The owner of this house, approached me to radically trim two overgrown Laurel hedges. After asking permission to make a video I started trimming the hedges with a Stihl HSA86 cordless trimmer, after going around the hedge I started trimming from the top but for this I used a Stihl HS82R as the branches were over 2cm thick and a cordless trimmer would not have done the job. This house was close to the railroad and there were trains running every 30 minutes, I was distracted by the loud noise even though I had my headphones on. After I finished pruning I started cleaning up, it was raining a little hard in places but it didn't bother me too much. At first I decided to blow everything out with a small Stihl BG86 blower, but after a while I noticed a lot of wet fallen leaves lying in the bushes and it was hard to do, so I took a big Stihl BR800 and the work became much easier. After packing everything into my trailer I decided to finish the job by mowing the lawn, when I finished the job the owner was very surprised that I had picked up all the leaves and mowed the lawn in addition to trimming the hedges and he expected me to charge extra for this job but I said it was not necessary. He then asked me to take on another home of over 5000m2.
After heavy pruning, the hedge started to look hollow, but in just a couple of weeks it will be covered in new leaves!
