Hedges are certainly ready for their first trim and while the old-fashioned shears may be suitable for really small hedges you need a powerful hedge trimmer for anything bigger.
Electrically powered models are fine for hedges of just a few yards but anything bigger needs a stronger petrol hedge trimmer that can cope with thicker stems and without a trailing cable.
Lawnflite petrol hedge trimmer
We have been lucky to secure what we believe to be an unbeatable deal on a really heavy duty machine, the Lawnflite E2221W Professional Petrol Hedgetrimmer on a limited special offer.
It has a Robin 25 cc engine, one of the best available, and 56 cm double reciprocating blades to give a clean cut and leave the hedges looking spruce.
And yet for a machine so powerful, it is remarkably lightweight, 4.98 kg, an important consideration if you have a long run of hedges to cut.
Normally you would expect to pay the manufacturer’s recommended price of £379 for this cutter, but we have it for just £219, and that’s a massive £160 off.
There is a two-year maker’s warranty and it comes with free delivery.
The work in the garden at this time of the year never seems to be done and the lawns need cutting at least once a week so keep an eye on our web pages which contain an unbeatable largest selection of lawnmowers online.
(Updated June 2018 – This hedgetrimmer and its Robin engine are no longer available. However, you can see a great selection of equally powerful and great value petrol hedgetrimmers here. )
