We have a hawthorn hedge at the end of the back garden and the back faces into some common land and it's a bit of a walk around the estate to get to the back to cut it and is generally a bit of a pain.
It's grown quite wide over the years but I have kept the height down to around 6 foot and from my step ladder I can cut up to about halfway across it.
Would a long reach trimmer enable me to cut the whole top from the garden side? Anyone got any experience of these? any good?

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I've thought about cutting in back from behind to make it thinner but the problem is that it's 2 bushes thick and they have very thick trunks, we quite like the width as in winter is gives a bit more privacy than a single plant hedge, plus it's not our hedge by rights it's the inland drainage board's. Our boundary is up to the hedge.
They come along every now and then and will flail the top with a JCB machine but it's not a neat job when they do, they make a hell of a mess so we manage it ourselves.
