For neat and tidy gardens this spring/summer season, invest in the Bosch ASB 10.8 LI Cordless Shrub-Shear.
Now available for under £90 at garden equipment specialist MowDirect, this handy tool is ideal for trimming back overgrown shrubs and plants.
Powered by a high-performance 10.8v lithium battery, the Bosch ASB model allows a running time of 100 minutes from just three hours charging.
The lightweight shearer weights 950g and features an ergonomic smooth-grip handle for ease of use and boasts precision-ground 200mm blades.
Optional accessories include a 110mm shrub-shear blade as well as 80mm and 100mm grass-shear blades.
The misuse of sheared shrubbery is one of the most common form of landscape mismanagement, experts say. Shearing style and frequency depends on the garden and species of shrubs. Effective pruning enhances the natural growth pattern of the plant.
Gardeners are advised to start by removing dead or damaged wood and flowers as well as crossed over or protruding branches.
