This Shrub Is So Big They Can't Use The Garage | ECHO 58V Hedge Trimmer ABUSED

- These shrubs and hedges are preventing access from the garage and front walk path, as well as completely blocking two front windows! Can a battery powered hedge trimmer cut them up, or will I be left explaining to the homeowner why I couldn't finish the job?! And just how long does a battery powered hedge trimmer last? Link to the ECHO trimmer I used: amzn.to/2DIMaP3 Will the Variegated Chinese Privet get the best of me?!

Cutting starts at 2:25!
Really
Martha A Did you see the two or three times I mentioned they wouldn't look good? XD
Copper Creek Cuts - can you trim them shorter? Like half its size ?
Martha A
How would it look good when the shrubs are so overgrown and they require being trimmed so drastically due to the homeowners neglect
Those shrubs say "Burglers Welcome"!
I say, rip those puppies out. Plant something that will stay small.the builder of my house put in something rediculous like that, as soon as I saw one that was 20 ft high I knew it needed to go. Ain't nobody got time for that!
Haha, too true! I think the builder just ran by Lowes' clearance before hand! ;)
KidCity Lynnwood Agree with everything you said. I hope the homeowner has done that by now. Would love to see an update. Also, planting something new is like a facelift. Your house looks newer.
You can never go wrong with "boxwoods"... they stay typically under 3-4ft and get nice and plush..easy to maintain and shape...!!!
I agree with you. These bushes will continue to be a never ending pain in the neck.
@@ceedaddy The problem with that is that they still need trimming, and they smell like cat piss. The people who built my house planted these things all over the place, and they stink so bad I am contemplating ripping them out. Plus, they are damn huge, and I, as a 5'5 woman, I need help trimming them. They are still better than the monstrosities in this video, but they are not without their flaws as well.
This is my barber working on me once the shelter in place is lifted.
Haha, if I actually had any hair I would probably be in the same scenario. Unfortunately I've been balding for the last decade so just shave it every week! :-)
Preach
They sell Clippers at wally world
@@CopperCreekCuts been shaving it for 20 years .....cool for summer ...
steelswarfs you mean this covid crap 🤔
Imagine having those beautiful arched windows and covering them with those hideous bushes.
That’s what I was thinking. And, being able to let much more light in.
I would take those bushes out completely
@@SxyGrl44 probably best, or prune them down low at the very least, they will look terrible for a while, but they should never be more than 3 feet high, tops.
@@SxyGrl44 a rope round the trunk and tie it to the truck its gone
That pathway and driveway could do with some serious pressure washing.
For sure!
That's the next video. 😃
They can't trim their bush what makes you think they're going to take care of a landing strip.
Good one haha
I do pressure washing and noticed the same thing 😣😬😝
I’m pretty sure I can hear the entire neighborhood clapping as you were chopping
LOL, too funny! Thanks for commenting and watching, I appreciate it! :)
I would be if I was a neighbor; I’d prolly have thanked him!
🤣🤣🤣

That shit makes a house look like a mf's is on crack...😁😁😁
Can't believe they didn't want them totally removed. I can't stand anything blocking my windows. Considering what they looked like before, you did an excellent job with what they allowed you to do.
I appreciate the kind words! I agree that complete removal would have looked best in the long run.
Because of money I say he charged about $300 but removing will cost 5times more. Anyways that's Toronto price
It's a beautiful house and the shrubs are such an eye sore. I would've removed all of them and planted smaller shrubs that don't block the view out the window and not plant anything next to the garage.
Would've been best to cut them to stumps. It's hard to kill bushes, even if you try, and the stumps would quickly grow, almost as if new ones were planted.
This would be a happy medium between expensive complete removal, and the just enough to not do the job/just enough to piss off the neighbors, which this video shows.
Also, leaving them tall and out of proportion with the house leaves the house with that "abandoned" look, which it began with.
We had yuccas at a rental we lived in, in Melbourne, Australia. We let them grow, when they reached the roof, we lopped the tops and planted them. By the time we left, it was a wall of yucca over the front window. When the yuccas were small and sparse when we first moved in, the front room would reach in excess of 50 degrees C in summer. It was bloody hot!! Leaving them there may be a shade thing, and it will help to keep your house cooler is summer. But yeah, you’re supposed to trim them for the winter to let the light in!!
Imagine not using your garage because you can't cut a few branches...
No judgement on my end. I would have missed out on an awesome video if they had taken care of it themselves!
