    Laura: Thank you for all your hard work and incredible enthusiasm; you are truly inspirational. I stumbled onto your videos and have enjoyed viewing them since. I've soaked up your knowledge, tips, advice...and incredible delivery...you've become so natural and comfortable in front of the camera...(something that is definitely easier said than done!) Keep those videos coming and say "Hey" to Aaron for me...his work/research on the camera is also very much appreciated. And a P.S....I told my Mom about your videos (and she is not a tech-savvy person at all)...and she watches you all the time now. That is right next to a miracle!! When I get a chance to see her, the conversation always turns to your latest videos...and...haha...how cute your wave Good-bye is in all the videos!!!

    Those hedges look amazing! Thanks for the great review. For the last four years I have been using a $50 Black and Decker electric hedger and cut through a few cords. Today I trimmed a bush, and the Black and Decker was really not cutting it. Some of what I do 11 foot high bushes and bush trimming for the neighbors. I had never looked at battery operated hedge trimmers, but I have a lot of other Dewalt tools so I did a lot of research, watched some videos, and five hours later I have a new Dewalt hedge trimmer! I got it at Home Depot for $179, and it is better than I could have ever imagined!

    The previous owner of the property should be very pleased. You have both the skills and desire to make the garden even more amazing. Have you considered renting it out for a wedding reception? With your creations not much more embellishments need to be added. Of course guest foot traffic is a concern but with a manageable crowd it could be a lovely experience for all.

I have an echo gas leaf blower but i have to have my husband turn it on for me because you have to pull the cord in order for it to turn on and it hurts my shoulder after several tries and it doesn't always turn on after two or three pulls. I to have cut thru the extension cord using the electric hedge trimmer 😖. I also love the idea of having one brand. Now I just need a review on the wall mount hose reel vs the cart hose reel. Again thank you.

    Denise B you should have someone show you how to start a 2 stroke engine. Or have the engine adjusted properly. Should only take one or 2 pulls max. Step 1. Press the primer bulb a few times to prime the engine. 2. set choke to full. 3. Hold throttle wide open. 4. Pull starter cord. 5. once engine starts warm it up a bit like 30 second then close choke.

    U can also use a string if u aren't good at getting the height right. Tie the string on stakes to cover the distance u want to trim & don't go beyond the string. Why do we hear the sound of the blower, but not the hedge trimmer.? Gas hedge trimmers are much noisier. Would have appreciated hearing the trimmer as u trimmed. Even a sound comparison of gas, electric, & battery operated hedge trimmers would have been helpful 🙁 Would love to see someone develop a hedgebot to trim hedges, like the lawnbot does for lawns 😊

You don't have to worry where in your yard they go and no messy irritating cord to worry about. Mine are well used and in their 2nd year and are still really sharp and are also fabulous for cutting long grass/weeds prior to mowing difficult areas. AAA+ and then some. If anyone is still thinking about getting some I would say go for it!!!

    I love my boxwood hedges but I am having a hard time dialing in the right time to trim them and not have the fresh cut leaf edges turn brown/burn from the sun. You trimmed your boxwood hedge(beautiful job!) on a day when you said the temp was going up to 95 degrees. I live west of Seattle and we rarely get in the 90s. But mine turn brown if I trim them on a sunny day 😟

I am wanting to put boxwoods up front and do more wintergreen in the front of the house so it can stay green all year long. What is your opinion to help get rid of the 4 o clocks (which grow like a weed) I've thought of putting the mat down like you did behind your green house to prevent weeds from growing up also... not sure what the mat is called. And also what would be the best boxwood variety to put in? I've heard they grow kinda slow but I have set my mind to having some kind of hedge upfront. Any thoughts would be appreciated...
