You know that, the hedge will need constant maintenance to keep its shape and to not look overgrown. Therefore, purchase a good quality of pruning shears, or hedge trimmers from your local home and garden store, GardenMore. However, try not to pick plants that flower, as constant pruning will keep them from flowering.
Keep in mind one point that, the bigger the leaves that you have, the neater your hedge will look in appearance.
Cut from the bottom of the hedge upwards, using the lower section of the shears, not the tip (that is what causes dig-in, or a pockmarked finish on the hedge). The tip is generally used later on in the cutting or on topiary.
With a powered piece of kit you can take out a big chunk very quickly, whereas it's a lot of effort to do that by hand. To find more garden power tools, view here, http://www.gardenmore.co.uk/garden-power-tools.html, you can find garden items you may need including electric chainsaws, leaf vaccum, garden trimmer, and so on. Especially when your hedge's big, tall, then maybe you need an electric hedge trimmers with an articulated head.
Here, there's a hedge recommendation for you. Straight lines, the sides and the tops have to be straight. It's done by eye here, although one of our staff likes to put up a string line, and that's a good idea. If you have the time, you can cut it by hand in stages. And you'll get a much better cut. In addition, it's rather traditional and romantic to cut by hand.