Imagine being openly ableist just because you're on the internet.
I can honestly say. Shrubs I'm not a fan of. My house we bought 4 yrs ago and I've got a different problem. Woody trees growing thru the chain link fence. Oh and the back yard avgs 45 degrees upslope on clay. Between the bottom of the hill and the deck its swamp.
@@kaimay8657 And one empowered douchebag to make a dumb comment on youtube
Thanks to CZcams algorithms, I fell upon this truly exciting video. Its so amazing, Id sell my house and all it's contents to see the sequel.
I did landscaping for 10yrs and it never failed to amaze me how often I would come across this exact situation.
Thanks for the feedback and for watching!
Honestly the shrub at the outer corner of the garage has cracked the driveway, root system no doubt
No telling what is happening to the foundation of the house and garage
I would have Strongly urged to have them completely taken out !
And would have advised planting flowers
Other people's laziness is another person's income!
I still have days where I can't believe people pay me to cut grass! ;)
I thank the Good Lord everyday for the guys that cut my yard. I just can't do it anymore without risking my life. Not to mention trying to get out of bed the next morning. I'm sure you have customers in similar shape. Most likely this one, I'd guess.
Lol usually how it works. I make cakes for a living and I guess they can't bake and make cakes look like characters for a birthday.
Maybe they have health issues dont judge man
Maybe they're disabled and simply can't keep up with all the yard work. Ever think of that? I can see the home is nice in general, so maybe that's the issue. At least they pay people to keep up the general maintenance.
They need to get rid of those hedges. Horrible placement for that type of shrub. Should never cover your windows with shrubbery. Bad for curb appeal and great for burglarers.
Probably would have looked better, too! Unfortunately, that wasn't in the scope/budget of the project.
thats true but also bugs
how to replant the cut branches.

When you said aggressive, I thought you were going to make it below the light fixture or even 4ft.
Would have looked better! For most local shrubs, though, anything past a foot of growth trimmed means you are left with sticks.
@@CopperCreekCuts those shrubs aren't pretty with so much other nice things at garden centers
@@CopperCreekCuts I would have had them dug out, but some people don't know.
@@CopperCreekCuts Sticks aren't dead and will leaf out. They needed more cut off!
Any bushes/small trees near the house need to be trimmed below the roof line. The far right side should have had the top shaped to fit under the eves. Nonetheless, nice considering beforehand.
What you accomplished is a huge improvement!! However, I would recommend cutting the bushes in front of the windows down to window sill height so the homeowner gets more light inside and can see out of their windows. Also, if you've got a creative side, sculpture those bushes into topiaries. LOL.
"Molested by the shurbs" 😂😂😂
A truly traumatizing event! :)
@@CopperCreekCuts worse when it your own couch springs 😂
TheBigBadGamer101 if you didn’t comment this I was lmao
I laughed really hard at that too
Evil Dead style 🤣
Theres a mistake in the title of this video. It says shrubs. Those things are damn trees.
XD
😂🤣😂
According to someone in our homeowners association they are the same thing. They are also on the board!
I like that you pointed out access to utilities. As a utility worker that used to work as a residential installer, I HATED dealing with the overgrown and usually prickly bushes the homeowners would constantly neglect. I cannot stress enough for people to keep the growth around their home trimmed back so a tech can service their utility connections, hang lines, etc. without getting scratch up or soaked by wet plants. Thank you for that.
I would add: people, when you want the home to look nice, don’t let the brushes or trees cover windows or lights. It encourages mold growth by holding moisture, it hides people trying to break into your home, and it blocks sunlight and fresh air.
You are very welcome, thanks for all the good points!
“Someone’s going to be able to walk by without getting molested by the shrub” lol molested, that made me laugh. Interesting way to say it.
Haha, thanks for watching!
HAHAHAHAHA! funny!
I actually felt that as a I have a bush on my entryway sidewalk! Always my thoughts when I trim! Can it touch/grab me?! Lol
Why block those beautiful windows 😩😩😩 Take them away!!
Great job with the cutting! You only did what you were asked of.
I agree, I think removal would have looked better in the long run. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It is a bedroom. Maybe they want the bushes at a height where sunlight can shine in, but people can't see in.
@@potblack6043 We use shades and curtains, and keep all windows clear of plants to prevent burglars. 🕊
Hard to fix years of neglect in a single trim. Shrubs need steady love to grow well - good work brother Brad.
