Trimming HEDGES On This Scenic Countryside Property

[@CleanUpFreeTeam]

The fence is beautiful and so is the house. You are doing something to beautify the view.

[@RJLgardens]

Its a peaceful place to work 👌

First time seeing this hedge row trimmer/razor/shaver 😂 1:23, and I am impressed. That's what you would call, a close shave. 😅 First time watching your channel.

[@RJLgardens]

cheers and thanks for watching 👍

[@nyqer6636]

What a fantastic finish and what a view

[@RJLgardens]

Thanks, yes its a great spot, albeit hilly 😅

[@AWgardens]

Spot on Rob. Great to see the efficiency and accuracy of your work. Can't wait to get back out there next week. All the best Andy

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers mate 👍

[@Katzztar]

That's a truly scenic view! Wonderful job on helping with making the site scenic itself.

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers, its a great bit of countryside 👍

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

top job as per 👍 all the years I've been in the game & i didn't think of mulching the cuttings until i watched LHL 😮

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers pal, yeh its a great way to reduce the waste away, where possible. Good old Lee, he loves it 😅. I only did that little section at the end, as could get away with it there. 👍

[@anthonyhargis6855]

Rob, you've really got an "eye," my friend. I doubt I could get something looking that level, plumb and straight without running some string lines to help. LOL Another outstanding job, as well as an educational, entertaning and relaxing video. I suppose, at my age, it's just relaxing watching a master craftsman at work.

[@RJLgardens]

Many thanks, these hedges were all kinds of wonky, not sure i would call them straight 😅

You did a great job. The garden in beautiful ❤

[@RJLgardens]

Thank you! 👍

[@Garden-Time]

That was some wild growth in certain spots, i like that u use the stringtrimmer as well to tidy up.

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers, got to do those finishing touches 👌

[@iainkilpatrick106]

Very professional job. I use a lawnmower to bag the cuttings. Reduces the bulk

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers, yes i occasionally do that to 👍

[@TheHoofTK]

I really like your work. 😘😘😘

Nice one cheers

Came across your videos while watching KZbin an had to subscribe. Great work!

[@RJLgardens]

Thanks and welcome 😊

[@dejavu666wampas9]

I don’t know for sure, but I think this guy has done this a couple times before. 😉👏👏👏

[@RJLgardens]

I've trimmed a couple of hedges before 😅

[@russelldownesdownes5618]

Are these your go tools now do use for everything surprised you haven’t got the battery makita strimmer must say they do a really good job 👍

[@RJLgardens]

Yeh pretty much for all the light trimming jobs, did look at the makita strimmer but heard battery life was poor? Which one have you got? I do want a battery strimmer though. 👍

[@russelldownesdownes5618]

@@RJLgardens 36v but way too heavy

[@watjejanssen7535]

great job

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers 👍

[@EarlyAccessMMA]

I would love to know if you prefer that Makita single sided trimmer or the stihl one you have?

[@phil9171]

What model hedge trimmers are you using, mainly the set without the articulating head. I have those, but I've never seen the others here in the states.

[@RJLgardens]

Makita duh754 single sider, its great. Dont see many of you guys running those type of trimmers. 👍

[@smedina146]

Love that hedge trimmer! Is it heavy? This may be an odd question, but what brand of work pants do you use?. They are perfect for yard work! Awesome video!!! What a beautiful spot to work at for the day. You are a true Hedge Whisperer! Blessings from Washington State 💛🖤💛 Stacy M

[@RJLgardens]

Thanks Stacy, Yes lovely place to work, i just wish it wasnt so slopey 😅 These trimmers are nice and light and minimal noise, which is great. These are just a cheap pair of work trousers, not sure on make. i have loads of diff brands i use. All the best 😊

[@thegardeneruk]

Tidy work mate. I do miss my single sided short arm. Whats the makita like rob? is the battery life good? and whats it like in general? Hope your well mate

[@RJLgardens]

Thanks bud. I really like it mate, dont think ive used my hs86 since i bought it. Battery is good, couple hrs maybe, its so lightweight and quick, you fly through the hedges. 👍

[@thegardeneruk]

@@RJLgardens after I messaged you, I brought one! 😂🤣 literally got home today, and it there. I’m gonna take of that silly leg protector, and put it to work. I saw enough on 2 of your videos to make the decision

[@RJLgardens]

@@thegardeneruk 🤣Nice one mate, enjoy using it, defo take that guard off, cuts like shit with it on.

[@thegardeneruk]

@@RJLgardens Whats the battery like mate? ive got 2x 6ah and 1x 5ah.

[@bicksgardenservices]

Nice work how do you find the makita battery life

[@RJLgardens]

Yeh pretty good mate, seem to get a few hours out of them depending on what your trimming.

[@tinamaria514]

What hedge trimmer are you using in the first part of the video?

[@dejavu666wampas9]

Are there shire or county regulations that require this type of upkeep, or is it purely owner esthetic preference? From watching Clarkson’s Farm, I know that there are minute rules and regulations for a LOT of things in the UK.

[@RJLgardens]

No not any regs around here, just what the client prefers. 👍

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

dear sir i just found out that some red brick powder is stick to magnet but i dont know what kind of metal that powder is made of is it an iron or other material please let me know if you know about it ????

[@TOBECLEANLTD]

weell done how long did it take you

[@RJLgardens]

Around 5hrs i think, that was with the big bottom bit of grass as well 👍

[@bytespc]

shouldn't be doing the hedges in nesting season, you can hear the distress and alarm calls of the disturbed pairs in the video.

[@paulf2529]

If there are birds nesting then they will be deep in the hedge, any birds will go straight back to sitting/feeding once the cutting is done. If he was drastically reducing the height or width or removing the hedge then it would be different.

[@joshsharpn]

Bills don't care about mad birds.

[@paulf2529]

Another point is the bird alarm calls could be completely unrelated, a magpie or sparrow hawk flying over or a cat passing through the garden could just as likely set them off. I had a blackbird making alarm calls this evening whilst I was hoeing my vegetable beds, no idea what set it off but it was the farr end of my garden, so it was not due to my activity.

[@RJLgardens]

@bytespc Firstly there were NO nesting birds in the hedges i trimmed. The bird making noise was across the road in the neighbours hedge somewhere, you can see me looking over in that direction. I respect wildlife and don't disturb active nests during nesting season. Checks are always made prior to any work commencing. Unfortunately i don't have the luxury of waiting till September for every single hedge i cut. They wouldn't be formal hedges if that was the case.

[@RJLgardens]

@@paulf2529 Spot on mate, these light trims are generally fine, we still have to do checks prior to work though 👍
