Hedge Trimming

We have some short hedge bushes in the front of the house. They seem to grow quickly. I trim them about two times a year. It is always a tough chore. The hedges are surrounded by mulch. When I trim the hedges, the clippings fall in the mulch and make it look bad.

This year I decided to remove the mulch first. That was a painfully long process. Then I trimmed the hedges. Picked up as much of the clippings as I could gather. It is a tough task as the clippings mix in with the mulch. Finally I replaced the mulch over top of the clippings.

The end result looks good. Everything is nicely trimmed. There are no clippings to be seen. I am just very sore from working on this project. I got to think up a better way for next time.
