Trimming Made Simple – Hedge Trimmer FAQ

Q: How do I maintain my hedge trimmer?
A: To keep your trimmer in good shape, clean the blades after use, sharpen them regularly, check the power source (battery/fuel), and make sure all moving parts are lubricated and free of debris.
Q: What size hedge trimmer do I need for my garden?
A: For small gardens, a cordless trimmer should do the job, while for larger gardens, you may want a petrol-powered trimmer for extra power.
Q: Can I use a hedge trimmer on my hedges all year round?
A: It’s best to trim hedges during the growing season (late spring to early autumn) for the healthiest results, and avoid heavy trimming in winter or late autumn.

A: Wider teeth spacing allows the trimmer to cut through thicker branches more easily.
