The traditional way of cutting hedges and still the preferred method for many gardeners, particularly those shaping their shrubs or practicing topiary. Hedge shears are now available in many different styles, including telescopic hedge shears, yet their primary function remains the same, to provide a clean and precise cut with every stroke, ensuring that your hedges not only look good but also have less chance of becoming infected with disease. Don’t forget that grass and border shears can also be used to tidy up unruly edges on your lawn after mowing. Adding a clean line to your flowerbeds with a border shear is aesthetically pleasing whilst hand-held grass shears are invaluable for tidying in-between flowerpots and ornaments.
