You know your Friday nights are wild when your watching hedges getting trimmed woooooo!!!!
🤣👍

What she thinks you're doing.
Vs
What you're actually doing.
Actually me right now 😂 I’m having a good time
Great job!! Relaxing to watch, like watching an alpaca being shaved lol. That hedge trimmer is awesome.
Cheers 👍, cant say i've seen an alpaca being shaved 😂
Can you tell me the name of the scientific or local tree? Please, I'll be grateful to you🥹@@RJLgardens
Except for the hole he cut in at 11:43
It's in the title
I can smell the air from over here and it smells absolutely incredible. Beautiful video, this is what youtube was made for. No narration, just raw sound, crystal clear video and a little bit of tasteful timelapse. showing the true raw beauty of nature. Literal youtube perfection
Nice one cheers 👌
Beautiful hedge! I'm amazed the undercut (finished trim) is so thick and dense, no holes or bare spots, like a solid wall of hedge. Alot of care and attention was given to this hedge. I'd like to see the other parts of that garden. Nice vid!!
Thank you! Cheers!
For real! I can only attribute that to RJL!👍🏼
@@RJLgardens What is the name of this hedge plant?
@@shelly-annward5323 Leyland cypress
@@RJLgardens hi,what model of pruner is it?
It’s like a giants beard is being shaved. Very satisfying to watch, thanks!
Satisfying to watch but personally I like my conifer hedges a bit 'fluffy'. People tend to cut them too hard and they end up going brown and never recover. I think they not only look nicer a little more fluffy but it also helps them keep greener.
Thanks.
I had to cut this 1 quite hard as it was creeping out too much, obviously being careful not to cut into old wood. Yes normally just a light prune, all depends on the hedge really and what it needs 👍
If you let it grow too long and eventually it will have to be pruned, yes you will never get it beautiful again! They eventually grow even taller than condominiums if you're not careful.
Nicely trimmed by the way👍
@@mitchellkonneman Thanks 👍, and yes you're right these things need to be pruned, the reason it was so green and fluffy natural looking before cutting was because i pruned it the year before 😂
I've seen advice from gardening experts that using power hedge trimmers leaves a dense crust that restricts light and air from penetrating the outer layer. This results in a sparse interior once you get past the outer 4" or so. I use manual hedge clippers and hand pruners on my Japanese yews to avoid this effect. It is not as easy when you're dealing with such a tall hedge as shown in the video.
@@kcmoguy888 Yes it would take me a couple of weeks to finely hand prune this 😂
Therapeutic to watch - lovely end result 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks 👍
Never seen such a healthy hedge!
That is some SERIOUS bush!
That was so cool! I bet your arms are hurting!😂
as a hairdresser I find this oddly satisfying 😊
🤣 yeh i can imagine.
Amazing to see how much hard work goes to look beautiful...hats off to the person
Great job mate , it’s bloody hard work hedges.
Certainly is, Cheers 👍
I don’t know what’s more impressive the size of that thing or your trimming skills 👍
Probably the hedge 😃👍
Satisfying work. Almost cured my OCD
Wow what an amazing job!
Number one. Some people prefer listening to the rain (white noise) to relax them. Not me I LOVE watching videos like this.
Number two. I know how hard it is to do even small shrubs. This spring I decided to give our four shrubs a little trimming. Well by the time I was finished those poor things looked horrid. It looked as if I came out in the middle of the night. Completely stoned out of my gourd on edibles and trimmed the shrubs with a gosh darn weed eater!!!
Thanks 😂👍
💯👍👍👍👍
Same
There's gotta be a few jealous barbers out there 😂
👌
Now that's a job and a half!! Great!!👍
Thanks
I found watching this very therapeutic, I wish my hedge looked like that, That's experience and care though, thanks for posting. 👍
Oooof! The cleanup! That’s a lot of material coming down.
Always the worse part 👍
You must be the most strongest man cus I trimmed my bush with a little Milwaukee trimmer and it bout killed me the next day. I swear I had never been so sore, and my bush is not that big! It's 5 ft tall an about 50 ft long. I didn't even bother with the neibors side lol. You do such a perfect job!! Thanks for the content!!
Thanks 🤣👍
Like a hot knife going through butter. Great job! ✨✅✨
Cheers 👍
I love the end result. Beautiful hedge you have there.
Really enjoy the explanations you give. Thanks.
That's a big job for one person. WOW!
No not too bad really, i have done a lot bigger 😃
@@RJLgardens My back aches just watching it but it's satisfying to see though!
That’s an enormous hedge. You did a beautiful job.👏👏👍🏻
Иметь такие инструменты, мечта любого профессионального садовника. Мастер виртуоз своего дела😊
Really impressiv. This hedge was shaven so nicely. Really pleasing 👌
Thanks 👍
💯👍👍👍
Wow, this is a massive job. Respect!
That is incredibly gratifying to watch.
