    I've been impressed by the hedgelaying stuff on here, and it's been interesting to hear about as there is little evidence of it locally. The Borders has an abundance of flailed or overgrown hedges, or just rough fences.

     

    This week I've been with a local company who have a young lad from Kent working as a groundie. He is very keen to learn hedgelaying, and said he's being taken on as an apprentice by Scotland's only commercial hedgelayer who is based in the Borders doing blacksmith work, but travels the country plying his 'laying' trade.

     

    It's a shame there's not more of it done up here, to me a layed hedge looks so pleasing to the eye and must be the best solution for a boundary as well as nature. Look forward to seeing more on arbtalk.

    Morning Doug, have a look on here , might be of help, of course this only lists contractors or members that want to be listed, of course there are many more.

  6. Another garden hedge done in between not being able to get across fields at the moment, always good to have a couple like this to fall back on. Had been laid before but Dorset/Devon style low to the ground, compared to its new look South of England styleIMG_0281.thumb.JPG.fdcd9834611dd0a65ecae148f7762f1a.JPGIMG_0285.thumb.JPG.013055d1ebd521320878308371a67b95.JPGIMG_0282.thumb.JPG.f9f54d964aa2b66ba58c1870670f9ed4.JPGIMG_0286.thumb.JPG.b78c9f577901f934adad710688f8d34e.JPG
