25.01.2022 Out on a beautiful sunny Sunday and spotted this brilliantly trimmed greenery while walking up to @pattisonspatisserie in St. Ives to buy one of their amazing pastries. .

25.01.2022 Working on a lovely garden estate in Dural. Big shout out to Darren Webb of D&G maintenance services . I had the privilege of working with Darren to help trim and shape the large volume of large garden hedges on the day for his Dural client. These hedges remind me of the shape of the 50s airstream caravans. . . . . .... #airstreamcaravel #hedge #gardens #leaf #greenworld #airstream #terrace #topiary #hills #landscape #greenery #artistic #dural #greenplanet #glenhaven #castlehill #baulkhamhills #northmeadhedges #art #sculptured #designlife #artoftheday #photography #greenfences #precision #greenwall #hedges See more

25.01.2022 This Leighton Green hedge had to be graduated by about 5 degrees from one end to the other of a 30 meter section. Swipe to see the before shots at the end of the carousel along with a pool area section, although the pool area was well overdue meaning the finish was not as smooth as i would have liked to achieve if it was trimmed sooner rather than later.

24.01.2022 Came across this outstanding book the other day on the gardens of Luciano Giubbilei so inspiring. Well written and detailed. Highly recommend if your into garden landscaping and hedges. . . .... . #buxus #buxushedge #hedgecutter #hedgecutting #hedgecraft #northmeadhedges #greenwalls #greenworld #greengardens #northmead #pictureperfectphotos #amazinghedges #beautifulgardens #topiarytree #boxhedges #boxwoodtopiary #boxwoodgarden #lucianogiubbileigardens #landscapededign #contemporylandscapes See more

21.01.2022 Idea for a promo card, let me know what you think?

21.01.2022 Not able to go anywhere over Easter meant having to stay home and spend time in the garden, journeying past Buddha, Chinese fishermen figure, vintage coffeemaker, experimental buxus hedge and arriving at the fishpond lol...

20.01.2022 Stephen shaping this Murraya hedge and taking a chance on the upper limits of the Niwaki ladder in order to reach the other side of the hedge three meters away from the top of the ladder. It’s important that single leg base is perfectly flat, stable and secured and never ever overreach. This was a calculated risk as there is plenty of hedge surround and the ladder is prevented from moving sideways by the intersecting hedges. . . .... #murraya #buxus #buxushedge #hedgecutter #hedgecutting #hedgecraft #northmeadhedges #greenwalls #greenworld #greengardens #northmead #pictureperfectphotos #amazinghedges #beautifulgardens #topiarytree #boxhedges #boxwoodtopiary #boxwoodgarden See more

20.01.2022 With the lack of rain last month a good 5cm of fine mulch helps retain the moisture for the dry periods. Now is a good time to capture all that water and treat your garden to a new blanket! Introducing our new instant garden transformation mulch service. We remove weeds and overgrown grass and then if your garden has no boarders we naturally shape the garden edges for you without the need for bricks and mortar, followed by laying of a good mulch. Not only does fine mulch he...lp retain the water during dry periods but it makes it easy to manage weeds if they appear. We recommend either fine cypress mulch or soft fall. The way we lay your mulch brings your whole garden to life giving it an attractive look. See the before shots in this post. Cypress mulch for example not only transforms the look of your home but inhibits the growth of weeds along with its anti microbial effects and termite resistant qualities. This yard had no garden edge to speak of. We created an edge then layed the mulch up to it. #hedge #gardens #leaf #greenworld #greenball #terrace #topiary #hills #landscape #greenery #artistic #northmead #greenplanet #glenhaven #castlehill #baulkhamhills #northmeadhedges #art #sculptured #designlife #artoftheday #photography #greenfences #precision #greenwall #hedges

18.01.2022 Part 2 left side- Two hedges continued..., in case you missed the previous post its a low buxus below a raised grass area and a large jasmine in the background. The jasmine was higgildy pigildy before we reshaped it to a level top and straight sides. We started by stepping it and cutting down the high areas. Three trims and its looking good. . . . .... #jasmine #buxus #hedge #gardens #leaf #greenworld #greenball #terrace #topiary #hills #landscape #greenery #artistic #northmead #greenplanet #cherrybrook #castlehill #baulkhamhills #northmeadhedges #art #sculptured #designlife #artoftheday #photography #greenfences #precision #greenwall #hedges See more

15.01.2022 Amazing passion fruit flowers. I think they look like organic machinery. This is a flower on a vine I trimmed yesterday as part of a whole garden prune. If you have to trim a passion fruit vine just trim the vines and leave the flowers as the flowers turn into fruit.

