Heady Heights

I feel for Ray, today, Meadowland.I do gardening for people as well.I must say that although I went out and did one job today, it was so cold(chill wind) that I cried off after one? I have a couple of conifer hedges that I do.Try to do them this time of year or early autumn b4/after birds nest.I bet you get a lovely lot of birds nesting in that!
there's one on our front garden boundary, about 25/30 ft long and that is full of nests each year!!
It's actually in neighbour's gardn and they used to get it done once ever 3 or 4 years but they'd have it done in mid summer when birds nesting.
so, I now do it twice a year to keep it down but b4 it becomes too big a job!!

Wow that's a big job for a chilly day! Bet it will look fab though when he's finished!

huge job and defernatly worth his weight in gold, looks lovely to. i use to go gardening with my grandad and cut many hedges with him and he was so tidy and had to be perfect :o))

He's good to be able to do that every year. I hope he will be able to carry on for a long time.

Wow I love them but they do get monsterous

That's some job! You generally find that these older folk (I mean no offence - I'm not really that far away myself) are made of hardy stuff and wouldn't know what to do if they had to give up!
I have an older man who comes in to trim my hedge, it's no where near the size of this - more often than not he will not take any money as I always send him away with a few bits and bobs I have growing in pots - but I do insist and tell him that if he doesn't take it I won't have him back!
We also have an old builder (73) who we call on regularly to do odd jobs - he has been going to retire since 1999, when I first hired him to build an extention! In fact, only today he was up on a neighbours roof doing some work!

A beautiful hedge, so well looked after, not a job for the faint hearted though....

That is some huge hedge M. and what a hero Ray is.
