Just inherited my dad's property and the sharks are circling telling me they can take care of my lawn and trim this and that! My father took pride in his home, and I plan on doing the same. Just found his trimmer and thanks to you, I'm ready to go to work! This vid is much appreciated!
Appreciate you, Monique. If you need any more tips, I'm sure I may have some videos that can help you out as well. Be Blessed 🙌🏾
Oh my we're in the same boat sorry to hear about your dad God bless

@@PoloFieldsLawnService thank you, it's hard he was my best friend and out of my two sisters, I was the one that lived with him, after my mom passed 15 years ago.
So thank you very much very difficult
@- MrRichBiker We gotta take 1 day at a time, sir. I lost my father in 2018. I think about him a lot because I'm doing what we did when he was well. I know he's proud of me, so it's my duty to give back. I'm glad that I can share the knowledge God has given me, and I hope it helps more people each and every day 🙏🏾
Tip for easy cleanup. Take an old shower or drapery curtain. Lay it on the ground where the clippings will fall and then trim. Move it along till it's full. Fold it up and pot it in your big trash can. Grab the edge and unfold it into the trash can then reuse it.😊
Hello Gwen,Yes, this idea can work also 🙌🏾
Been doing this for 30 years, and you did a lovely job young man! One thing in this business, is that you never stop learning, wish you all the best in your business! 👍
Appreciate you, TGS and Thank you for your years of service 🙏🏾
Great advice.🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾💯💯💯💯
It is beautiful how you rake the extra clippings off. Hand is great as well.💯💯💯💯
I’m a 28 year old woman trying to keep up my yard and I don’t know how to use the tools. I look a mess! But I’m going to try again! determined for my yard to look nice
Keep at it, Markia. I have some videos that you can watch that are for beginners in the lawn. Check them out whenever you get a chance. They should be able to help you 🙏🏾
If you asked me a year ago I would be searching this, I would've laughed in your face. BUT this approach makes so much sense.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I'm not a huge lawn and garden guy (live out in the country), but I must say, your lawn and garden looks impeccable. Respect. Thanks for the good video.
Appreciate you Cindilas 👍🏾
Thanks for this video! The tip to lay the trimmer on the hedge to cut was just the thing I needed - I knew I needed to be careful not to cut too much, but such a simple thing made a big difference.
This is exactly what I was looking for, especially about the tarp. Thank you so much!
@sang_de_rose5361 You're welcome
Thank you for the thorough and precise instructions. You’re clearly a pro-not just with pruning but teaching others. I needed your tips for my giant boxwoods!
You're welcome, Selas, and THANK YOU for your kind words 🙂
Thanks for the knowledge man. Parents called me to trim their bushes for em and armed with this I think I can do a good job
No problem, Joshua. Prayers that you knock it out of the park 🙏🏾
You did an excellent job. The house and shrubs look gorgeous. Thnx for the tips.
You're welcome. I hope this is helpful
So refreshing to hear an accent similar to mine, so easy to understand! Thank you for sharing such a concise and informative video!
🙂 you're welcome. You never know you have an accent until someone tells you 😆
I just started doing this on my new job and this is exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you sir for posting.

They look fantastic! Thank you for this tutorial. I have to trim some scrubs for the first time ever in my life, and I was very worried I would do an awful job, but your video has given me some confidence that I can do it. Thank you!
I'm glad that I could be of help 👍🏾

Great job I'm 74 & just learned something new. Thank you sir.
You're welcome Morgan, glad I could help. God bless you
You did an awesome job. This will be my first time manicuring my bushes. I hope it turns out well. I did pray first.
THANK YOU, and since you prayed first, everything will be OK.
Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to take care of my mom’s house since she passed away & been dreading this project. Hopefully mine turn out as good as yours!
Appreciate you, Ryan. I'm pretty sure your mother would still love to see those shrubs trimmed up, and I'm sure you'll do a great job. Bless you, my brother 🙏🏾
Just had to come back to this video once again to say THANKYOU ❤so much for this ...I learn from this video how to trim my huge boxwoods...I now have curbappeal.and save so much money doing it myself..
Lizzy, I am so happy for you. I'm glad that this video has given you the confidence to trim your boxwoods. Thank you for letting me know how it went. If there is anything else that I could help you with that regards to your lawn, let me know, and I'll try my best to help you as much as I can.
God bless you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much! I have been searching for "real" video to help me with my shrubs. You are an excellent teacher and explain that less is more! I'm eager to start working on our shrubs!
Awesome, thank you for your kind words, and I'm glad this video was able to help you. Have a blessed one 🙏🏾
Great video. It was so knowledgeable and will put it to great use! Thank You
@@kmc669 You're welcome 👍🏾
Thank you for the tips. New home owner wielding a hedger trimmer wildly! Now I have a better idea of how to use it.
You're welcome. I have another video coming out tomorrow that has more tips about trimming as well.
I’ve been trying to figure out for a while how to trim hedges like a pro and the one thing that I was doing wrong is exactly what you covered here: digging in too hard. I’m gonna apply that technique now. You turned those bushes into a display of art. Thank you for the tips and excellent job on the hedge.
Appreciate you bro, hope this information blesses you. Let me know how you did when you get done 👍🏾
Loved the video, I used an electric trimmer once but turned the cut leaves brown. Did I do something wrong?
@michellejack5740 There could be a host of things. Were your blades dull when you cut them? Did you clean the cut shrubs off when you were done? Did you spray anything on them when you were finished cutting? The main thing is it will grow out, but it doesn't matter if you have an electric trimmer. Electric and gas both work the same
I’ve been watching this video over and over, one of my customers put a lot of pressure on me to trim these big hedges in the front yard today.
Long story short, she signed up for bi-weekly lawn service🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's wassup, keep grinding Marc 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Just what I was looking for. Just moved into a home and the previous homeowner had a great yard and land and I hope to maintain it. Thanks for your videos!
No problem. If you need any additional tips, let me know, and I'll try my best to help you out 👍🏾
You're tips are wonderful thank u for teaching me how to get it done properly , I have learned so much from people like u , it helps me to keep getting better at my garden and each time I learn it makes me better at my gardening, thank u for this .😊

