<human>:  What is the best way to trim a hedge?
<bot>: The best way to trim a hedge is to start by using manual hand shears. Begin at one end of the hedge, cutting away any extra branches or foliage until you achieve a desired shape. Once the shape is achieved, use electric hedge shears or clippers to give the hedge a clean, crisp edge all around. Trim the hedge gradually, cutting away small amounts of foliage at a time so you won't take off too much at once.
