Thanks steve i nailed a 2x2 to my fence at one end and used a telescopic pole on the other and adjusted it up and down til it looked level. Could have used a laser but it worked out

Thanks Alex, the trimmer just gives it a nice clean finish and promotes new growth, over time the hedge gets thicker .

Hey Kevin nice job 👍 I use the same technique but I use biodegradable tree marking spray to spray the hedge with on the line. that way you can take the line out your way and just cut off all the sprayed line to get your level 😊 give it a go next time 👍

My man ran a string line and everything 💯

Nice job... They look like Arborvitaes to me..

I didnt charge myself anything lol. I own the house. It cost me a couple beer

Отличная работа ! Всё чётко !

You need a pole hedge trimmer with articulating head for those, then you could trim all of those with no ladder, standing on the ground.

Never did I think 875,000 people would watch this vid. I thought 50 was a good target and I could give you a chuckle. Thank you for your very generous comments.

Nice job but never make square cedar hedges if you live somewhere that gets a lot of snow. Even if no snow - will be healthier if you reduce height while keeping natural pyramid shape. Burns the shit out of the inside in hot weather

Hi not sure of the type of cedar. I planted them at 5 feet and they were 15 feet when i pruned them. Dont plant them deep and water them often i used miracle grow the first two years as per recommendations then periodically. The hedge is 11 years old n ow so about 1 foot per year growth

awesome video and great job!

Great job Kevin. I have individual Emerald Green Arborvitae in my backyard. I wish I wouldn't have mixed them up with alternative Quaking Aspen (nightmare sucker issues) and Bloodgood Japanese Maples. The hedge looks much more tidy. Mine have grown to about 15 feet and in the last year it's become noticeable they need to be shaped and topped. (separating at the top). I'm thinking of making them into cylinders instead of pyramidal in shape. I believe they have enough bulk to do this, considering I'd be losing a lot of tree at the top which will surely grow back out.

No you can trim cedar any time. Topping will promote filling in the sides and side trim promotes vertical growth. My hedge handles snow load better now too

Great video! How did you suspend the line and ensure it was level?

Instead of planting 200 of these across my yard I will just plant 10 directly in front of my neighbor's windows, their lawn chairs, and their decks. Do you think it would work?

It looks great cut in a straight line, but doesn't it defeat the purpose trying to block the neighbor's windows?

ok now the trimming job videos marathon starts

Just practise with long sweeping motions working one end to the other. Keep the motion parallel to the tree

Wowwww richtig schön wie lange hat es gedauert bis sie die Höhe erreicht hat ?? 👏👏👏👍👍

Thank you for sharing the video! Can you please tell me what variety they are and their approximate height and width prior to trimming? How long did it take to get that size? Thank you!

Nice one mate. What's the idea after you use the hedge trimmer ? Are you just cutting fuzz or cutting off specific bits for better growth . Cheers

Nice job 😎👍.

Great looking privacy hedge

These are awesome! What State are you in and where did you purchase? My guess is that these are either Emerald green (thuja occidentalis 'smaragd). or simply northern white cedar / American arborvitae. We’re in Vermont and I’m doing all sorts of research on these as we’re looking to fill in nearly 200’. Also, how did they respond after you did this?

Hi i planted them at 24 inches they were 5 feet tall and i used miracle grow for first couple of years

Lovely

Product accuracy

Nice job! Did you tie that string to a large stake or just to a branch on the cedar ? Thanks for your feeedback and video!

Can you keep cutting the top and keep them that height forever?

How many ft or mts apart did you plant them? I like the wall

nice job.

Im scratchin my head as to why these needed trimming?

Hi Nice video. Can you tell me whether this is emerald cedar or thuja green? Also, when you planted how far apart did you plant? Did you plant them straight in a row or diagonally.

It took a couple of hours or three beer.

very usefull video. I have my overgrown emerald thuja. they are about 15 ft high. Do you know if i can top em 40-50%? And what time of the year is the best for it? thanx

Also - did you simply plant these in a straight line, spaced 2 feet apart?

very nice

my neighbor hired sum landscaper he destroyed my cedars he used clippers and to add Insult he left all the cliipings and cut branches in my side of the YARD !

I enjoyed the video, thanks. I recently planted a row of cedars like this. I'm wondering if pruning them like this has done them any harm? particularly "topping" them, have they shown any ill effects? thanks again.

Amazing thanks

what spacing was used when these were planted? i just planted mine 6 months ago and just to let other growers of this plant that using 16,16,16, fertilizer lightly on the side of the tree makes these trees nice and green, and work it in the ground, man what a difference, nice and deep green vs yellowish look

Ich mach das per Auge 💪😉👍

My hedge is in vancouver canada so i am not sure how they would handle floridas heat.

How long did this take you to do?

nice job. may I ask what is the name of plant for using like wall?

Concrete tile roof

My grandma want me to cut the to of her hedge but the dang stalks are 1-2" thick and card to reach

How far apart were these trees planted?

عاشت ايدك ياذهب

What did you tie the string to?

No info.

Also how do you get the front so flat?

Where do I buy them? also how long did it take for them to grow that tall ?

I would like to know if these Hedges are good for South Florida , I have Neighbors I would like to Block from my view . I have a 6 foot wood fence but I need 8 feet to be able to block them completely .

Hi, this is occidentalis 'Smaragd'?

Why you filmd that

How close to eachother should one plant them to have it like that?

how much you charge for that job?

what kind of shrubs are these?

Jajajajajajaja con cuerda para hacerlo recto Jajajajajaj en español lo hacemos a ojo y creo que asta queda mejor

What kind of roof is that in the background? Is that metal??

U fast

Very slow jaysus

Why in the world would you cut the Xmas like peaks off of your trees , there so beautiful peaks . And you just cut off your privacy from your neighbors backed. Windows I to your back yard ?

eai sim

I'm cutting mine back to 5 feet from 15 feet. Getting too old for it even with the electric pole hedge trimmer. I'll let it grow to 7 feet and stay on the ground and not go up and down the ladder. Better things to do, party time!

1:08 did the wife come out to nag/supervise?

i want to buy yur youtube channel

way to ruin some trees.

Pobre amadores

Why would you make a video of this??? Who cares seriously