Thank you! I feel more confident trimming now! You did an amazing job!

Thanks bro, was a fresh perspective! Needed this refresher!!!
No problem, Brandon 👌🏾
Great job!!!! The shrubs look professionally done and the clean up was better than using a tarp, Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome, Michael 👍🏾
I got a guy down the road that needs me to trim hedges. I’ve never done it before and my dad gave me his echo gas trimmer. I’m excited to do it it looks fun
This could also give you some practice at trimming. Hope this video helps you in every way possible👍🏾
I got my first hedge trimming job Today looked up some quick videos and gotta say yours is the best one brotha !
Appreciate you, bro 💪🏾
Came here for a fast recap been trimming hedges all my life but havent worked in over 5 years due to disability finally back on the work force and wamted to make sure i remember the basics
God bless you Ash, thank you for your service to others, and have a blessed day 🙏🏾
First of all, I love your home. Second of all, I love your accent!! Thank you for the easy demonstration. I was just quoted $300 to have my hedges trimmed. Looks like I'll be heading to Lowe's to buy a head trimmer and do it myself with the help from this video.
Your welcome, I tried to make it as simple as possible so I hope this helps you 👍🏾
Appreciate the video! Did mine for the first time yesterday and it turned out really good. Of course yours looks like a pro did it and mine look like a rookie. 😅
No problem. Get a few more cuts under your belt following the same methods, and I bet it will look 10 times better 👍🏾
Beautiful property! Thank you for this demonstration, this was EXACTLY what I needed to give me the confidence to go this myself! 🤙
AWESOME, I'm glad this video was encouraging to help you trim your shrubs. God is always working, isn't he 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 God bless you, Joy
thank you man. this was very helpful. started my own landscaping company this summer!!!! you were a lot of help
That's awesome man. Glad this helped. Many blessings to your business 🙏🏾
Thanks for the nice, slow panning. I’m going to give it a go!
Take your time, let me know how you did 💪🏾
Excellent demo of trimming. FYI for cleaniing trimmings out of rock borders without a tarp, I use a Worx Tri Vac with bag attachment. You can control the amount of suction so the trimmings are mulched and the rocks are not.
Great idea 👍🏾
Thanks for sharing how to do this work. I especially appreciate the tip for trimming two that are too close to each other.
You're welcome, Ms. Ramos. Have a blessed day
Good job! I need to get a trimmer for my yard. thanks for the lesson.
@cooperbrown1 You're welcome sir
This is the best video i seen as a demonstration shrubs look great by the way
Thank you, sir 👍🏾
Best video I've watched. Just beginning to do my own hedges..
Thank you Helene, hope this video gets your hedges looking awesome
Thanks for the good explanation. I finally found a good demo.
I'm glad that I could help Ajay 👍🏾
Thank-you teacher ! Going outside to trim mine right now .Amazing teaching skills 👍
Thanks, I try my best 👌🏾
Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿. This is a brilliant tutorial ! In the first 30 seconds you identified the mistakes I’ve been doing, this is brilliant, good clean up tips, but I have to use a drop cloth because I have bark gardens not lava rocks.
Thank you Craig, I hope this video helps you in the future. By all means if you have to use a tarp, USE IT. I just was giving people some tips on if you didn't have one what to do. Thanks for tuning in all the way in New Zealand ✌🏾
@@PoloFieldsLawnService my pleasure. We working right down at the bottom of the world 🌍

