Like I said, this was a little extreme, and cordless hedge trimmers are not really designed for this. We had to get the loppers, pruning saw and Stihl petrol hedge trimmer out for these. I mention this because I had some old hedges around the nursery that hadn’t been touched in years.

I have used it on Leylandii, Hawthorn, Laurels, Photinia, and Holly. It’s well-balanced and has a decent blade length of 55cm with a fairly decent tooth gap of 19mm. I find it to be very comfortable to use, even for longer periods. Do you need a long-reach model?Ĭutting the top of a hedge with the DeWalt 18v hedge trimmer
