The Benefits Of Hedges Around Your Property
If you are thinking about having a fence around your property, think about putting up a hedge. This is due to the several benefits of hedges. The best time to plant a hedge is as soon as you move in to your property, before you know it, the plants and trees will be established. Here are some top reasons why having hedges is a good idea.
It is not very expensive to plant a hedge. This is because the cost of buying the small plants varies, so you can buy something that you can afford. There are also many varieties of plants, so you can easily choose from the many options that are available. This makes the cost of the fence so much cheaper than other types of fences.
You can handle it as a do it yourself project. You do not have to employ someone else to do it for you, since all you have to do is to plant the plants around your property. This will save you the cost and hassle of hiring a professional to do it for you. This can give you great satisfaction, knowing that you are the one who set up the live fence around your property. It can also make for a great DIY project for your family.
If it is well maintained, it will generally look good and smell good. This will increase the aesthetic appeal of your house and help to increase the property value if you are planning to sell the property. Also, a hedge will blend in well with the rest of your landscape design and the fact that it is natural is a plus.
If you love nature and animals, then this will be a great way to attract them. Birds can nest on the plants and other insects, such as butterflies, will frequently visit your compound. If you are in a rural area or out in the wild and you want to attract some wild animals, you can place some feeders in the hedge. Animals will come to eat and drink from the feeder.
You will enjoy a lot of privacy in your compound, as you can keep out unwanted gazes from neighbours and people in the streets. Try and make your hedge thick, if you want lots of privacy. You can combine it with some climbers to increase your level of privacy.
You can use short hedges to outline a path in your compound. This will make it easier for guests to know where to walk. This will prevent people from walking on your grass or any other area where you don’t want people to walk. This will ensure that your grass and other plants don’t get ruined.
The plants will act as a windbreaker. This will prevent any plants that you have planted in your garden from getting destroyed by winds which are too strong. This will encourage your plants to grow twice as fast. This is also a great way to reduce your heating bills, as cool winds will be filtered away from the main house.
Steve shared his expertise, experience and guided us through what we needed. All installed as promised by the team, and the 1 little thing that got missed was fixed the very next day...which is often when you realise someone is true to their word. Now to watch it grow!
Went to World of Hedges to buy a hedge for my front garden and I couldn't fault the guy who served me. Very enthusiastic and passionate about his job. I asked him what hedge would not lose their leaves, be low and easy to maintain, good for wildlife and would be able to grow round my existing plants? He gave me a few options taking me to have a look at each type. When I decided which one to choose I asked him how many he thought I needed and how to plant and look after them. As I noted this down, I couldn't write fast enough he was that passionate about the hedge and how to look after them. I think photographs say a thousand words and I am so happy with the choice I made. Very impressed with the service I will definitely be going back there again. Thanks World of Hedges
We wanted mature shrubs for a border at the side of our driveway. We went to World of Hedges and were immediately impressed by the choice and quality of the plants in the nursery. With help from Steve and his team, we selected Pittosporum Elizabeth and Eleagnus. They are now planted and are exactly what we wanted. Steve and his team have been ultra-professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. We are totally delighted with the entire service package.
Amazing customer service from Steve and his team. Nothing was too much trouble. The advice and time spent with us explaining what our options were and suggestions of what would work in our garden was fantastic. Can't recommend them highly enough. The installation team which came out were great, super quick and left everywhere immaculate. Steve's knowledge and guidance was marvellous and so helpful – Top bloke!
Steve and team planted a Griselinia hedge (New Zealand privet) at front of house today, replacing spindly, unattractive Hornbeam supplied by builders. Soil dug out and replaced with good quality topsoil, well built up around plants. Good healthy plants from own nursery. Looks great already! Everyone friendly and knowledgeable. All left tidy. Happy to recommend.
