Man you'll be forever using that hand trimmer.

Hi! This makes a lot of sense. Just one question: how do you go about at the top? Do you cut the main stem just right back? The Thujas I've got in the garden seem to be slow growing (I've inherited them from the previous owner). They are now about three metres high. My main concern is that they grow too tall and block off the sun. What do you recommend? Thanks from Sweden :) Deborah

I like the hand clipper idea, but that's just not practical in a lawn care business most of the time. What I do is hedge trim, scissor and then use hand clippers to detail it out.

How do I convince my neighbor to not let his weeds turn into trees?
