Hedges<\/a> have all sorts of benefits. They can offer protection to other plants in your garden, reduce noise, and encourage wildlife. But they\u2019re hardly low-maintenance. Without regular cutting, hedges can quickly become overgrown and unruly, and encroach on other areas of your garden. That\u2019s why a trimmer, cutter or other hedge tool is so important to have at your disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while it\u2019s easy and satisfying to get in there with your favourite garden hand tools<\/a>, most gardeners who have hedges to maintain are likely to benefit from an automated trimmer or cutter, which are either petrol-powered or, more commonly these days, electric.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you constantly find yourself tottering on a ladder<\/a> to clear away hard-to-reach branches and growth, then you should definitely consider a long-reach trimmer. And, if you trimming your hedges into fine forms and topiary<\/a> then you\u2019ll require something that\u2019s light and easy to finely control.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, you\u2019ll find all these options in our list below, where we\u2019ve picked our eight favourite powered hedge tools on the market right now. And for a little extra help, take a look at our articles on how to trim a hedge<\/a> and how to lay a hedge<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
