  1. I think if I do it I will use a digger to help so i can take bigger sections and orig soil. See that line on the ground in front of the retaining wall, thats where the new wall is being built so the hedge will be just behind it, roughly 2m. Its so to get a bigger terrace area. The growth rate of a new hedge concerns me more than anything hence why I want to move the original one if I can. My LGC told me that they hate being moved, is that true?
  2. Thanks hedge sparrow, how long does it take a new box hedge to establish itself? Pic here >>>>
  3. Upload failed failed twice, will try again later from wifi, ta
  4. Thanks hedge sparrow, I've attached a pic that might help, the terrace area next to the house is being extended out, that retaining wall is coming down and being rebuilt, when that wall is down it will expose an entire side of earth where the hedge roots are, I could make vertical cuts through the branches to the ground surface then what I imagined there was something that could excavate under the roots and lift out each section and drop it in its new location, sounds like a big job and prob expensive compared to starting again but quite like a project. So would my plan work?
  5. How easy/difficult is it to move a 30m length to a new location? It looks old and keen to keep it rather than start again. Any advice on moving them and best technique, any plant/machinery out there that would help? Ta
  6. Morning all is this a variety of privet or something else? thanks
