Battery Hedge Trimmers

A Battery Hedge Trimmer gives you the freedom to cut, shape and maintain hedges without cables, fuel or constant setup. Designed for everyday garden maintenance, these cordless tools are ideal for homeowners who want a quieter, lighter and more convenient way to keep hedges under control.

Our range focuses on reliable Makita 18V hedge trimmers, offering a balance of cutting performance, runtime and ease of use - perfect for regular trimming, tidy-ups and seasonal maintenance without the hassle of petrol tools.

Why choose Battery powered hedge trimmers for garden maintenance

Battery powered hedge trimmers are built for convenience. With no pull starts, no emissions and no extension leads to worry about, they’re ideal for quick jobs and regular upkeep. Modern lithium-ion batteries deliver consistent power, meaning clean cuts through light to medium growth while keeping vibration and noise low.

For most residential gardens, a cordless model offers more than enough performance while being easier to store, transport and maintain than petrol alternatives.

Are Battery hedge trimmers powerful enough for everyday use?

Today’s battery hedge trimmers are far more capable than many people expect. An 18V cordless hedge trimmer is well suited to trimming box hedges, privet, laurel and general garden shrubs. They excel at precision cutting and repeated use without fatigue, especially when paired with sharp blades and a quality battery platform like Makita LXT.

For thicker, woody growth, slower cutting passes work best - but for routine garden work, battery models handle the job comfortably
