  This was very informative! &nbsp;<br>I have had to take on the yard care after my husband&apos;s passing. &nbsp;Coming into this knowing absolutely NOTHING, I now feel confident enough to tackle an overgrown 8 foot tall Boxwood. &nbsp; Thank you!

  Laura!!!!! 8” of snow this morning 😂😂😂. I love your boxwoods. The sound of snow blowers was hideous!! 😂. I’m looking forward to pruning anything at this point! Thank you for your video. Continuing to live vicariously through your yard and you in short sleeves 🌸🌸😁

  Thank you so much! This really helped me and my husband to be able to trim our boxwoods good. We used the electric trimmer on it a couple years and it was awful for them. So we let them grow back and grow kind of wild like. Now it’s time to trim. This was great advice on what to look for and how to go about it. Thanks!

  This was so helpful for me, thank you! My husband and I bought a beautiful older home 2 years ago that is absolutely lined with boxwoods, and I have had no idea what I&apos;m doing. I even used electric hedge trimmers last year and had exactly the experience you described (that was literally the only thing I knew [thought I knew!] that you were supposed to do with hedges). I really appreciate all of the explanations and close-ups you showed which other videos I&apos;ve watched have lacked.

  Thank you! &nbsp;We bought a house with hard shaped boxwood and I like them more wild looking like yours...and ours have also encroached on the narrow walk way.

  Hi Laura! I must say… you did a fantastic job with boxwoods. bravo👏🏼. I just take a shear &amp; hack mine off every late winter or early Spring into tiny balls. Mine are displayed in the very front of my garden bed so I have to keep them smaller.
