Hedgelaying pics

[Guest Gimlet]

Off-set double rows are pretty standard practice with mixed native hedge planting to get maximum density of growth without crowding. They're often planted at 18" between plants with 4-5 plants per metre but if the hedge is to be laid I think they want tightening up to 12"  and 5-6 plants so the stems are close enough to be stock proof at the base.

Lovely job !

How long do you estimate before you would need to re-do a hedge after a job like that ? (Just for my education)

Thanks,it all depends on how the customer looks after it,whether they keep it trimmed or let it grow up again in which case about 5/6yrs but would have to cut pleachers out and relay

Thanks I’m really impressed with the work hedge layers do, it’s art really !
