Excellent video. Covers the essentials clearly while demonstrating the technique. Just what I was looking for prior to cleaning hedges. 5 star production
Just inherited my dad's property and the sharks are circling telling me they can take care of my lawn and trim this and that! My father took pride in his home, and I plan on doing the same. Just found his trimmer and thanks to you, I'm ready to go to work! This vid is much appreciated!
@@PoloFieldsLawnService thank you, it's hard he was my best friend and out of my two sisters, I was the one that lived with him, after my mom passed 15 years ago. So thank you very much very difficult
@- MrRichBiker We gotta take 1 day at a time, sir. I lost my father in 2018. I think about him a lot because I'm doing what we did when he was well. I know he's proud of me, so it's my duty to give back. I'm glad that I can share the knowledge God has given me, and I hope it helps more people each and every day 🙏🏾
Been doing this for 30 years, and you did a lovely job young man! One thing in this business, is that you never stop learning, wish you all the best in your business! 👍
Tip for easy cleanup. Take an old shower or drapery curtain. Lay it on the ground where the clippings will fall and then trim. Move it along till it's full. Fold it up and pot it in your big trash can. Grab the edge and unfold it into the trash can then reuse it.😊
I’m a 28 year old woman trying to keep up my yard and I don’t know how to use the tools. I look a mess! But I’m going to try again! determined for my yard to look nice
Keep at it, Markia. I have some videos that you can watch that are for beginners in the lawn. Check them out whenever you get a chance. They should be able to help you 🙏🏾
They look fantastic! Thank you for this tutorial. I have to trim some scrubs for the first time ever in my life, and I was very worried I would do an awful job, but your video has given me some confidence that I can do it. Thank you!
I'm not a huge lawn and garden guy (live out in the country), but I must say, your lawn and garden looks impeccable. Respect. Thanks for the good video.
Thank you for the thorough and precise instructions. You’re clearly a pro-not just with pruning but teaching others. I needed your tips for my giant boxwoods!
I’ve been trying to figure out for a while how to trim hedges like a pro and the one thing that I was doing wrong is exactly what you covered here: digging in too hard. I’m gonna apply that technique now. You turned those bushes into a display of art. Thank you for the tips and excellent job on the hedge.
@michellejack5740 There could be a host of things. Were your blades dull when you cut them? Did you clean the cut shrubs off when you were done? Did you spray anything on them when you were finished cutting? The main thing is it will grow out, but it doesn't matter if you have an electric trimmer. Electric and gas both work the same
Thank you so much! I have been searching for "real" video to help me with my shrubs. You are an excellent teacher and explain that less is more! I'm eager to start working on our shrubs!
Thanks for this video! The tip to lay the trimmer on the hedge to cut was just the thing I needed - I knew I needed to be careful not to cut too much, but such a simple thing made a big difference.
Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to take care of my mom’s house since she passed away & been dreading this project. Hopefully mine turn out as good as yours!
Appreciate you, Ryan. I'm pretty sure your mother would still love to see those shrubs trimmed up, and I'm sure you'll do a great job. Bless you, my brother 🙏🏾
First of all, I love your home. Second of all, I love your accent!! Thank you for the easy demonstration. I was just quoted $300 to have my hedges trimmed. Looks like I'll be heading to Lowe's to buy a head trimmer and do it myself with the help from this video.
Outstanding job on those bushes and video. I had just cut my boxes and had used the same method except I use a tarp. I had a guy put down mulch last year and he gave me the worst red pine junk he likely got for free. It is coming out next spring and I am going back to dirt. Thanks
Just what I was looking for. Just moved into a home and the previous homeowner had a great yard and land and I hope to maintain it. Thanks for your videos!
Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿. This is a brilliant tutorial ! In the first 30 seconds you identified the mistakes I’ve been doing, this is brilliant, good clean up tips, but I have to use a drop cloth because I have bark gardens not lava rocks.
Thank you Craig, I hope this video helps you in the future. By all means if you have to use a tarp, USE IT. I just was giving people some tips on if you didn't have one what to do. Thanks for tuning in all the way in New Zealand ✌🏾
Beautiful job! Thanks 🙏🏽. I do my own yard work so I am always looking for tips. This was so clear and simple, now I too can have my yard looking professionally done. Let me know if you have tips for a quick way to trim rose bushes. Thank you again for posting this video.
