Bush Trimming Peachtree City, GA

Did We Use Hedge Shears Or Trimmers?

We helped a nearby customer in the Peachtree City area with some of their bushes which were currently out of whack.

Thankfully, this customer's bushes simply appeared to be overdue for a bi-yearly routine trim, so we didn't have to whip out the chainsaw just yet.

Surprisingly, there tends to be a fairly long debate between whether hedge shears or hedge trimmers are the best tools for tackling overgrown bushes.

Now, while there's always die-hard fans who swear by one over the other every single time in every situation, we, however, approach every yard work problem with the best solution possible.

In this case, it involved using a solid trimmer followed by some light touching up with a pair of shears.

Trimmers are by far the most time efficient tools for cutting overgrown bushes such as in the case of this specific customer.

And since we had to tackle a fair bit of bushes in a short period of time, we were happy to use as much time advantage as we could get.

Shears, however, tend to get set aside more than they should these days in some ways though.

Yes, they're old-fashioned and a bit more time consuming, but there is just a certain amount of control and crispness to their cut that the likes of an electric trimmer will never have in some ways.

Long story short, we never pigeon-hole ourselves in operating in the status quo merely for the sake of it being the status quo.

Every customer and job is different, so having a dynamic and adaptable approach to every yardwork situation has helped us in a multitude of ways, and will likely continue to do so for many projects and customers yet to come.

How Often Should You Trim Your Bushes?

The ideal amount of times that your bushes should be trimmed can depend on a variety of factors.

Such factors can include: the specific species of your bushes, what sort of weather region you live in and even the position of where your bushes are in comparison to your home.

As a general rule of thumb though, it's often recommended for most homeowners to have their bushes and other shrubs trimmed on an average of 2-3 Times A Year.

Ideally, near the endings of the Spring and Fall months.

This frequency is a great range for the average homeowner in relations to their bushes, be they very many or very few.

If neglected for long enough, bushes can become overgrown and severely intangled.

These mess of vines and branches not only impact the image which your exterior house can give off, but make it much more of a hassle to get them back into a regular state the next time you go to trim them.

Conversely, however, if your bushes are being trimmed to often, this could likely impact the integrity of the plant and potentially stint it's growth in the future yet to come.
