Well I gather you realised I'm not really THAT street proud, lol...
But was clearing up after trimming our hedges...
From this....
to this....
We usually give them a trim in August, with their main cut at Easter, but this year I was a little cheesed off as had a letter from the street firm who work for the council. Saying that
if I didn't cut them back to the boundary wall within 28 days, they would take legal action to have the trees cut and send the bill to us!!!!!!
Well after doing a little research and missing him about 8 times, he eventually phoned me back just before 8 in the morning, great, just as was trying to sort Steven out.
But I stuck to my guns, saying I always trim them in August, but it had to be when my husband is home to hold the ladder.
And there was
noway I would be cutting them back to the boundary wall, as when they get over the shock of the cut and start budding again, the frost will be here and kill them. So I would trim them as usual and then next year, will cut them back a bit further.
And guess what I actually got a apology from the man and he said he had inherited the letter from the council and yes it was
harshly worded and me trimming them will be fine, as they weren't as bad as some down our street, lol...
So the trees had their normal and the street had it's normal clean, lol.