Sure, I use a hand pruner to cut back rose bushes. When you prune them, wear long sleeves and gloves. Pull off the leaves so that you can see the stems better. Cut the dead stems first. When you cut it, if it's brown on the inside, it's dead. If it's green on the inside, it's alive. Always remember to cut them at an 45° angle......NEVER STRAIGHT ACROSS. Always cut at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the bud and cut stems that are crossing each other. Was a quick answer, but i hope this helps, and thank you so much for watching 🙏🏾
You're tips are wonderful thank u for teaching me how to get it done properly , I have learned so much from people like u , it helps me to keep getting better at my garden and each time I learn it makes me better at my gardening, thank u for this .😊
Excellent demo of trimming. FYI for cleaniing trimmings out of rock borders without a tarp, I use a Worx Tri Vac with bag attachment. You can control the amount of suction so the trimmings are mulched and the rocks are not.
I’ve been watching this video over and over, one of my customers put a lot of pressure on me to trim these big hedges in the front yard today. Long story short, she signed up for bi-weekly lawn service🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice tutorial Polo 🔥! Thankfully I don't have any bushes on my property, but nonetheless, this was fun to watch! Your work is off the charts 💪! Wax on wax off with the blower 🤣
I got a guy down the road that needs me to trim hedges. I’ve never done it before and my dad gave me his echo gas trimmer. I’m excited to do it it looks fun
Just had to come back to this video once again to say THANKYOU ❤so much for this ...I learn from this video how to trim my huge boxwoods...I now have curbappeal.and save so much money doing it myself..
Lizzy, I am so happy for you. I'm glad that this video has given you the confidence to trim your boxwoods. Thank you for letting me know how it went. If there is anything else that I could help you with that regards to your lawn, let me know, and I'll try my best to help you as much as I can. God bless you 🙏🏾
Boxwoods are some of my favorite shrubs, love how you didnt make the bottom go inwards, many make that mistake then end up with a bare bottom shrub What happened to the lil shrub with the dead in the middle?
Hello Jessica, You can use a blower on mulch as well. To make it easier so that mulch doesn't blow all over the place, use your water hose and spray your mulch with water to make the mulch heavy. After you've done that, the same technique I used to get the clippings out of the rocks is the same technique you would use to blow your clippings out of the mulch. Hope this helps 🙏🏾
Super Instructive! Working on a garden that has lots of shaping needs, and specific trimming that will require same kind of electric hedger, as well as non-electric trimmers. This is going to be giving me confidence for the bigger shrubs, lower growing conifers, that have much need for re-shaping. Thank You!!
Nice! Do you find it advantageous to cut the top portion of the hedges at a slight angle more so than the bottom portion to allow the sun to reach all sides, top and bottom of the hedges to allow the hedges to get the same amount of sunlight/growth to the entire plant. I guess the idea behind this method is to allow overhead sun to reach the hedge with uniformity. Kind of like a pyramid… but not as aggressively with the angles. Almost seamlessly. 👍🏾🏆
@@clarkkent4991 This can happen if you are cutting the limbs at the bottom of the shrub into the bush. How they are trimmed in this video, the shrub will be fine.
Came here for a fast recap been trimming hedges all my life but havent worked in over 5 years due to disability finally back on the work force and wamted to make sure i remember the basics
Thank you. This is an American Boxwood. The best place to find them is gonna be at your local nursery. Home Depot and Lowes has them, but to me, nurseries have better quality. They grow fast if you keep them fertilized. These in this video we're about 4 feet tall and 3 ft wide. Thank you, and your channel is amazing, by the way 👌🏾
Thanks so much for your quick reply! I’m in Texas. I’m looking for some bushes that can reach atleast 6-7 feet in height to cover my tall foundation. Looking for bushes that can hold up in extreme heat but can also live through very low temps since we get that occasionally and so many of my neighbors bushes die from just 1 day in 10 degree weather 😩. Did some quick research and these look like they’ll work. It looks like there’s some darker bushes that are the same height in your video. Is that the same type of bush?