Thank you for this!!! I've been ao overwhelmed with the shrubs in front of my house... Going to try to do this tomorrow.... 😊
Great, let me know how it goes 👍🏾
@@PoloFieldsLawnService wellll.. the side I did looks okay... But unfortunately my husband didn't watch this tutorial and now one of my hedges looks like it has mange 😂 Thinking I may just try rejuvenation pruning and cut them all the way down and hope they grow back next year. 😫
@jessicarichardson1502 Awww mannn. Well, don't trim it all the way down. Show him this video, feed it throughout the year, and let it grow. Depending on the shrub, you should have more new growth on it by the fall. Trim them again before we get into colder temperatures, so maybe before Halloween. I would only recommend a hard pruning if the shrub is damaged by either cold temperatures, diseases, or insects. Otherwise, let it grow. You might have to put your foot down on this one 😆 You know how us men are. We think we know EVERYTHING. If you did a better job than him, you might have to do the trimming 😆😆😆
Thank you so much bro... I going get to work on my bushes... after work today 💪🏾
No problem, reply back and let me know how it went when you get done 👍🏾
Very well done Sir! It's so refreshing to see professional diversity in the landscape business. Wish you were in NYS.
Thank you Christina, I really Appreciate that 🙏🏾
Thank you for posting this, it's very helpful. I just bought my first trimmer & wanted to get some tips before using it. You do nice trim work; I would hire you! 👍
Thank you. Let me know how it goes 👍🏾
Excellent video! Found out thanks to you several things I was doing wrong and probably made things look bad. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Greg, Hope you got some good tips 👍🏾
The bushes you did look impeccable. I will try out your suggestions.
Thank you. Let me know how it goes when you do your bushes 💪🏾
What a beautiful result, you should get a lot of recommendations from existing clients
Thank you, boysen, and I do 👍🏾
Thanks for the lesson, great job sir.
Appreciate you Sabrina 🙏🏾
Exactly the video I needed for my backyard. Thanks.
No problem, Andy 👌🏾
Thanks! Had no idea how to use! Headed outside. Wish me luck! Signed I Got This…Ii Think!
Let me know how it goes 👍🏾
Nice! Do you find it advantageous to cut the top portion of the hedges at a slight angle more so than the bottom portion to allow the sun to reach all sides, top and bottom of the hedges to allow the hedges to get the same amount of sunlight/growth to the entire plant. I guess the idea behind this method is to allow overhead sun to reach the hedge with uniformity. Kind of like a pyramid… but not as aggressively with the angles. Almost seamlessly. 👍🏾🏆
@@clarkkent4991 This can happen if you are cutting the limbs at the bottom of the shrub into the bush. How they are trimmed in this video, the shrub will be fine.
Bro....excellent video. You explained everything in great detail. Shrubs look tight too!
Thanks, T Gray ✊🏾
Thank you. I searched properly trimming shrubbery. Wish you were in baltimore.
Thank you. Wish you were in Louisville 🙂
Nice tutorial Polo 🔥! Thankfully I don't have any bushes on my property, but nonetheless, this was fun to watch! Your work is off the charts 💪! Wax on wax off with the blower 🤣
You hit it right on the head with that comment Bob 😆😆😆 Wax on Wax off. Thanks bro ✊🏾
Beautiful job! Thanks 🙏🏽. I do my own yard work so I am always looking for tips. This was so clear and simple, now I too can have my yard looking professionally done. Let me know if you have tips for a quick way to trim rose bushes. Thank you again for posting this video.
Sure, I use a hand pruner to cut back rose bushes. When you prune them, wear long sleeves and gloves. Pull off the leaves so that you can see the stems better. Cut the dead stems first. When you cut it, if it's brown on the inside, it's dead. If it's green on the inside, it's alive. Always remember to cut them at an 45° angle......NEVER STRAIGHT ACROSS. Always cut at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the bud and cut stems that are crossing each other. Was a quick answer, but i hope this helps, and thank you so much for watching 🙏🏾
@@PoloFieldsLawnService Thanks so much! New Sub! You got me. I’m happy that I found you.

Beautiful, very helpful techniques.

Great video here. Informative, easy to understand if you're a beginner, like me, and done with integrity. I'd hire you in a second!
Appreciate you, Justin. Thank you 💯
Super Instructive! Working on a garden that has lots of shaping needs, and specific trimming that will require same kind of electric hedger, as well as non-electric trimmers. This is going to be giving me confidence for the bigger shrubs, lower growing conifers, that have much need for re-shaping. Thank You!!
You're welcome, Emack. I wish I could see your work when you're done 👍🏾
Thanks bud. Used your method and my schrubs look great.
That's awesome. Wish I could see some pics 👌🏾
Looks beautiful! Never knew you just lightly lay the trimmer on the shrub.
Thank you Liz 👍🏾
First off your home and landscape is beautiful. I'm a new homeowner and looking for tools to use in the yard. Your video is very helpful indeed I am worried about ruining the shape, but will follow your advice. Thanks again.
Hello Brooklyn, Thanks for your comment. Just do as I instructed in the video and take off as little as possible. Once you start to form a shape ( square or circle), build off of that. God Bless 🙏🏾
Great video! Learned how to do it.
Great, thanks, Lee 👍🏾
Great instructions and work. Looks fantastic

Makes a big difference trimming a bush in general. Now its green all around now, unlike before trimming w a hand clipper.(omg that was the worst)
I totally understand. It's quicker this way, too 👍🏾
