Hedge trimmers

With a cordless hedge trimmer, you trim fully cordlessly. This means there's never a cord in the way and you don't need a socket. During longer jobs you do need to charge the battery in between, so you can't work without interruptions. Get an extra battery from the same battery platform so you can continue to work longer.

With an electric hedge trimmer, you're never without power. This means you can trim without interruptions. You do always need a socket or extension cord. Make sure the cord isn't in the way when you use these hedge trimmers, so you don't accidentally cut it.

Which hedge trimmer you should choose depends on your hedge and the propulsion of the hedge trimmer. You can trim small hedges into shape with a handheld hedge trimmer and reach high hedges more easily with a telescopic hedge trimmer. You can control the pruning movement with short blades, which is useful for smaller hedges. Choose a hedge trimmer with a long blade if you want to be done quickly. Also look at the propulsion of the hedge trimmer. You can prune without interruptions with an electric hedge trimmer and without cords with a cordless hedge trimmer.

How you use your hedge trimmer depends on the hedge you have. For example, you prune conifers at a different time of the year than Portuguese Laurels. You should also keep in mind the shape in which you prune and the number of branches you remove in one go. This way, you can be sure that you don't damage the hedge. We explain how and when to prune the most common hedges here.