@Frequentfinder These bushes will do the trick for you. Since you're in Texas, they MAY have a different variety because of your climate, but generally, boxwoods will do well in heat. They can also get up to 7 feet tall if you let them grow that high. The majority of the shrubs in this video were boxwoods besides the small tree near the door and the big round bush that I trimmed that's tucked in the corner. They will also do well in the winter months, so don't worry, y'all don't get anywhere close as cold as we do 😄
@@PoloFieldsLawnService wellll.. the side I did looks okay... But unfortunately my husband didn't watch this tutorial and now one of my hedges looks like it has mange 😂 Thinking I may just try rejuvenation pruning and cut them all the way down and hope they grow back next year. 😫
@jessicarichardson1502 Awww mannn. Well, don't trim it all the way down. Show him this video, feed it throughout the year, and let it grow. Depending on the shrub, you should have more new growth on it by the fall. Trim them again before we get into colder temperatures, so maybe before Halloween. I would only recommend a hard pruning if the shrub is damaged by either cold temperatures, diseases, or insects. Otherwise, let it grow. You might have to put your foot down on this one 😆 You know how us men are. We think we know EVERYTHING. If you did a better job than him, you might have to do the trimming 😆😆😆
Thank you for posting this, it's very helpful. I just bought my first trimmer & wanted to get some tips before using it. You do nice trim work; I would hire you! 👍
@skinnyman-rv1xi The easiest way is to use a tarp or some type of old sheet that can catch the clippings. Other ways would be to move the mulch from around the shrub, trim the shrub, and then move the mulch back around the shrub. I did a short video about this... th-cam.com/users/shortsXizgYuOAFk0?si=X8P3xqsCGi0_3lBH
First off your home and landscape is beautiful. I'm a new homeowner and looking for tools to use in the yard. Your video is very helpful indeed I am worried about ruining the shape, but will follow your advice. Thanks again.
Hello Brooklyn, Thanks for your comment. Just do as I instructed in the video and take off as little as possible. Once you start to form a shape ( square or circle), build off of that. God Bless 🙏🏾
Terrific video. Really like the big one in the center, which you made more into a sphere. Not fond of the squared-off ones, but still better than what my landscaper did to mine...looked like a buzz-cut, you know how they cut servicemen's hair. Just laying on top and working your way in is VERY helpful; I wouldn't have thought of that. Obviously, you've done this for a while. Great video.
Thank you, Christopher. I'm glad that you enjoyed the content. Maybe you can give it a try on your bushes and tell your landscaper to hold off on the next one 🤷🏾♂️
I'm going to buy a hedge trimmer, now that I watched your video. The HVAC guy whined last time that he couldn't place his ladder to get to the roof because everything grew so large. I called the landscaper and she said January 30th, which is 2.5 months, but I need the HVAC guy out here this month for the winter checkup. My gosh...I'll do it myself. I just bought a Ryobi Whisper-Quiet blower, so I may as well go and get a hedge trimmer and do it myself. The trimmer will cost less than the landscaper would've charged anyway. No point in being helpless. Thanks again...great video! @@PoloFieldsLawnService

Looking for bushes that can hold up in extreme heat but can also live through very low temps since we get that occasionally and so many of my neighbors bushes die from just 1 day in 10 degree weather 😩. Did some quick research and these look like they’ll work.
It looks like there’s some darker bushes that are the same height in your video. Is that the same type of bush?
@Frequentfinder These bushes will do the trick for you. Since you're in Texas, they MAY have a different variety because of your climate, but generally, boxwoods will do well in heat. They can also get up to 7 feet tall if you let them grow that high. The majority of the shrubs in this video were boxwoods besides the small tree near the door and the big round bush that I trimmed that's tucked in the corner. They will also do well in the winter months, so don't worry, y'all don't get anywhere close as cold as we do 😄
@@PoloFieldsLawnService thanks for the info!! Just subscribed!
Appreciate you, I'm doing the same because I need some tips for my afro 😄😄😄
Great instructions and work. Looks fantastic

Thanks for your help. I've switched from a hand clipper and bought a small electric.
Awesome, Hope this works out for you Vali 👍🏾

I'M IMPRESSED.
