The Risks of DIY Hedge Trimming

Even small hedges can present challenges for DIYers. Attempting to trim them yourself can lead to:

Injury from Tools – Hedge trimmers, ladders, and power tools can be dangerous if not used correctly. Accidents are common among DIYers.

🌳 Damage to Hedges and Surrounding Plants – Incorrect trimming techniques can harm the hedge and damage nearby flowers, shrubs, or trees.

💷 Property Damage – Overreaching or using unsuitable equipment may cause damage to fences, walls, or garden structures.

Uneven or Poor Results – DIY trimming often leaves hedges patchy, uneven, or overcut, affecting the appearance and health of the plant.

DIY hedge trimming is not only physically demanding but can also create costly problems.
