When precision and balance matter most, the Burgon & Ball RHS Topiary Hedge Shears rise to the task. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, these professional-quality shears are designed to deliver clean, accurate cuts for shaping topiary, box, and ornamental hedges.
Weighing only 750 grams, they combine strength and agility in one beautifully engineered tool. The lightweight aluminium alloy handles reduce fatigue, allowing you to work comfortably for longer without sacrificing control. The slight angle between the blades and handles makes it easy to trim flat hedge surfaces while maintaining natural posture — a small but crucial detail that reflects Burgon & Ball’s understanding of real-world gardening.
The 18cm high-carbon steel blades are finely ground to a razor edge, offering precision that’s essential for shaping topiary or defining crisp hedge lines. They glide smoothly through dense foliage and young stems, cutting cleanly to encourage healthy regrowth. Cushion stops at the base of the handles absorb shock and reduce jarring, keeping your wrists and arms comfortable during longer trimming sessions.
The handles are finished with racing green rubber grips that not only provide a nod to British heritage but also deliver excellent comfort and non-slip security. The overall balance of the shears feels natural and responsive, ensuring every cut lands exactly where intended.
Designed by Burgon & Ball — Sheffield toolmakers since 1730 — and officially endorsed by the RHS, these shears embody a perfect mix of heritage craftsmanship and modern performance. Whether you’re refining an intricate box ball or tackling large-scale hedge trimming, they offer the control, lightness, and sharpness that make topiary work a joy rather than a chore.
Built to last and engineered for precision, they’re the kind of tool you’ll rely on for years — elegant, efficient, and unmistakably Burgon & Ball.
