TRIMMING THE VERGE

In addition to mowing the lawn, hedge trimming is a common spring and summer activity. Regardless of whether it is a single bush or a small shrub, it still needs to be cut back. There are a few things to look out for when using an electric hedge trimmer to finish the job quickly and effectively. Step Ladders are also the best choice for trimming in a garden.

When using hedge trimmers, the following guidelines should be followed:

• Before you begin, remove any ground obstacles to make room for your ladder, if you need one.

• Never use a trimmer that is higher than your head.
