How do you cut a hedge straight?

In: Lawn Mowers and Garden Tools [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you have a stationary back ground ie house window or anything level, use that for a reference.

If not, and the ground beside the hedges is level, pay attention to how and where you are holding the hedge trimmer. Keep your arms/back in the same position all the way down the hedges. Compare where the hedge trimmer is to your body...is it knee level?, at your waist?, neck. Where ever it is, keep it there. These things only work if you are on level ground.