👍
Thing moves like he's lightly shaving an Oasis at the flower shop...... that's some smoothe effortless cutting right there.
👌👍
Very nice job. Wow, what a huge hedge!
Cheers 👌

Beautiful job!!
Absolutely beautiful hedge!
Agree❤
This is one of those times where the scoop really makes a difference.
I recently changed jobs to another company and they don't use scoops... I really miss mine!
We used to use long cutters with leaf plate for cutting Yew hedges, easier to collect the leaf which was used for breast cancer drug, The magic yew tree !
You do such an awesome job 🤩
Thankyou 👍
Incredible. Made me cry twice
Only twice? 👍
@@RJLgardens yeah within 10 min😂
Doing a hedge is the equivalent of a shoulder marathon for arborists. Anyone who's done one like this knows what I'm talking about.
Awesome hedge. Wish I had that around my house!
Certainly stop the neighbours looking in 😂
About 20, 30 years ago a whole heap of these got lit on fire by kids. To the extent that people were removing them adding smoke detectors sprinkler systems.. Also they are hollow in a way, had a massive one and had a cubby house through it. (Not my property). Yet we could sit inside and see them....... (I was 12) Another place on the waterfront, big tee trees, owner liked them as "people couldn't see in" I found bongs, places where kids had 'camped to do whatever.' In them. You don't see the army /police etc putting things like this so people can't see in. fwiw
I wish I had a hedge like this myself.
I did the same. Just with an standard Stihl blade. Perfect results 👌 in just minutes time. And so a double blade.
Just wham, bam, thank you ma'am.
Pero como se llama esa máquina, donde la vende?...
Looks great. Those trimmers are serious business.
Thanks
Holy cow that thing is massive. Wow that’s satisfying though. Take that entropy!
That’s what i call a sharp blades 😛😛 Great job super satisfying ✌️👍👍
Thanks 👍
Well done you did a great job I'm a gardener I live in Letchworth Garden City it was the first garden city in the world so there are lots of green spaces I also work for the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation in the Landscape department I love cutting hedges, privet hedges and yew hedge, thanks for your video I'm going to subscribe to your channel. 👍
Thanks mate appreciated. Glad you are enjoying the work, it can be very satisfying. All the best 👍
I'm a gardener too, my back is broken
My God, "The Green Wall" was so long! very tiring, I believe. The result was satisfactory. Congratulations🤗😊
First time seeing someone use a TMC trimmer! Looks great !
No tmc in this vid im afraid, only stihls and a cobra long reach with the kawasaki engine. 👍
Hi 👋🏼😃 just came across your channel and I liked it already.
It is very relaxing watching a professional do great work and the hedge look awesome. I'm subscribing because I enjoy what you do. Thanks for sharing with us who enjoy your channel. Have a great weekend🌞🎉👍🏼
Thanks and welcome. 👍
Очень красиво получилось)
Steve is looking nice after that fresh trim
👌
Great technique, tools and job!!!
Thankyou 👍
This isn't a hedge,; it's a wall! Why does anyone want something that tall? They must really hate their neighbors!
Great job!!!!!
Yes they hate their nosey neighbors. I want one! Hahaha
Wym? It's beautiful!!!
Mate our company does 8-10 meter tall conifer hedges like this 😅they are good wind breaks
That hedge trimmer is legit! Great Video! I got to get me one of those!
Yeh its a beast 👍
@@RJLgardenswhere can I find a trimmer like this??
Dude this hedge has perfect location to cut.. pefect for the ladder
RJL Gardens that’s a lot of hedge trimming bushes and it’s very thick keep up the hard work good job 👍
Thanks 👍
STIHL equipment is good product I like STIHL equipment
I actually liked the wispy look of the hedge. Cutting it reveals so much unhealthy parts that haven’t seen the sun 😢
So do I, No its not unhealthy dont worry 😀
Agree
Now they can see it😅
Kawał dobrej roboty pan wykonał.👍👍👍🇵🇱❤️ gratuluję. Super, brawoooo 👏
Thanks
@@RJLgardens hi talk português 🇧🇷 lol vidio may frends 👌🌲🌲🚜
I loved it before but such skill on the trimming part!
Thanks and so did i
Bro when I first started watching I thought you were a kid lol just from the angle ! Great content bro !
Well done! Bravo, very nice job 👍👌👏🇨🇵
Thanks Sylvia
Czy tylko ja się relaksuję oglądając to?🤔🤔 to jest bardzo satysfakcjonujące 😌😌
👌
Wow 😲😲 so beautiful trimming ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍
This is so satisfying! It’s like hot knife through butter 😌
Awesome job and fun to watch. That was a big hedge. You used all the tools on this one.👍👍
Thanks mate 👍
That's a little hedge, some are 100s of yards long and 50ft high. We used to do them with a cherry picker
My EX used to look just like this bush!
