Refinement of the plot is interesting, but not easy and troublesome. In order for the vegetation to please the eye, it must be constantly looked after, not only watered, fed, planted, but also cropped. Especially it swings perennial plants, shrubs, hedges. For cropping, some use ordinary kitchen scissors. But if you are planning to seriously engage in landscape design, you will have to attend to and purchase special equipment, in particular, and garden shears.
Garden scissors are the most diverse and understand their models and types of novice is not so simple. In order to facilitate the task, let us recall how the garden shears are also called the secateurs. The design and appearance of the scissors depends on their purpose. Consider the main types of these garden adaptations.
Scissors for garden
Among the garden shears, intended for shaping bushes and trees, as well as for trimming hedges, distinguish:
- garden shears. These include scissors themselves, as well as all sorts of pruners and cutters - garden scissors on a long handle. Garden hand scissors are used for cutting and trimming small areas of plants and shrubs. Outwardly they resemble ordinary scissors, which we used to use for paper or fabrics, but, of course, with the difference that the blades on them are much larger and sharp. They easily cut branches, young shoots, foliage and even needles. For cutting of needles, pruners with notches and notches are used, which allow to hold the needles and not let it slip;
- electric garden shears will greatly facilitate the work. Very convenient for cutting and trimming hedges and other large plantations of shrubs. Convenient to use and rechargeable garden shears - the same electrical, but with autonomous power. The battery makes the device more mobile and allows not to depend on the network, but with it the scissors become heavier by 1-1.5 kg;
- garden scissors gasoline - according to the principle of work are similar to electric, only much more powerful and heavy.
Grass shears for grass
Of course, grass on the garden can be cut grass lawn mower. However, the experienced know that to achieve the ideal result - that the lawn looked in the best traditions of pastoral landscapes from American films, it is thus impossible. In order to complete the picture, you need to work with another tool - scissors for grass.
The principle of work distinguishes:
- garden shears manual (mechanical) for grass - are usual, traditional, the blades of which are simply opened and closed with the help of handles, and also rotary - the blades of which can be turned absolutely from any angle, up to 360⁰;
- battery grass scissors - complete with an autonomous power supply. They are certainly much more convenient,
because there is no need to cut the grass manually. In addition, they are more productive, have high cross-country ability and allow cutting even old, hard grass.
If the lawn is a small area, you can do without a mechanical model, which is not cheaper than an electric "colleague", but professionals insist on the need to use both types, depending on the case. Both types make it possible to cut the grass both horizontally and at an angle. This feature allows you to trim the grass around the pillars and along fences and hedges, getting close to them.
