clipped hedges
Shaped garden borders
Clipped hedges are shrubs or bushes that have been trimmed into a neat, formal shape.
The phrase appears most often in descriptions of manicured gardens and landscapes: The estate featured clipped hedges lining the gravel path.
Clipping keeps hedges dense and uniform, distinguishing them from natural, free-growing shrubs.
