GIRL I WENT AND BOUGHT ME A EDGER AND I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I AM WORKING ON MY OWN BUSHES! THANK YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!
Im about to pick up one too! Lets go sisters lol😎
OMG, yes you do need your own show. I absolutely loved this video! I'm a female who has decided to maintain my own yard for various reasons; to cut down on cost, get it done when and how I like it done. These landscapers see a single female and dollar signs appear in their eyes. So I went out and purchased a lawn mower, hedge trimmers, string trimmers, a chain saw and of course all the safety and misc materials. Then took to CZcams for these wonderful tips...this video has definitely helped me tremendously. Thanks for sharing.
For those who say it was done wrong, it’s the same way our landscapers do it when they come out and they’re professionals. I say great job!
The cut looks the same afterwards but when you bend over that much when hedge trimming, it takes a toll on your back!
She did great! but not every landscaper is professional TRUST ME…. Most landscapers I see start by cutting at the bottom walking their way around the bush. But everyone not the same…. Good video though.
I am so impressed with the great job you did. I have had gardeners for years and none of them can make the bushes round like you did. I just asked my gardener last week to cut my boxwoods in a round shape. They look like cubes but not even that good. I am now going to cut my own before he comes back again. Your video is fantastic and so are you.
Wow! That was so encouraging, informative and funny! Your video has helped me to see that I can do it. My husband is disabled, and I find myself having to figure out how to get this yard work as well as other maintenance done around the house. Can not afford to hire anyone to do it. This video made me want to go out and purchase a trimmer and get busy. Thank you so much for taking the time out to help and inform the rest of us ladies(men too) . Thanks AGAIN for empowering us! YOU GO GIRL!!!
Thank God for CZcams and women like you. Thank you for sharing! Yes, yard work is like other things a love-hate relationship, the reward and accomplishment you feel when it's done. I just come across this and see it was from 6yrs ago, thanks sis for contributing, much appreciated!😁👍👐
You make me happy. My husband is sick and normally does all the bush trimming and maintenance. You have me faith I can do this. I am going to go for it. Thanks. Your amazing 👏
Than you so much for sharing. You are Hilarious, I don't mean any disrespect. I love doing things myself and learning how to do new things. I truly appreciate the people that post things thathelp others learn on CZcams. I have learned how to change my tail lights on my car as well as my front lights, my windshield wipers and my signals. I know how to start my charcoal grill and many other things. God Bless all of you who take the time to share. Have a Beautiful day. 😊
I couldn't have hoped for a better video. I just bought a house and I'm paying a company to do my yard $125 per month, just because I don't know how to do the shrubs and hedges. Now I can do it myself. You seem like you are a teacher or something...it was very good. And also entertaining! Thanks so much! :-)
Thank you so much for making this video. I've recently just started taking over doing my yard work, my boys, who are now grown and out of the house used to take care of this. By the way, your house looks gorgeous. Awesome job lady!
Omg .. I admire you lady lol.. I mow my own lawn prune my trees.. Care for my garden.. Till the dirt... Lol.. Now I know how to trim bushes.. Lol .. Thank u for posting this video.. You get a high praise from me..

Came across this video as it was suggested because I was watching some other lawn care videos. A tip to help you out in the future: use the cord retainer on your trimmers. Take the end of your extension cord that you plug into the clippers, and fold it back about 6" to form a "U". Insert the "U" into the elongated hole at the base of the handle, and hook the "U" onto the hook at the base of the handle, then plug the clippers into the extension cord. Pull the slack out, and you'll never unplug them accidentally again.
Just bought a house and the shrubs had not been cut in months. I watched your video, decided I could do it, bought a short (17 inch) electric trimmer, and gave it a try. Took my time. Stopped frequently to see if I was making a mess and in the end I was very proud of the results. Thank you for a fantastic tutorial and encouraging video!
