hi guys,

ou new garden has a beech hedge and I wondered whether I could cut it with a
hedge cutter or do I need to prune it by hand using shears? are there any
benefits/disadvantes cutter vs. shears?

I don't want to try the cutter if it will damage the hedge.......


I'll admit straight away that I've never trimmed a beech hedge but imagine
all those many, many yards of them in some houses. I doubt most seriously
that they use shears in all cases