Very true, and thank you so much for watching and commenting some kind words Mr. Brown! :)
Tim Brown
Well said
Sounds pretty unanimous. Rip them out and start with a clean slate
1,000 strangers on the internet might agree but if the homeowner doesn't want to pay for that work, guess who is going to win? :D
there are a lot more houses out there with out of control shrubs than most people think. One of the challenges is that people expect that when you cut down their shrubs by 70% that they haven't had trimmed for 12 years they should look like their neighbors that have been trimmed every year
Everyone in the neighborhood said finally lol 😂... Or people are saying wow that giant bush looks great 😂 lol
CC CC.. *EXACTLY* LOL
rivera752 lol no shit it’s their property, but in places where there’s a HOA there’s a common interest in keeping each person’s property orderly and nice. It could also help with increasing property value so about time those hedges were trimmed
@rivera752 it's the fact of takeing pride in ur house
as the home owner, I would have had the ones in front of the windows taken down to about 4ft high, you have windows for a reason. But you can only do what they want.
Yes, more would have been better, I agree. Like you said, had to work with what the customer wanted! Thank you for commenting! :)
Greg Ward agreed. Should’ve only been waist height at best or breast height for a short woman😩
@@RONJAE212003 Best description for shrub height I've ever read! 😁
Copper Creek Cuts lol sorry
As the home owner I would just rip it out and put in new ones those are too overgrown to take it down that far especially in one cut
Why would you want bushes infront of your windows, cut them out. Looks so nasty.
I wouldn't say nasty, but I do think it is a cleaner look without them! Thanks for watching!
It looks so poorly planned, the bushes should be cut under the window level.
I could not agree more, they should never be higher than the lowest point of the window trim, and at the corners they should be at least three feet below the soffits/eves, I have seen rats use trees and large shrubs to access the roof/attic. An apartment building I lived in I could hear rats in the attic, the management cut the trees back away from the building by about 3-4 feet and when I went out that evening on my balcony for a smoke I could see DOZENS of rats in the tree looking up at the roof like they were trying to judge whether or not they could make the jump. There was a dead rat on the ground the next day too, tried to make it and failed. Landed on the patio below my apartment.
It’s entirely possible the home owner thinks otherwise. You know, the ones paying the bills and living there full time...
Some people use the bushes to block the windows and not use curtains or blinds
This isnt the first utube video i have watched on yard and lawn clean up . These guys really work hard cleaning up overgrown yards and make everything a lot better again .
Now is the time to power wash drive and walkways next
That would have been satisfying for sure! :)
I was thinking the same thing .... lol
Before I started the video I thought it was going to be about pressure washing the driveway.
Since the power washer is out might well give the house a bath too.
I believe this home was vacant , any homeowner would of addressed the issue sooner .
Looks much better even though he says it's "rough". Actually looks like someone lives there . Before he trimmed the place looked abandoned .
Thank you for the kind words! :)
Really good job. It’s great to hear you talk about managing the customers expectations regarding the final look of an overgrown shrub. It will look pretty rough after the first cut and that it takes time to let the leaves bulk up again. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
It will look nice in a year. Select trimming after that for maintenence.
I don't use hedge trimmers anymore, just hand tools.
Honestly, you made it look much better. You were also honest explaining how when you cut off that much at once, it just does not look nice until the fill leaves grow back.
Personally, if it were my home, I would have cut the shrubs in front of the garage and windows down even more, to waste height, but thats more a taste thing. In the short term, it would look even worst, but give it a couple of months after fill-leaves grow back, then it would start looking nice.
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!
I am a large estate garden planner. You did a great job with all the constraints on you.
Thank you for the kind words, they are much appreciated!
My opinion / They still look over grown.
Get a little more aggressive and cut another 2 to 3 feet off the top of everything
Over all you made a huge improvement to the property. 👍🏼 good job
Thank you for the feedback, and I agree! Unfortunately, I had to work within the limits of the homeowner's budget and scope.
From drain cleaning videos to gardening videos, CZcams is really keeping me entertained.
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!
I know it's what the home owner wants but I'd took em down to bout 2 ft tall or all the way out for there's a window still hid and the outside light also
Who doesn’t love a nicely trimmed bush
Ooooo Herrrrrrr MATRON!!!!!
I agree👍👍👍
I chuckled
😝😋
Burn the forest down so planes can have a landing strip.
All fun and games until u hit a wasp nest lol.
That would ruin a day REAL quick!
oh heck, Ive done that. yeeeeouch!
