Keep Your Garden Hedges And Shrubs Tidy With A Pair Of Garden Shears

You can control those untidy and unruly garden hedges with a pair of simple garden shears. These shears basically consist of two sharp blades with handles, and work very much like a pair of scissors.

They are fine for carrying out smaller tasks, but as they rely on the strength of the operator can prove to be tiring over long periods of time.

For this reason many seasoned gardeners prefer to use power hedge trimmers for trimming large areas of hedges and shrubs, because of the extra speed and efficiency they provide.

Although these shears are pretty basic there are a range of designs offering an assortment of extra features, such as forged wooden or steel handles, steel blades, serrated edges and bump tops.

You may also find some with adjustable blades for either vertical or horizontal cutting. Some of these more advanced designs offer superior cutting performance whilst still remaining comfortable.

In addition to trimming hedges, shears can also be used to trim decorative shrubbery and various other types of plants.

If you have an artistic streak in you and a little imagination it's possible to create some amazing shapes and designs.
