<human>:  What is the best way to trim a large hedge?
<bot>: The best way to trim a large hedge is to use a long-handled hedge trimmer. For added safety, be sure to wear protective gloves and eye protection. Additionally, make sure to trim systematically, starting from the top and working your way down, rather than randomly attacking branches. When trimming, follow the natural shape of the hedge to create a uniform, aesthetically-pleasing look.
