Burgon & Ball - Topiary Trimming Shears (Small) – Precision Sheffield Steel Shaping Tool

Burgon & Ball Topiary Trimming Shears (Small) – Precision Sheffield Steel Shaping Tool

The Burgon & Ball Small Topiary Trimming Shears are the compact counterpart to the industry-standard large shears, designed specifically for intricate detailing and smaller-scale shaping. Forged in Sheffield from high-carbon steel, these shears offer the same professional-grade performance in a size that is more manageable for gardeners with smaller hands. The shorter 9.5cm blades provide exceptional control, allowing for the meticulous "finishing" work that defines high-quality topiary and ornamental shrubs.

Best For: Detailed topiary work, precision shaping of small-leaved evergreens, and gardeners who prefer a lighter, more compact tool for surgical trimming.

Key Features

• Compact 9.5cm Precision Blades: The shorter blade profile offers a high degree of maneuverability, making it the ideal choice for fine-detail work and reaching into tight spaces.
• Sheffield Steel Heritage: Constructed from hardened and tempered high-carbon steel, ensuring the razor-sharp edges provide a clean, "scissor" cut that protects plant health.
• Ergonomic for Smaller Hands: With an overall length of 25cm, these shears are balanced to fit comfortably in smaller hands, reducing strain during focused, repetitive trimming tasks.
• Optimal Plant Health: The blades are designed to cut crisply through leaves without crushing the stems, minimizing the risk of "browning" on the cut edges of Buxus and Yew.
• Classic Racing Green Finish: Features the signature Burgon & Ball aesthetic, combining traditional English craftsmanship with modern ergonomic comfort.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
