How do you do it...

Just wondering what your tips & trics of the trade are... How do you clip your shrubs a.o. as straight\tight as possible. Machinery & tools? For me the tools wich supose to help, don't, is that me?

Myself, I use a battery powered (Stihl) hedge trimmer (no noise or wires, love it) with a 60+ cm. (kind of weird I'll guess, but I love the size) blade. Wether geometric as fanciful pieces. Now and then with a piece of wire to line up more then one (geometric) shrub when it appears. Although I'll end up with two pieces of wire a lot of times... :) Love to work by eye-sight. Not the easy way I guess...

Please share me your skills, I love to learn more about them!

Not the best and most fancy example, but one of the jobs I'm bussy with now and then... :)

I used tarps for the first time in years this week and found it so rewarding. Your pic looks really good!