Appreciate you, ShogunHull 🙏🏾
Thank you for this!!! I've been ao overwhelmed with the shrubs in front of my house... Going to try to do this tomorrow.... 😊
Great, let me know how it goes 👍🏾
@@PoloFieldsLawnService wellll.. the side I did looks okay... But unfortunately my husband didn't watch this tutorial and now one of my hedges looks like it has mange 😂 Thinking I may just try rejuvenation pruning and cut them all the way down and hope they grow back next year. 😫
@jessicarichardson1502 Awww mannn. Well, don't trim it all the way down. Show him this video, feed it throughout the year, and let it grow. Depending on the shrub, you should have more new growth on it by the fall. Trim them again before we get into colder temperatures, so maybe before Halloween. I would only recommend a hard pruning if the shrub is damaged by either cold temperatures, diseases, or insects. Otherwise, let it grow. You might have to put your foot down on this one 😆 You know how us men are. We think we know EVERYTHING. If you did a better job than him, you might have to do the trimming 😆😆😆
Thank you so much! Im going to do mine tomarrow. Im going to follow all your steps. My fingers are crossed🤞
You're gonna do great 👍🏾
Thanks bud. Used your method and my schrubs look great.
That's awesome. Wish I could see some pics 👌🏾
True professional. Gotta appreciate someone with skills 👍🏽👍🏽
Nice work there
I try my best 👌🏾
That's a work of art!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! 🥰
Thank you 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Good info. Practice makes perfect. The tarp would add a ton of extra work. Thanks
My feet always find a way to trip on the tarp and knock the clippings everywhere 🤦🏾♂️😆 That's why I do it this way lol
Thank you for posting this, it's very helpful. I just bought my first trimmer & wanted to get some tips before using it. You do nice trim work; I would hire you! 👍
Thank you. Let me know how it goes 👍🏾
Great video. Super satisfying watching those shrubs come into shape!
Thanks Matt. They definitely get attention from people passing by. Some people stop and just look at them 🤣🤣🤣
Is them hedge trimmer pretty light , you did a nice job .
Yes sir, this particular one only weighs 12.6 lbs

Lookin' good. What's your suggestion on cutting in a bed of mulch.
@skinnyman-rv1xi The easiest way is to use a tarp or some type of old sheet that can catch the clippings. Other ways would be to move the mulch from around the shrub, trim the shrub, and then move the mulch back around the shrub. I did a short video about this...

@@skinnyman-rv1xi No problem
First off your home and landscape is beautiful. I'm a new homeowner and looking for tools to use in the yard. Your video is very helpful indeed I am worried about ruining the shape, but will follow your advice. Thanks again.
Hello Brooklyn, Thanks for your comment. Just do as I instructed in the video and take off as little as possible. Once you start to form a shape ( square or circle), build off of that. God Bless 🙏🏾
Thank you. I searched properly trimming shrubbery. Wish you were in baltimore.
Thank you. Wish you were in Louisville 🙂
Great information, much appreciated. Oh, great job on the shrubs.
Thank you, Mark 👍🏾
Exactly the video I needed for my backyard. Thanks.
No problem, Andy 👌🏾
Great video here. Informative, easy to understand if you're a beginner, like me, and done with integrity. I'd hire you in a second!
Appreciate you, Justin. Thank you 💯
Terrific video. Really like the big one in the center, which you made more into a sphere. Not fond of the squared-off ones, but still better than what my landscaper did to mine...looked like a buzz-cut, you know how they cut servicemen's hair. Just laying on top and working your way in is VERY helpful; I wouldn't have thought of that. Obviously, you've done this for a while. Great video.
Thank you, Christopher. I'm glad that you enjoyed the content. Maybe you can give it a try on your bushes and tell your landscaper to hold off on the next one 🤷🏾♂️
I'm going to buy a hedge trimmer, now that I watched your video. The HVAC guy whined last time that he couldn't place his ladder to get to the roof because everything grew so large. I called the landscaper and she said January 30th, which is 2.5 months, but I need the HVAC guy out here this month for the winter checkup. My gosh...I'll do it myself. I just bought a Ryobi Whisper-Quiet blower, so I may as well go and get a hedge trimmer and do it myself. The trimmer will cost less than the landscaper would've charged anyway. No point in being helpless. Thanks again...great video! @@PoloFieldsLawnService
@@christopheryochum3602 Yep, it will save you some money in the long run. If you do proceed in getting a hedge trimmer, let me know how it goes 👍🏾
Awesome

Good work 💯💯
One problem i see is when you have mulch and you have to blow out the clippings from the mulch
@@devohnmitchell I have a short video on how to tackle that 👍🏾