This is why YOU'RE the professional. Great work and makes sense. This return to "shrub sanity" happens in stages....i found that out today myself. Thank you for your video!!
Variegated privet. Those things grow fast & can get out of hand fast; have to be trimmed several times a season to keep a shape. Great job.
variegated chinese privet. when they're that big, either tear them out or use a saw and some loppers and take em back to about 2ft.
Thank you for the info, you are certainly living up to your channel name! ;)
Just take them out as im a landscaper
I agree privet that big needs to hard pruned by hand and not shears and to hard prun anything it needs to be done in the winter when the plant is dormant I also see some revertam in there that needs to be taken out
I would rent a little track hoe and “take care” of them 😈
Thanks for confirming to me these were privet. Not exactly a good choice for this location. These things grow like weeds. Had them in my home in Tennessee and they were the first thing I ripped out and I rarely rip out plants unless I can find them a new home. But these things are awful in my opinion.
“this shrub is so big they can’t use the garage”:
nancy: i’m pretty sure one of our cars is still in there
gerald: nancy! i’m pretty sure we left one of our kids in there !!
XD Too funny! Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
I just LOVE my cordless electric lawn care gear... Of course not being a professional, I went for the mid-range quality, but had them for five years now and I have no complaints!...
Sounds like it has served you well!
I was impressed by how you got form out of those plants and got the lights and pathways free. Well done.
Hello: I just got my overgrown hedges trimmed way down. They hadn't been trimmed in years. Yes they looked rough. I couldnt afford
it. So please consider holding back judgement. There many things to consider.Thank you.
You make a great point, thank you for watching!
I have two large holly bushes in front of my front porch. I want them smaller or pulled out, but I'm not able. So I'm stuck with with the monsters.
It's unfortunate that people would critique great expertise and work. This was excellent. Subbed.
I literally can smell the pine right now. And I also remember my dads hedger ready to quit. It would get hot and not want to work. But the thing was like vintage. Had no problems being in service for 10 plus more years. I think he still have the darn thing. It probably 20 years old and still works. But it gives me good memories
Haha, love this story! Thanks for sharing!
I just did a quick scroll through the comments and didn't see any mention of it, but I think you saved this woman thousands of dollars on future repairs. The shrub on the corner, while attractive in composition, was going to start rotting the fascia and eaves, not to mention the roof. Whatever you charged was well worth it, from the perspective of a home owner's wallet.
A great review well done and presented very professionally. We all know hedges won't look tight when left to grow wild, it takes time and regular trimming.
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate them and your understanding! :)
I think I would have sold her on hooking a chain up and pulling them out 😅 I like the videos. I have been in the business 17 years now and still love seeing a job well done when pulling away
Swooper S agreed
Haha, but then I wouldn't have been able to test the hedge trimmer! ;) Thank you very much for commenting and watching the video, I appreciate it! :)
Agreed! I love to see everything cleaned out and simple
This is going to sound like a creepy stupid question but are you A former Marine from Missouri? LOLOLOLOL I served with a guy had the same name.
With those killer roots, you would gave pulled up the walkway too -LOL.
Cut them shorter so you can see the light on the wall !! Great job!! Much needed improvement!!
That would have looked better in the long run for sure!
It looks much better than it was. It was so overgrown that it will take time like you said to look better. Great job. 👍
Lord-a-mercy....you were "lumberjacking".😁
LOL Thanks for watching!
I would just recommend for the home owner to totally get rid of all the shrubs all together since they are so lazy to trim it themselves. That house looks more like it was abandon the way how big the shrubs get. LOL
Removal probably would have looked better in the long run!
Might be elderly residents. "Lazy" is a bit harsh.
Any number of situations could apply here! The internet is full of unnecessary judgement. 🙄
You did do a good job with keeping the bushes, and trimming them. I do think this is where you should always give the customer all options and let them make the best informed decision.
Well said! They didn't want to spend much, so the opted not to remove or replace.
Some home owners have aged or disable (both) . They need others to do what no longer able to do job i loved to do but unable to. All plants and trees grown have information about what a adulthood could be. Some people plant because they like look when small not worried about later either will replace or move. If you have time or dont mind looks for awhile there are many regrouping pruning or removing
Very well said, the whole comment! Thanks for watching!
Looks great for what you had to work with. If it had been my home I would have asked, How much to remove these 3 bushes and pressure wash my drive and sidewalks? :)
Hahaha! Too funny, I probably would have broken a window with my level of shrub pulling experience (that is to say, NONE) :)
J Colt Lazy home owner!