Thanks for posting a video about trimming shrubs and hedges. You made it look easy, but more importantly, you made it look possible. Thanks for the added boost I needed to tackle my project on my own!!! :)
You are so good at trimming. I was pricing it first and realized these people make more $$$ than I do! Then I said I am going to search for a video to learn how to do this. Then there you are 😄👍🏼...... Your really good at this!!
you are so real. I really appreciate what you showed me. Hope you are well.
She really did a great job forming them. And she was kinda fun to be with. Just hope she gets some plastic goggles for her eyes. We wanna keep her around to inspire people to take care of their property.
Thank you for your realism and girl power! I'm on my landscaping journey and I'm tired as hell too! 🤣 Take care.
You cut that like a boss!! So proud of you! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Even though this video is almost 6 years old I enjoyed watching! Tired of paying a landscaper to come and just trim a few hedges. Save that money! Thank you for the clear instruction :)
Great video, I learned so much and your yard looks so beautiful. Please continue posting videos of you completing yard work! I just bought a home and was so overwhelmed taking on the yard but you've showed that women can get in the yard too!
Sonya I have watched this video several times - every time I need motivation to get out and do some landscaping. Today I have to trim one bush that has overgrown my mailbox and watched it again! Thank you for motivation and making me know I can do this on my own!!!
“Y’all.... I’m tired as hell” LMAO! Took me out! Thanks so much for this video I’m a single lady and a first time homeowner and I wanna tackle this myself
I see I’m quite a few years late 😅 but this was a great video! I enjoyed your comments, and appreciate all the tips you had to offer. Amazing job!
Beautiful. ...I wish I saw this video yesterday b4 I trimmed my bushes....when they grow out I will be sure to follow your tips. Thank you so much for sharing. As a first time home owner I have found that landscapers don't do what I want. ....so I have started taking care of my lawn myself.....it really is a great workout....lol. Be blessed :)
all thumbs up sista! usually we don't see women doing yard work like trimming videos. so happy to see a woman doing it. i loved the shape. other guys just make box shapes.
sitting here procrastinating doing my lawn but this video made me laugh. thx!
Thank you so much! I love watching your running commentary! And such a great job! I get my hedge trimmer tomorrow so I am learning so much from you! Thank you ! And thank you for showing us "ladies" that we CAN do this!
I want to try this and looked for a video to show me how and this one was the first one that popped up! It is great! You made it look easy, fast, and safe! I got an estimate for someone to trim the hedges/bushes in front and sides of my house and it was more than $1000!!! Thank you for giving me the confidence to try! I have to get a trimmer now from home depot!
Loves your video on trimming shrubs. I've been 'Playing' in my yard for many years so I truly appreciate your tips. And I hope you did take those shrubs out on the side of the house with the gas meter. No point in creating a problem.
Loved your video. Anyone who does yard work of any kind can relate to everything you're experiencing, (from being tired, to the bees, wasps, spiders, ants, etc.) that's what makes this so amusing. Fantastic end result by the way. I'm going to keep an eye out for more of your videos.
She could have her own show . . . she succeeded in doing what she set out to do. If she can do it, then damn it so can I.
Be Humble . . Start at the bottom and work your way to the top.
No wonder my bushes look terrible. I start from the top. Next time I'll do it her way. Thank you.....
This is the BEST video I've seen on how to trim hedges!!! Great job!!! I'm off to the store to buy my hedge trimmers. Thank you!!! You go girl!!!
you're an angel, Sonia! Have you ever made a video on termites and what issues you have with them? we bought a house recently with prior issues and now I don't know what to do to prevent them again..thank you so much for all the information you share with us. God bless you, Sonia!
Watched this today as I'm going to attempt trimming my bushes for the first time. I really enjoyed it. You made me laugh & inspired me all in the same video. Thank you for sharing this ❤
You need to have your own show ! you are real and that is what we need !
I like how you use the example on a two tone shrub. It really shows the shape.
Raking can be tedious, I use a blower then a rake.. Then on to the lawn, seed it over.
Great how to!!
Thanks for your help. About the bees, a yellow jacket stung me. I'm going to trim my bushes today and will do it like you taught me. By the way, you are a beautiful person and have a beautiful home. Wish you the best.

