With a regular hedge trimmer, you can trim different kinds of hedges. For example, the privet or the laurel. Regular hedge trimmers aren't telescopic, so you can't lengthen the handle. Trimming high hedges is less easy this way. You also can't trim small hedges that you trim in a shape, such as the buxus, with a regular hedge trimmer. You need to use a smaller, lighter hedge trimmer for this. Choose a blade length of less than 45cm for low and small hedges. Have a large, wide hedge? You work faster with a longer blade length. Regular hedge trimmers work with a battery or on the power grid. With a battery, you can trim wirelessly and without socket near.
