Hedges form an attractive boundary, as well as providing a place for wildlife, especially nesting birds. Autumn is the best time to plant hedge rows. The soil is nice and warm still, not inundated with water and easy to dig.

Here at Ayegardening we can help you decide on the type of hedge for your requirements and to suit the soil and situation in the garden- e.g. evergreen, deciduous, flowering etc.
In the photos, you will see the planting of Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Aureum’ (Golden Privet) in place of some Leyandii trees that were burnt in an unfortunate fire.

Hedges can take from 3 to 7 years to reach their desired height. For more of an instant hedge you can buy semi-mature hedging plants, that although are more expensive, will give you an instant screening.

Examples of some hedging types that we plant - box, yew, privet, beech, laurel and hawthorn.

Please contact us if you are planning a new hedge - we can supply 2ft - 5ft hedge plants depending on your specifications and budget.