J Colt 10 dollars
@@vikings844 maybe not. Could be elderly or handicapped. Just sayin'. 🕊
We, home ownership in the Netherlands, do this ourselves! Fulltime jobs, kids, pets etc.
I am not complaining! It gave me a job! :)
Incredible transformation for how bad the bushes were. Very nice explanation on everything.
I was looking at my overgrown shrub to see how thick the branches are. I pulled them apart to get a look when a robin started flying in and out of it.
Now I guess I need to wait for the bird to finish nesting in it.
I thought I'd need a little chainsaw but it looks like a hedgetrimmer might do it, hard to believe though.
Thanks for the video.
“Molested by the shrubs” omg thanks for the good laughs and the video
Haha, thanks for watching!
Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care omg thanks for replying! Do you remember when I commented on the other video about me starting my lawn care business and my name was jjr45
well done sir you have done a cracking job as a landscaper i think u have done a well good job
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it! :)
I know nothing about landscaping but I love your videos brother so much man I literally can lose track of time just getting drawn into your videos
Thank you for the kind words!
I moved into a home given to me by my father and it was a huge mess and anyone I called out basically just mowed the grass and left....vines on electric box overgrown hedges so bad they grew through the fence and created almost a new one on the other side. Trash and old tires..Sidewalk covered in overgrown grass and driveway with huge patches of grass...I gave up on calling landscaping businesses and saved for tools...I have a hedge trimmer but it was so slow and I felt I wasn't making progress so I just hacked stuff down with a machete and it looked terrible but its growing back now and hopefully I can do a better job hedge trimming and have more patience since I'm new to lawn maintenance and still have alot to learn...i enjoy your vids and learn alot
The good news is everything grows back! :D
Why do people plant stuff so close to their House, don't they think it's going to Grow... 🤪
We don't plan ahead! :D
Your absolutely right about having to defend your work on YT! Haha. But I 100% agree it looks way better than it did and it's definitely more functional now. Doesn't look perfect but I mean, they probably haven't been trimmed in years! Lol. Hopefully this video gets you many views and subscribers bro! 😉👌
Many thanks Wyatt! I appreciate the well wishes, and yes, I feel like 20% of my videos are me trying to head off all the potential negative comments from people who take issue with certain things! :)
CZcams is full of 100 year + professionals in every trade. Duh.
I am a professional landscaper, I know customers say just take off a little when they need to be cut way back, the homeowner just let those get out of hand, as 99% of homeowners do, I have had many say, they didn't know they had to trim them. First thing I do when I buy a property is properly cut and trim everything.
you re not your
ledballone wow your English is gooder than mine! I can't English very well. Thanx! 😂👌
Some times a major reduction of a hedge will take two growing seasons to really look good... along with several touch up trimmings. It's what happens when bushes are allowed to go natural like that. They really show out when work is put in . You did good.
You did an excellent job.. Don’t sell yourself short!
Well done!!
I would have cut them to 12" high sticks. They would fill in nicely, over time.
That probably would have looked better in the long run for sure! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Audience I have those same shrubs in front of my home. I keep mines very short to maintain, if not they will grow very tall. People have to be careful, and NEVER let them get past your height. Chainsaw Massacre would have been my best choice to abate this problem...Smh
Would have looked better in the long run with some new plantings afterwards, too. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What kind do you have
You are a good guy and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you! :)
I like that you explained why it does not look very good. It’s all the homeowner would want those beautiful windows covered up by anything. It seems like some small plants below it would be a much better choice.
I would have cut the center one in half horizontally. It will grow and can then be made into a nice hedge. The one at the garage, needs cut down more in height as well. As for the one on the right corner of the house, it needs to match to the garage height to balance the look. Done this a lot of times. JMHO
Thanks for sharing, I don't disagree with your opinions! :)
Very bad out of control hedges. I totally agree with your decison to do step one, getting the hedges to a point where you can later work with them to get back to hedge form. Thank you! I will be showing this to my mom!!! Maybe now she will allow someone to work with her hedges 😁
I think it looks fantastic. So much better than before. Very presentable
I'm impressed with the trimmer, and it's performance 👍.
It's a shame you having to defend your work, I know what that's like too, 😔.
Great work and video mate.
Take care brad 👍👍
The unfortunate side effect of a public forum like CZcams is the public! ;) Just kidding! :) Thanks for the kind words Jason!
