Q.Overgrown Cedar Hedge Trees

Zone V0E 1M0 | Anonymous added on April 1, 2021 | Answered

Hi my name is Leslie, I am wanting to cutoff about 4-6ft off of my cedar tree hedges. They are grossly overgrown. Is there a knack for it or best way. I will be using a zissor lift pulled behind my pick up. I own a powersaw and a gas hedge trimmer, should I use both?

That looks like a job for a professional, and they are near the power line. I don't think those are true cedars. It may be junipers. In either case, they have a dead zone in the center that makes pruning tricky. Here is more:
