Things I've learned to make hedge cutting easier! 1.) Check how it's growing before you start, it's probably not uniform so this needs to be factored in if you want straight sides/top. 2.) Clear your work area of obstacles and lay out tarpaulin or sheets where you can to catch the trimmings. 3.) Set up a string line on stakes along the length of the hedge about 1cm below the height you want to ensure you achieve a straight top. 4.) Do the sides first working with sweeping cutting arcs from the bottom up. Trim lightly to start with to make sure you've "got your eye in" 4.) Leave the hedge wider at the bottom than the top, never the other way round. 5.) Finish with the top and keep checking your progress by regularly stepping away and taking a look.