That tarp is a life hack that (as a beginner home owner) was a huge boon for speeding up clean up for a quality result at the end.
Pretty. a great conversion
That is a large hedge! Nice work 👍🏼How long is it? and how long did it take you to complete the job?
You should consider owning a barbershop.
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍
No because then he would have to deal with idiots and their bullshit
😂😂😂

Edward scissor hands
Awesome work as always.
Cheers 👍
Excellent work, looks very nice
Thank you! Cheers!
Incredible hedge. Nice work. How far apart were the trees planted and how often is the hedge re-trimmed?
Que trabalho legal! Dá uma sensação gostosa de ver o "cabelo" da planta sendo aparado. haha 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
👍
Good job my friend! 👍👍
Good job. So satisfying
Thanks 👍
I'd rather use the long articulating trimmers and just use the ladder for the top but either way it looks great, that's all that matters.
Thanks, i often just use my long reach, but with the size of this hedge it is quicker using the 40" single sided stihl 👍
Это чудесно👏👏👏
Cheers
Super satisfying 💫
Cheers
That's some hard ass work, respect

Nice job! How tall was this hedge before you started?
How amazing excellent work 👍🏻.
Very relaxing. Makes it soo easy .😁
Thanks 👍
Ive got a small garden maintenance company, that hedge trimmer is phenomenal!! What type is it?
Also great work! Really really ridy
Была живая красота. А стала стенка зелёного цвета. На мой взгляд, удручающая картина.
Yes but to get it looking all green fluffy and natural you have to prune it 😀, otherwise it would get overgrown and ugly.
@@RJLgardens С точки зрения садовника, да, согласна. Но что поделаешь, люблю только дикую природу. Красивее, совершеннее, чем Творец никто не создать не в состоянии. Таково моё субъективное мнение.
It's like when a hedge grows a beard and it's being shaved. This is satisfying!
👌
Wow huge job. Good job!!
Thanks 👍
Awesome Work... Apart from the aesthetic benefits, does pruning affect the plant health in a significant way?
Thanks, proper pruning is very beneficial for plants as it encourages new growth and can either thicken up or thin things out if that is desired. 👍
@@RJLgardens Thank you for helping me understand :)
It's harmful to the nesting birds in it.
That's why it's illegal to do it on that scale during the nesting season.
@@derekfaeberwick illegal ? It s pretty normal you consider the birds but not trimming is pretty weird
@@derekfaeberwick Where at?
Good work.
Which model trimmer is it you're using ? and does the catcher plate come with it, or is it an optional extra ?
👍, Stihl hs87t and have to buy catcher separate
Nice job friend..very hardworking and clean too..
Cheers 👍
Beautiful. Well-done 👏
Thank you! 😊
@@RJLgardens ive been in some form of landscaping , horticulture etc my whole life......never seen anyone or thing do such a great job
@@cherokeedaybreak Thank you. It's nothing special though. 👍
@@RJLgardens no no thats the thing. It is very special. You are the GOAT of trimming
Apart from the hedge looking great it's very sensible to put a large sheet to catch the fallen debris. My lopper just let's it fall on the ground and then has a massive clearing job. If course he doesn't listen to me. 🙄
Yeh gravel is a pain to clear up on 👍
We had a customer that wanted for some reason to cut there own hedge. So ok the following day they phoned up to ask if we'd come around to clean up and take the waste away. To be fair it wasn't a bad attempt. But this guy is really good 👍
@@jonathanbell7752 Thanks mate, yeh the clearing up is usually the worst part, they got a good deal 😀👍
Put your own tarps down but they probably won't discount it
How far apart should I plant these in order to have this tight of a wall? This is beautiful!
They’re a pain when this tall, I wouldn’t recommend it.
That bush is nicely trimmed, the way i like it
This guy has the right tools and he is very skilled
Thankyou 👍
I absolutely love these hedges. I'm in the southern US and we never trim Leyland Cypress this way. Formal gardens aren't popular here either as most people are too frugal to afford the upkeep. I do want to ask what's up with the hard hat? I've never in 14 years of professional gardening used one.
I needed ear and eye protection, plus i was working on a road (back of hedge) at height on a ladder so a helmet was the best option. 👍
Health & Safety legislation.
As you said southern US, and this is most likely in the UK. I can imagine our health and safety laws are much more strict. If working for a company doesn’t matter how confident you are you’ll be forced to wear your safety equipment.
It’s why a lot of our tradesmen prefer private work than big sites because it tends to be a lot more relaxed.
What do you have on your trimmer that, I guess, prevents the blade from having the clippings?
Its called a catcher plate, its primary job is for the tops of hedges, it collects the clippings as you cut so you dont have to rake/clear off afterwards. Mostly suited to the finer hedges that are trimmed regularly and kept on top of. 👍
Nice one. Looking sharp again.
Thank you, Cheers 👍
Awesome work! That hedge trimmer tool is very cool
Thanks 👍
