Our front and back yards desperately need trimming:
Our Front Porch
Our Back Yard
I’ve been using the old-fashioned method, and it’s just not that effective. So, I bought a new hedge trimmer! Here’s me Before, and me Now:
I’m so excited! Here’s a bush I trimmed yesterday, Before and After:
I love this tool! The neighbor’s poodle needs trimming, and I offered to help. Here’s their poodle Before and After I get done trimming it:

You are indeed a master of the clipper, sir. Now the trick will be to keep any of that from growing back again!

Yep! That skeletal-looking hedge will be overflowing onto the sidewalk by next year.

Great work, Mitch! However, your hedge’s branches are way too thick. Have you ever considered cutting everything down to around half a foot tall? I restarted my hedge (elm) and wound up with much thinner branches and thicker, top to bottom foliage.

Sort of. I did a more modest version of what you’re suggesting–hedge-trimmed as far as I could, then used heavy loppers to cut back the main branches. It should be a couple of years before I need to do it again, or pull it out and plant something smaller. Thanks for the experienced-based input!

Could you please put your trimming talents to work on the invasive vines overtaking the native foliage in Mount Airy Forest and elsewhere?!

Life is better with power tools. I’d ask you to come over and trim the hedges in my yard, but I don’t have any hedges. I am planning on planting some hedges. Maybe in 10 years you could stop by and help with the overgrown whatever I plant …

word of advice: choose your jobs based on not having the tool. That way you’ll have lots and lots of tools.
