Rob. That’s proper graft taking out roots and all. I always try to persuade a customer to mix a hedge up ie different types and colours always looks great when it’s established. I alway use a post digger spade when I’m making holes for the newbies makes life a bit easier in my opinion. Great post.

Great job Rob. Keep on top of the trimming when it gets established so it doesn’t get away from you. I’ve trimmed a Laurel patch today 6’ tall very wide. I had to use my one metre extension on my Stihl Combi hedge cutter to cut the top. I took off last years growth which was approx 4’ in length.

You need a farmers high lift jack pal for getting roots out. Wrap a chain around the roots and get her lifted out.

Couldn’t recommend this more. It saves so much effort on a stump

Great job , i like the laural hedges , i tend to like convincing customers to go for 2 foot spacing if possible especially on smaller runs , a makes a nice quick full screen, anywhere between 2ft and 3ft spacing is 100per cent, obviously the larger gap will take longer to grow in so to speak, i like using root balled plants as i generally can get a larger plant for less money as a root ball vrs pot grown, but those plants look good and they will grow fast , a tidy job well done, as you say keep them watered!

Great job as always Rob but tbh, as a gardener myself I'd much prefer to cut and maintain a Conifer over a Laurel any day but each to their own!

Leylandii is easier to trim, doesn’t look as nice though. Thank you for watching and your comment.

Get yourself a farm jack and a length of good chain. Wrap the chain around the stump. Fix with big screws. Connect to the jack. Sit the jack in a double thickness section of scaffolding board and just jack the stumps out as you dig and cut. It'll save you hour's of work.

Good job, Rob, but I would not plant a cherry laurel hedge as I hate the bugger s. Lol .I would stear the customer towards a Portuguese laurel instead. 😉. The green gold will shortly be growing !

Looks a great job, how fast do they grow - ie how long before its a solid hedge as opposed to separate bushes?

@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices

Two years they will be a six feet hedge. 👍🏻

Awesome video Rob! Quick question though, would you not need to give the hole a good watering before putting the plant in like you would most flower bed plants?

@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices

5 ай бұрын

You can do that, or dip the root ball in a tub of water. I give the whole area a good watering.

I always water the hole when planting shrubs, good point 👍

Further to your ''vital to increase our prices'' commentary,...I suddenly remembered a few years ago how some gardening men in their newspaper adverts would add the comment...''Special rates or discounts for Pensioners''.....I wonder if they do that anymore Rob?! You'd be surprised how many of them are actually quite well off, probably receiving a pretty hefty private pension plus £10,500 annual state pension. Plus hundreds in the Winter Fuel Allowance...others receiving pension top-ups, both council rent and council tax also reduced to zero. Many such people are vastly better off than we are...whereas we are out in all weathers, enduring punishing physical work, day after day. How many of us are physically shattered when we wake up in the morning and then off we toddle and have to do it all over again,..it takes some degree of motivation...some real heft! Feel free Rob to knock out another video off my comments! All the best Rob.

Hi Rob, love the channel but I have to say absolutely nothing beautiful about a laurel hedge, sorry not for me a hedge that has to be kept tidy with the secateurs and a absolute nightmare to remove from the ground.. keep up the content buddy, I'm just about ready to start back after a nice break everything sharpened and serviced..

i wouldn't put laurels in, they are far too fast growing and take a lot of time to look nice. They don't make a nice tight hedge.
