Cutting Hedge

About Cutting Hedge

Toward sundown the east face of Chinese Peak goes rose above Pocatello, and for a few minutes every straight line in a yard — the hedge face, the turf edge, the shadow of the fence — stands out like it was drawn. Cutting Hedge chases those lines all season: lawns mowed to an even plane, borders trimmed flush, edges cut back so the grass stops where the concrete starts. Shaping is the fun of it, but the discipline is repetition, coming back on rotation so nothing ever has to be rescued. Between June and September a Portneuf Valley lawn can put on more growth than people expect, and by late autumn the same yards want leaves cleared and one last short cut. Geometry holds up better than good intentions, and a yard cut to it looks right from every angle.
