Hedge trimmers
Answer a few questions and find the best hedge trimmer for you.
Easily prune large and high hedges without a ladder thanks to the telescopic lance.
With a standard hedge trimmer, you can prune most hedges, depending on the blade length.
Prune small hedges such as a boxwood and lavender in a controlled way with a handheld hedge trimmer.
Cordless 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.
Electric hedge trimmers
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.
Our choice for pruning large hedges
Bosch Advanced Hedgecut 36V-65-28
With this hedge trimmer, you can prune small and large hedges wirelessly and quickly. Thanks to the long 65cm blade, you can prune large areas in one go. This way, you're done quickly. The battery is part of the Bosch POWER FOR ALL 36V battery platform. You can also use the battery on other garden tools from the same battery platform.
1 battery for all your (garden)tools
Many cordless hedge trimmers are part of a battery platform, which means that you also use the battery on other (garden) tools of the same battery platform. For example, a lawn mower or drill. This way, you don't buy a new battery every time and you save space in the shed. Many brands have an 18V and a 36V battery platform, so make sure the voltage of your battery and hedge trimmer is the same.
How do you choose a hedge trimmer?
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.
Advice on trimming
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.