Been paying a landscaper for last 14 years. Going to Sears this fall to get my lawncare supplies
travellady68 ❤. Yessss do it yourself and save your money. If I come across any deals I will let you know. Thanks for watching, be blessed ;-)
Was nervous about offering this service to my business but you eased my fear.
Thank you so much for showing people that bushes are supposed to be round, not flat. One of my neighbors trims his bushes so flat that you could sit dinner plates on them.
A lot of great advise here! Your landscaping is so pretty! You are very inspiring. I feel like I could go out and take on the yard too now! You really slayed those bushes!!
Anyone knocking this young lady's video or what she's doing is a pompous ass! There's many was to skin a cat! She did a nice summer time maintain "hair cut ". These are very hardy and tenacious plants ... trimmer or whatever technique...she got the job done. I'm not she that she knows that after you shear you should go back threw with your felcos and make certain that all your cuts are nice and clean??? I dig her !!! A real ball of energy and enjoying the workout of doing your own yard work!!! A++. ❤️🌺
love your step by step videos ..I'm starting my lawncare biz and your videos are a blessing !thank you !
Great video and tip on not planting hedges too close to foundation because of increased moisture that may get trapped.
Fern Simoes she said that in the video.
Loved this! You made it look soo good! Thank you for this. We have the exact same bushes in front of our new home. I must go invest in a hedge trimmer. Thanx Lady!!! God bless you
+Jean Johnson
Brilliant!! Finally a woman who knows how to do her hedges!! I'm doing mine tomorrow!! Wish me luck 😂
Thank you very much for your video, I'm tired of paying people to provide outdoor services for myself. I'm going to trim my own bushes for now on. Looks good , thank You!
Thank you for this video. I was searching for a way to learn how to trim hedges and most of them were just cut and go. I been disabled since 12/2014. I hope you are blessed and happy. and ignore the Naysayers.
Just seeing this in 2021. I am impressed, and you have inspired me. Thanks for sharing.
My husband just got me one of these and I was nervous to use it and now I'm confident I can. Thanks!
Thank you for teaching how to trim the bushes and save money !!! Great video ❤
Sonya, I so enjoyed this video. It was so informative and you had me laughing with your realness. I loved it! Thank you so much. I will definitely be following you on the tube. Blessings...
Great job! I enjoyed this video very much! Thank you for sharing this information! I just started doing all the yard work! You should have a weekly show! Thank you very much
Great teaching video, I never trimmed brush before, now I know where to start.
Can you please make more DIY videos? Breath of fresh air!
thank you for posting this video, iwas going to hire somebody to trim my bushes but after watching how you did yours I'm going to do mine for the first time myself, have a great day
Thank you. I am a newbie who has just moved into his first house. This was very informative. I do not know why you have any down votes. btw...I hope your surgery went ok.
I'm a new subscriber to your channel. You have a great personality and had me laughing on buying lawn care products video. I love your lawn care videos. Would you do more videos like theses.
LOL @ 15:12, "Isn't that how it is in the real world, okay?" Well played.
You're a great teacher! Thanks. Beautiful yard.
Thank you for your video. Best instructional hedge video I've seen. Bless you.
Thank you so much! This video was very helpful, practical and you kept it real with admitting that you were tired.
I am on my way to Home Depot to get what I I need to trim my bushes. Thank for sharing, I am excited this will be my first time...
Thank you! I know how to use a hedge NOW! I was doing it Wrong! can't wait to use it! the right way! ... my husband always use his riding lawnmower after he cut the clippings.. its use as a mulch and fertilizer
Great video. Im feeling confident now that I can trim my own bushes too. Thanks Sonya!
thank you so much! this is a very informative video. I tried your method and my hedges look perfect ! yep, I was starting from the top to bottom lol which left them with shallow dents so starting from the bottom up is key they look beautiful and full now. great advice I wrapped the cord around my back like you as well. l felt the burn in my arms afterwards, but it was worth it because I got a good workout! thanks again
Wow, you did a Great Job, and made it look so easy!! Your a Pro! Not scared at all your going to wreck anything, just went at it! Love it! Thank You, i enjoyed watching and learning.. Take care!
