How to Trim Your Hedges like a Professional
Maintaining clean, defined hedge lines helps improve overall garden appearance and hedge health. Before starting, check that the cutting blades are clean and sharp. Begin trimming from the bottom, working your way up with steady, horizontal strokes. For taller hedges, consider using a long-reach model to maintain balance and avoid overextension. For shaping, trim little and often to encourage even growth without removing too much foliage at once. When finished, inspect the surface for uniformity and remove debris to reduce plant stress.

How to Keep Your New Hedge Trimmer Clean
Keeping your hedge trimmer clean after each use helps maintain cutting performance and tool longevity. Debris and sap often build up between the cutting blades. To remove any sap or plant debris from the blades use a brush, then apply a lubricant to prevent build-up. Run the trimmer briefly to spread the oil evenly before wiping off any excess.
For battery models, take the battery out and you can clean it with a dry cloth. For electric models, check the cord and plug for any damage before storage. Always disconnect power before cleaning to stay safe. Get a full breakdown here: Cleaning your Hedge Trimmers.
How to Maintain and Store Your Hedge Trimmer
Well-maintained hedge trimmers operate more smoothly and safely. To maintain performance, routinely check that the blades are sharp and screws are secure to avoid strain on the motor. Petrol models need added care such as cleaning and replacing the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, and emptying the fuel tank before storing. For battery tools, store the battery separately in a cool, dry place with partial charge. When not in use, keep the trimmer covered and dry to prevent rust or damage from occurring. Routine maintenance will keep your hedge trimmer performing at its best. For detailed step-by-step maintenance advice, read the full guide here: Maintaining your Hedge Trimmers.
