A wild and natural garden will require a different sort of hedge trimmer than a more formal, well manicured garden. Make sure, when buying a petrol hedge trimmer that you get a tool that is right for your garden. If you want to save yourself the annoyance and expense of buying the wrong machine, you must do your checking beforehand.

Petrol hedge trimmers fall into three main categories which I have detailed below. I have described the main uses for each type. My list should be of assistance when deciding which type is right for your own property. If your business is providing gardening services, then it might be most appropriate for you to have two or three types to be able to cope with any job you are given.

It may be that you have to sculpt or shape delicate shrubs or bushes. It is possible to buy a petrol hedge trimmer with a small blade size of 14".You will be surprised how easily these little machines cope with all the delicate trimming. These machines may be small but they are powerful enough to get the job done quickly and leave a very neat finish.

If you need a multi-purpose hedge cutter, choosing one with a cutting bar head of around 22" will tackle most garden jobs. You need to buy a double action blade machine that has blades which move in opposite directions. You will find that the great advantage of this, to you as the operator will be much less of the vibration which is so tiring if you are using your trimmers a lot.

A Pole Hedge Trimmer or Petrol Long Reach Hedge Trimmer is the model to choose if your hedges are taller than you are. You will avoid the necessity of climbing a ladder or platform and can cut tall hedges from the safety of the ground. These hedge trimmers also have blades that can be angled to allow the top of the hedge as well as the sides to be cut which is a big advantage for you.

You may perhaps have come to the conclusion that for the jobs you need to do, you will need more than one model of petrol hedge trimmer. My list is intended to give you the basis upon which to make your decision and purchase the right tool for the job.