14.01.2022 Even though I love hedging, every now and then I need to take a mental break.

12.01.2022 This is not a picture of just leaves. look closely at the leaves, its actually leaves and Gaffa tape! When I am working on a hedge with holes in it caused by dead or broken branches, rather than wait for a several years for it to grow back, I use it to repair and conceal the holes immediately!. You can repair almost any hole in any hedge. Its easy to use, its tough, resists wind, meaning it prevents movement and does not damage the hedge branches. I even use it to connect... fallen dead branches using them as supports and ties. You can use cable ties but they dont deteriorate over time and they are slow and complicated to use. The tape grips on any angle and usually there are more often than not surrounding leafy branches that are available to help fill gaps in the look of your hedge. Sometimes I find nice leafy branches pointing inside, I just pull them forward into the gap and secure them with the tape. I find it really helps immensely to make a hedge look perfect and often gives shaded leaves in the hedge more access to sunlight. On this particular job I was able to fill a several huge holes in a Viburnum hedge. These interior repairs are not easily visible from the outside of the hedge because of the tape colour and the position I place the tie. I also used a string line on the Viburnum hedge pictured as it is a big leaf hedge and makes it easier to get a straight edge. See more

12.01.2022 This is how to make domes on an existing flat top hedge. Currently its a work in progress. I made a circular template with legs to keep it steady when making the first cuts. Then I was able to make duplicate topiary domes on this square top horseshoe hedge. First a deep cut everywhere except the template (the last picture is of the first deep cuts around the entire hedge) Then I waited a few months then cut & shaped and so on and so forth. I intend for these domes to be highe...r and more circular but this is where they are from making the template and the initial cut and occasional trims from 6 months ago up until now. Will post more developments in future as it I am able to cut deeper and trim the domes in a more rounded fashion. . . . . #topiary #domes #dome #buxus #buxushedge #hedgecutter #hedgecutting #hedgecraft #northmeadhedges #greenwalls #greenworld #greengardens #amazinghedges #beautifulgardens #topiarytree

09.01.2022 Youll never believe what kind of tree this is towering over the three story house! If your thinking Gum tree you be wrong, its actually a Lilli Pilly! The figure in the red shirt in center of the tree is professional arborist Richard, from the Tree Doctor working on a job of theirs. Just goes to show how big a Lilly Pilly can grow if left alone! Now maybe you want a hundred foot Lilly Pilly, but if you dont Richards the man to talk too.

05.01.2022 Love working on these hedges, completed these today. The large hedges have a walk space all the way around which is great for accessing the back. Most gardens Ive come across dont allow for that space and the neighbours end up dealing large overhanging branches. Tall hedges look flat from the front but are mostly 3 meters deep. However long it takes to do the fronts- the tops can 5 times longer. . .

04.01.2022 Love these old self-sharpening shears! Had them since 1980, they are fast, sharp and light! When Im trimming in the groove it sounds like a machine going clipityclipclip! I took this shot of them sitting on top of a Buxus hedge I trim. Depending on the amount of regrowth I generally use a battery trimmer to remove the bulk and finish off with these shears. If you're looking for someone that cares about doing an outstanding job in your garden on your hedges or if you need a hedge line planted let me know. I work exclusively in the hills area and surrounds. Would welcome the opportunity to give you a free no-obligation quote.

01.01.2022 How to style a viburnum hedge when you don’t need it for block out! This hedge was problematic for pedestrians for years until this trim. After trimming it back like a normal hedge the first time. The next time I did this radical lower trim leaving a canopy. Solving the problem for quite some time and giving it a fresh new Japaneselook. If your wondering what the hedge behind the wall is it’s bamboo. The whole hedge cut was done with the awesome Stihl GTA 26 which m...ade quick work of it.

01.01.2022 Since Ive been working on gardens Im always on the lookout for green vegetation. Every day on my way to work on hedges Im naturally drawn to any green plants that look like a hedge or could be a hedge. I pass by many front gardens with hedges. Some are trimmed and neat, some trimmed wonky, some are disheveled and overgrown. Very few are amazing though. I think about how I could fix the ones with issues spending a few hours there transforming these gardens into a ...joy to look at. Truth be known Im driven to make a difference to get an outstanding result and would transform all these gardens for the love of it and the exercise. . . . #greenworld #radioactive #greenlantern #greenhedges #greenhedge #seeinggreen #surroundedbygreen #nswgardens #sydneygardens #northmeadhedges #gardencare #plantworld #castlehill #winstonhills #dural #kenthurst #transforminggardens #beautifullandscapes #beautifulgardens #hedgetrimming #topiary See more
