Rent a hedge trimmer from a neighbor near you
Hedges get shaped twice a year. A borrowed trimmer, especially a pole model for tall hedges, is the right tool for a job that short.
What it costs to rent a hedge trimmer
Rental counters typically charge about $20 to $40 a day for a hedge trimmer, plus a damage waiver and tax. On Rentsome, neighbors set their own daily rate, and it is usually lower because they are not running a store. Every booking adds a 15% service fee (minimum $2) and sales tax, both shown before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held on your card, never charged, and released 72 hours after you return it.
A new hedge trimmer runs roughly $70 to $250. At about $30 a day, renting stays cheaper until you have used it around 5 days in total, before counting storage, maintenance and the resale value you never get back.

Renting a hedge trimmer: common questions
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
