Would've been best to cut them to stumps. It's hard to kill bushes, even if you try, and the stumps would quickly grow, almost as if new ones were planted. This would be a happy medium between expensive complete removal, and the just enough to not do the job/just enough to piss off the neighbors, which this video shows. Also, leaving them tall and out of proportion with the house leaves the house with that "abandoned" look, which it began with.

We had yuccas at a rental we lived in, in Melbourne, Australia. We let them grow, when they reached the roof, we lopped the tops and planted them. By the time we left, it was a wall of yucca over the front window. When the yuccas were small and sparse when we first moved in, the front room would reach in excess of 50 degrees C in summer. It was bloody hot!! Leaving them there may be a shade thing, and it will help to keep your house cooler is summer. But yeah, you’re supposed to trim them for the winter to let the light in!!

They need to get rid of those hedges. Horrible placement for that type of shrub. Should never cover your windows with shrubbery. Bad for curb appeal and great for burglarers.

I like that you pointed out access to utilities. As a utility worker that used to work as a residential installer, I HATED dealing with the overgrown and usually prickly bushes the homeowners would constantly neglect. I cannot stress enough for people to keep the growth around their home trimmed back so a tech can service their utility connections, hang lines, etc. without getting scratch up or soaked by wet plants. Thank you for that. I would add: people, when you want the home to look nice, don’t let the brushes or trees cover windows or lights. It encourages mold growth by holding moisture, it hides people trying to break into your home, and it blocks sunlight and fresh air.

An apartment building I lived in I could hear rats in the attic, the management cut the trees back away from the building by about 3-4 feet and when I went out that evening on my balcony for a smoke I could see DOZENS of rats in the tree looking up at the roof like they were trying to judge whether or not they could make the jump. There was a dead rat on the ground the next day too, tried to make it and failed. Landed on the patio below my apartment.

Honestly, you made it look much better. You were also honest explaining how when you cut off that much at once, it just does not look nice until the fill leaves grow back. Personally, if it were my home, I would have cut the shrubs in front of the garage and windows down even more, to waste height, but thats more a taste thing. In the short term, it would look even worst, but give it a couple of months after fill-leaves grow back, then it would start looking nice.

Trash and old tires..Sidewalk covered in overgrown grass and driveway with huge patches of grass...I gave up on calling landscaping businesses and saved for tools...I have a hedge trimmer but it was so slow and I felt I wasn't making progress so I just hacked stuff down with a machete and it looked terrible but its growing back now and hopefully I can do a better job hedge trimming and have more patience since I'm new to lawn maintenance and still have alot to learn...i enjoy your vids and learn alot

The good news is everything grows back! :D

I live in Indiana and I just pruned mine back that were hanging halfway over the sidewalk. They look horrible. I do not own the home just rent it however the owner gave me permission. My wife is absolutely livid on how terrible they look right now. I laughed and stated they will grown in full or else how would they have gotten so big. They also had no shape which I dislike a great deal. But I will have to listen to her for maybe 6 month to actually next year but it is all good.

LOL Too funny my man! I like the comment about them growing back. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet! ;)

I would have cut them to 12" high sticks. They would fill in nicely, over time.

I was looking at my overgrown shrub to see how thick the branches are. I pulled them apart to get a look when a robin started flying in and out of it. Now I guess I need to wait for the bird to finish nesting in it. I thought I'd need a little chainsaw but it looks like a hedgetrimmer might do it, hard to believe though. Thanks for the video.

Some times a major reduction of a hedge will take two growing seasons to really look good... along with several touch up trimmings. It's what happens when bushes are allowed to go natural like that. They really show out when work is put in . You did good.

I'm impressed with the trimmer, and it's performance 👍. It's a shame you having to defend your work, I know what that's like too, 😔. Great work and video mate. Take care brad 👍👍

A great review well done and presented very professionally. We all know hedges won't look tight when left to grow wild, it takes time and regular trimming.

Seriously. Take them out, drop a new $25 plant in the hole, come back in 4 years and repeat.

You did do a good job with keeping the bushes, and trimming them. I do think this is where you should always give the customer all options and let them make the best informed decision.

Well said! They didn't want to spend much, so the opted not to remove or replace.

We became full time RV lifestyle a bit more than a year ago. Duriung this time we;ve been to MANY different RV parks seeing/judging the care of each of the facilities as I took extreme pride in the 3 homes/properties we previously owned. Detailed yards to perfection one was photo'd in a "neighborhood magazine" to show off "YOU TOO COULD HAVE A BEAUTIFUL YARD LIKE THIS! BUT TODAY!" sort of thing. I took pride in the detail of my work and yards. Now, after more than a year and bored to death no longer owning a yard I always loved to maintain, having my "private time" doing so I finally became the "Camp Host" at this one we're at now in So East Arizona that has been neglected for many years. And now... HERE I GO!!! At first site pulling into the camp noticed the neglect. Kind oa a "OUT SIDE EYES" sort of thing. I began taking it upon myself working on some things here and finally hired to be 'THE GUY". I just picked up an electric hedger, nothing crazy with my own money for someone else but it's doing the job. In the middle of working on hedges similar to what you have here I thought I"d check out other people doing the same and found this.... Yeah, they'll be ugly for the rest of the season but will be beautiful again next. I would have tried to talk the customer down to bringing those down another 75%. Having them look proper when spring time comes again... But that's just my opinion.

You did it right... I worked beside a cub cadet testing field... They mow this golf field grass everyday until the mower encounters problems and that is just a horrible way to test... All the info that they give you is from soft testing not extreme testing....

“MOLESTED by the bush!” 😂😂🤣

It looks much better than it was. It was so overgrown that it will take time like you said to look better. Great job. 👍

In my experience with crazy overgrown shrubs, i find it better to cut them right down just before spring and start them over. Usually looking great again after a few weeks, and you can control their shape easier from a fresh start

Very true, that is a good way to go!

I've never understood why "foundation plantings" are considered so necessary by so many people. Large woody shrubs shouldn't be placed close to houses like this. If you really want them, put them far away from structures or paths or driveways. There's no way they won't get too big eventually, and become a problem, like the ones in this video.

Well, it's "better". . . but they all really should have been removed. Way, WAY too big, even after trimming. Quite the job for the ECHO though! Looks like it handled the job quite well. And that was the purpose of this video, right? Good job ECHO! Now go get the chain & pull them out. LOL!

I've done some trimming for a lady and halfway through she said it looked fine and she paid me full bid price. It's still half finished and she was super happy. ( mind you I do nothing with power tools on lawns except a mower, to poor for fancy things.)

I've used an electric B & D trimmer for years. It's been a workhorse but I no longer am, and wanted to make my job easier. kzread.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG Around the corners, the small side yard etc. was a pain to run the cord out to, so I bought this thinking I'd use it for touch-ups and hard to reach places. Well, I haven't used the corded one since!This is so light weight and so much easier. It has all the power I need because I start wearing down after about 20 minutes and I haven't run out of battery yet. It takes about two hours to charge. I've used it about twice a week for a month and still have line left too. My favorite feature is the blade inside the shield that keeps the line trim to where I don't even have to think about it. You can see from my pic that it's been heavily used and I probably should clean it more often. Very happy with it.

I think it looks fantastic. So much better than before. Very presentable

Those were some bushy bushes! Nice work man! Looks really good.
