Thanks so much. An excellent tutorial!
What kind of hedges are these?
It looks like the top is wider than the bottom? This will eventually cause thinning at bottom of plant, top should always be narrower. Just look at any natural growing tree or bush.
You still need to trim and even up the base.
Fall or spring ?
looks great! really helped.. thank you!
thank you sir much appreciated, sandy
Hang the wire on your shoulder so it hangs behind you. This way, there is less chance of cutting the wire or tripping on it.

If you find powered cutters unwieldy, you may find you'll like old-fashioned manual shears better, as they're much lighter. Look for ones with angled handles to give some working room in terms of offset. Maybe not as fast as powered cutters, but more control. Nice and quiet and they have no cord in the way or battery to go dead. Other than that, going over the bushes with a rake after the rough trimming will shake out dead stuff and help with trimming down to a much neater appearance.
Thank you! I'm going to give your method a try.
