Cutting a tall hedge from a ladder involves working at height while also operating cutting equipment, which is a genuinely risky combination.
Why it's risky
- Uneven or soft ground can affect ladder stability
- Reaching sideways from a ladder increases the risk of overbalancing
- Operating tools one-handed while steadying yourself is inherently less safe
This is exactly why proper access equipment matters so much for taller hedges.
