I was asked to trim a laurel hedge. I turned up, got my hedge trimmer out and she told me she wanted it doing with secateurs. I said it would take about three days and three days money . She said the hedge trimmer was fine.

I always pay old sheets at the bottom of hedges when I'm trimming, it's easier to clean up after. Good job though.

I've used the titan attachment for hedge cutting on my stihl and it's a far cry from the power of the stihl hedge attachment. either way it looks a good job but I'm certain you would be quicker with a stihl. it's at least 6 inch longer blade wise and the gear ratio in the unit is more powerful.

bidders77 thanks mate. yes think stihl would be a tad quicker but a bit heavier, which would have got to my arms quicker and slowed me down abit, so it's swings and rounder abouts, as my arms are a bit knackered I try to keep the weight down as much as possible, I'm getting old lol. thanks mate 👍👍

@@jasongardener3425 With you there!! I use a 'Robin' strimmer over my Stihl that now sits in the shed. Not as powerful for sure and they destroy themselves after a year.....but get they get the job done and a quarter of the weight....I can use one for hours freehand without any support and they cost around £45 second hand....so that's about 7 Robins to 1 Stihl!!

Nicely done,I dislike cutting laurels as the leaf is so big you end up cutting some in half and the remainder can sometimes brown and die off causing an unsightly effect that customers moan about.

Recently bought a house surrounded by this hedge. I'm looking to buy the correct tool for cutting it. I dont think a hedge trimmer will cut mine as it seems to be all thick branches in the middle. Perhaps I need a small chainsaw instead
@BigT.Grizzly

Unfortunately I've got the same issue, a pruning saw came in handy, dig deep, get the main branches and seems to do the trick, I've found a chainsaw can get caught up in the smaller parts but definitely works on the big branches.

Ive just planted 100 4 to 5ft pot grown cherry laurels spaced 500 ml apart, similar to this in regards to planted along the perimeter of my property. Planted in march 2020 so at time of writing 3 months in. They have grown by about 8 inches and they are filling in the gaps now. What im asking i suppose how long will they take to duplicate this established hedge. As its the laurels first season im watering daily but started to wish i spent more and got bigger rootballs type although i spent £2500 already. Im afraid it will take maybe 5 yrs to get a dense hedge like this!!