I sure hope your husband doesn't let you cut his hair but bet he's glad you helping out with the yard. Looks way better than before.
Your materials for trimming is good and handy
Thanks I really didn't know how to trim my bushes. Now I do thanks to you.
Beautifully done. I appreciate the simple explanations and the easy to understand explanations. For anyone doubting their ability......dive right in. What's the worse that can happen???? Too short or lopsided?? Lol it grows back. Saves $$$$. Thank you for the inspiration. God bless 🙂
Wonderful advice which I'll use this week as I'm super late trimming my spirea bush which needs to look as good as it can by July 1 (Canada Day)!
Best video on DIY trimming . Go Girl.
i love your attitude and can do it spirit also thank you for explaining to not plant the plants to close to your home mistake i see too often enjoyed your video
Great job ! Great vid 👍🏼. Very helpful . I just hope I can get it done like you !
Way to go I needed to see this before I went out to do mine. Thanks so much....a new subscriber
Good Day, a very good video Ms Sonya, I use the insights that you share about trimming the Hedges, and it came out very successful. I did have the proper tools to make it happen. Thank you, please have a great day!
1:23 - That was the _CUTEST_ wave to your neighbor driving by!! :)
Very nice and informative video! You look like a samurai warrior slicing with your sword when you are cutting those bushes!
Good job girl... you rock; and at least you've got a helper to clean up!
What a great video. Thank you. Obviously, you enjoyed the work and I enjoyed learning how to do trimming the right way.
That was so satisfying to watch, looks great! Awesome job! =)
Thank you !!! Your yard is beautiful. I will do mine according to your technique.
I know this is an older video but THANK YOU for it! I had a couple of Barberry shrubs I was unsure what to do with but now they are perfect little puffs in the garden! :)
Wish u were my neighbor. Im going to try & round out my bushes. Awesome job. Thank you. Hope they will look as good as yours!
One that smells like Peaches in the summer, probably a Texas Privet. Have one at the corner of my porch, smells heavenly.
The hook near the trigger on the trimmer is there to aid in keeping the power cord from becoming unplugged.
love your tutorials cutting your shrubs excellent job bravo awesome '.. God bless your whole family . ..
Hey Hunni Bunch - great job. Can you come to England and do mine?? Lol. I don't mind cutting the bushes in my front and back garden and this does not tire me because I do enjoy this job (sad, I know), but what I HATE, and what takes the most time, is the cleaning up afterwards!! When I have finished I am absolutely shattered, from the cleaning up process.
Teddy Burr Omg England!!!! I wish I could come today..lol! Thank you for watching Teddy, be blessed ;-)
Thank you, I never knew how to do it right. Your yard looks great.
I'm sad you didn't feature a before and after at the end! Loved the video. Lied and said I know how to do it myself... Now I really can. :)
Very nice video and excellent tips. I enjoyed your insight and you swing a mean hedge trimmer. Thanks!
Great tips. I prefer electric myself for the same reasons. I love your yellow bushes. All the best.
Load the area of the property with the termite issue with cayenne pepper and diatomaceous earth. Paint any and all surfaces. You could also try replanting the shrubs, too. Try a shrub called a burning bush...super pretty in the fall.
I love yard work too. Thank you for this.
THANK YOU! I have those same purple bushes in front of house and they are massive. I don't think the previous owners ever trimmed them. I'm thinking of cutting them down extremely low and go from there. They'll be ugly for a bit but at least I'll be able to maintain them. BTW.. love that you keep it real and just be yourself.. you taught me something important and cracked me up along the way.
Really good video really helps on how to trim shrubs
Love it! Thanks Sonya!...now Im taking on our own bushes! Hopefully they will look as nice as yours!
Awesome vid sonyabeonit !!! Thank You!!! I'm about to go buy a tarp so I can get started. Going to take my BEFORE and AFTER pics too.