They actually didn’t turn out as horrible as I had thought originally. Great job!!
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
Amen brother! People just dont think about the mature size of the plants when they install them. I would have taken those privets in front of the windows down another two feet, but you did a great job considering what you had to deal with! Kudos!
Thank you for the understanding comment, I appreciate it!
Now they just need to call that CZcams concrete Power Washer guy!!

We became full time RV lifestyle a bit more than a year ago. Duriung this time we;ve been to MANY different RV parks seeing/judging the care of each of the facilities as I took extreme pride in the 3 homes/properties we previously owned. Detailed yards to perfection one was photo'd in a "neighborhood magazine" to show off "YOU TOO COULD HAVE A BEAUTIFUL YARD LIKE THIS! BUT TODAY!" sort of thing. I took pride in the detail of my work and yards.
Now, after more than a year and bored to death no longer owning a yard I always loved to maintain, having my "private time" doing so I finally became the "Camp Host" at this one we're at now in So East Arizona that has been neglected for many years.
And now... HERE I GO!!!
At first site pulling into the camp noticed the neglect. Kind oa a "OUT SIDE EYES" sort of thing. I began taking it upon myself working on some things here and finally hired to be 'THE GUY".
I just picked up an electric hedger, nothing crazy with my own money for someone else but it's doing the job. In the middle of working on hedges similar to what you have here I thought I"d check out other people doing the same and found this.... Yeah, they'll be ugly for the rest of the season but will be beautiful again next.
I would have tried to talk the customer down to bringing those down another 75%. Having them look proper when spring time comes again... But that's just my opinion.
You’re choice of words with that walk way shrub/bush 😂 too funny.
Haha, thank you!
Such a beautiful house. Shame to have those windows covered. Power wash and bleach the stonework and concrete. Would look great
I agree completely! Thank you for watching and commenting!
You did it right... I worked beside a cub cadet testing field... They mow this golf field grass everyday until the mower encounters problems and that is just a horrible way to test... All the info that they give you is from soft testing not extreme testing....
Ha, that doesn't tell you much about the mower, does it? Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate the comment! :)
Great work. That's a sweet set of trimmers. I work for a city collecting brush and you did a good job stacking it up. Its aggravating when people dont pile it up neatly.
Haha, I use their services a lot so don't ever want them mad at me! :D
This is a good lesson on making sure you choose the correct plant in the correct location.
I would have “accidentally” chopped them down. Oops!!! Customer would have been better off. 😁
LOL yes, maybe.
Seriously. Take them out, drop a new $25 plant in the hole, come back in 4 years and repeat.
In my experience with crazy overgrown shrubs, i find it better to cut them right down just before spring and start them over. Usually looking great again after a few weeks, and you can control their shape easier from a fresh start
Very true, that is a good way to go!
I completely agree with your trimming of the hedges, I do my own, so I know exactly what you’re saying.
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
I was told it’s best to go bottom to top. Also, directional sweeps away from the body seems more safe. These look great though! Thanks for the share.
Omg! Pressure washing that driveway would bring me much joy.
That would be a good follow-up video! :)
This was so satisfying to watch 🤤 We love our electric echo tools!
Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!
Please.
So the client never had maintenance done to these shrubs. Insane. Good work!
Why do I enjoy watching lawn care videos so much?
I live in Indiana and I just pruned mine back that were hanging halfway over the sidewalk. They look horrible. I do not own the home just rent it however the owner gave me permission. My wife is absolutely livid on how terrible they look right now. I laughed and stated they will grown in full or else how would they have gotten so big. They also had no shape which I dislike a great deal. But I will have to listen to her for maybe 6 month to actually next year but it is all good.
LOL Too funny my man! I like the comment about them growing back. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet! ;)
Man, that's years of neglect, hope the inside of the house is in better condition.
I am just glad I was able to spruce up the outside a little bit! :) Thanks for watching!
MOBILE COLLEGE I doubt it!
Probably funky as hell 👎👎
CZcams decides to bring this to me now... almost 4 years later. No regrets there.
Yeah, I have to agree with a few folks who mentioned that the windows should have been completely cleared. I wonder what it looks like now. :)
I always drive by. A while later it looked much the same. A while after that they got somebody to cut them WAY back. I can't remember what the most current state is! :D
Good job, all the shrubs they look great they look better than they did before their rounded off, lots of work!
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated!
Looks like variegated privet. Whoever thought it was a good idea to plant those in rose locations know little about landscaping.
Yes, you are right!
