Shaping
The hedge should be trimmed to achieve a trapezodial form, it should widen
toward the bottom at both sides. This improves the penetration of light to the lower
extremities. A general guideline is approximately 10cm slant for each 1 metre of
hedge height.
Cutting Sequence
First cut both sides, starting at the bottom and working to the top: this prevents
cuttings from falling into the area where you are still to work.
Trimming the Top
Where the braches have grown extremely long, cut back the hedge in several
stages. The shorter cuttings obtained are better suited for composting.
General Information
When older hedges are to be cut back a substantial amount, use pruning shears or
some other device to trim thicker branches (greater than 8mm diameter) to the
desired length before starting work with the hedge trimmer.
To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme edges of the hedge
and then trim along the length of the line.
Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with any object made of hard
material that could damage it, such as fencing wire or metallic plant supports.
Our Environment
We at Ozito care about the environment and consider what we may do to protect
it. If you share this concern you may already be aware of the suggestions below, if
not please consider them as a small step in protecting our future.
Don’t throw your clippings into a rubbish bin where it will be disposed of in
landfill. You can dispose of the clippings on your compost heap, alternating them
with other garden material. Alternatively many communities provide a public
collection point where you can dispose of your garden waste in an environmentally
friendly manner.
