge. I'd like to see the other parts of that garden. Nice vid!!
Satisfying to watch but personally I like my conifer hedges a bit 'fluffy'. People tend to cut them too hard and they end up going brown and never recover. I think they not only look nicer a little more fluffy but it also helps them keep greener. Thanks.
I had to cut this 1 quite hard as it was creeping out too much, obviously being careful not to cut into old wood. Yes normally just a light prune, all depends on the hedge really and what it needs 👍
If you let it grow too long and eventually it will have to be pruned, yes you will never get it beautiful again! They eventually grow even taller than condominiums if you're not careful. Nicely trimmed by the way👍
@@mitchellkonneman Thanks 👍, and yes you're right these things need to be pruned, the reason it was so green and fluffy natural looking before cutting was because i pruned it the year before 😂
I've seen advice from gardening experts that using power hedge trimmers leaves a dense crust that restricts light and air from penetrating the outer layer. This results in a sparse interior once you get past the outer 4" or so. I use manual hedge clippers and hand pruners on my Japanese yews to avoid this effect. It is not as easy when you're dealing with such a tall hedge as shown in the video.
Wow what an amazing job! Number one. Some people prefer listening to the rain (white noise) to relax them. Not me I LOVE watching videos like this. Number two. I know how hard it is to do even small shrubs. This spring I decided to give our four shrubs a little trimming. Well by the time I was finished those poor things looked horrid. It looked as if I came out in the middle of the night. Completely stoned out of my gourd on edibles and trimmed the shrubs with a gosh darn weed eater!!!
You must be the most strongest man cus I trimmed my bush with a little Milwaukee trimmer and it bout killed me the next day. I swear I had never been so sore, and my bush is not that big! It's 5 ft tall an about 50 ft long. I didn't even bother with the neibors side lol. You do such a perfect job!! Thanks for the content!!
Well done you did a great job I'm a gardener I live in Letchworth Garden City it was the first garden city in the world so there are lots of green spaces I also work for the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation in the Landscape department I love cutting hedges, privet hedges and yew hedge, thanks for your video I'm going to subscribe to your channel. 👍
This is one of those times where the scoop really makes a difference. I recently changed jobs to another company and they don't use scoops... I really miss mine!
We used to use long cutters with leaf plate for cutting Yew hedges, easier to collect the leaf which was used for breast cancer drug, The magic yew tree !

Hello RJL... What an amazing work of Art ! I have enjoyed watching you do your arty-transformation.

About 20, 30 years ago a whole heap of these got lit on fire by kids. To the extent that people were removing them adding smoke detectors sprinkler systems.. Also they are hollow in a way, had a massive one and had a cubby house through it. (Not my property). Yet we could sit inside and see them....... (I was 12) Another place on the waterfront, big tee trees, owner liked them as "people couldn't see in" I found bongs, places where kids had 'camped to do whatever.' In them. You don't see the army /police etc putting things like this so people can't see in. fwiw
Its called a catcher plate, its primary job is for the tops of hedges, it collects the clippings as you cut so you dont have to rake/clear off afterwards. Mostly suited to the finer hedges that are trimmed regularly and kept on top of. 👍
I absolutely love these hedges. I'm in the southern US and we never trim Leyland Cypress this way. Formal gardens aren't popular here either as most people are too frugal to afford the upkeep. I do want to ask what's up with the hard hat? I've never in 14 years of professional gardening used one.
As you said southern US, and this is most likely in the UK. I can imagine our health and safety laws are much more strict. If working for a company doesn’t matter how confident you are you’ll be forced to wear your safety equipment. It’s why a lot of our tradesmen prefer private work than big sites because it tends to be a lot more relaxed.
Nice finish. Just wonder if the constant stopping of the throttle has a bad effect on the machine. I run mine at full chat and sweep as long as I can rather than these intermittent strokes.
Cheers. Na its fine, its using half throttle that can cause issues. I was doing half sweeps to make sure i was cutting the right amount off but i do normally do large full sweeps 👍
Apart from the hedge looking great it's very sensible to put a large sheet to catch the fallen debris. My lopper just let's it fall on the ground and then has a massive clearing job. If course he doesn't listen to me. 🙄
We had a customer that wanted for some reason to cut there own hedge. So ok the following day they phoned up to ask if we'd come around to clean up and take the waste away. To be fair it wasn't a bad attempt. But this guy is really good 👍
I am trying to start my own landscaping business and wanted to add Hedge Trimming as a service..Question: how do you charge? hourly? per bush? 🤦🏽♂️ lol Anyone can help?
Thanks. They're youngmans fibreglass platform step ladders that i bought many years ago. I dont think they make anything like this anymore unfortunately. 👍

Great job mate , it’s bloody hard work hedges.
Certainly is, Cheers 👍
My God, "The Green Wall" was so long! very tiring, I believe. The result was satisfactory. Congratulations🤗😊
as a hairdresser I find this oddly satisfying 😊

This isn't a hedge,; it's a wall! Why does anyone want something that tall? They must really hate their neighbors!
Great job!!!!!
Yes they hate their nosey neighbors. I want one! Hahaha
Wym? It's beautiful!!!

First time seeing someone use a TMC trimmer! Looks great !
No tmc in this vid im afraid, only stihls and a cobra long reach with the kawasaki engine. 👍
I actually liked the wispy look of the hedge. Cutting it reveals so much unhealthy parts that haven’t seen the sun 😢
So do I, No its not unhealthy dont worry 😀
Agree
Now they can see it😅
That tarp is a life hack that (as a beginner home owner) was a huge boon for speeding up clean up for a quality result at the end.
Awesome hedge. Wish I had that around my house!
Certainly stop the neighbours looking in 😂

Awesome job and fun to watch. That was a big hedge. You used all the tools on this one.👍👍
Thanks mate 👍
That's a little hedge, some are 100s of yards long and 50ft high. We used to do them with a cherry picker
I loved it before but such skill on the trimming part!
Thanks and so did i

Nice job friend..very hardworking and clean too..

Wow, My best friend, Wonderful video dear. I enjoyed watching. Hope to see you soon...
Nice job! How tall was this hedge before you started?
Although I personally the hedges as it was before. This was hard work and q beautiful job well done in the after pics.
Thanks
That is a large hedge! Nice work 👍🏼How long is it? and how long did it take you to complete the job?
Very relaxing. Makes it soo easy .😁
Thanks 👍
Очень красиво получилось)
Pretty. a great conversion
How far apart should I plant these in order to have this tight of a wall? This is beautiful!
They’re a pain when this tall, I wouldn’t recommend it.
That bush is nicely trimmed, the way i like it
What do you have on your trimmer that, I guess, prevents the blade from having the clippings?
Its called a catcher plate, its primary job is for the tops of hedges, it collects the clippings as you cut so you dont have to rake/clear off afterwards. Mostly suited to the finer hedges that are trimmed regularly and kept on top of. 👍
That's some hard ass work, respect

Ive got a small garden maintenance company, that hedge trimmer is phenomenal!! What type is it?
Also great work! Really really ridy
Nice one. Looking sharp again.
Thank you, Cheers 👍
Incredible hedge. Nice work. How far apart were the trees planted and how often is the hedge re-trimmed?
Very satisfying to watch

I needed ear and eye protection, plus i was working on a road (back of hedge) at height on a ladder so a helmet was the best option. 👍
