Garden Hedge Does More Than Just Maintain Privacy Of Your Garden
A garden hedge helps to maintain privacy and to also demarcate areas and it is also very useful in preventing strays and other unwanted animals from entering the garden. However, it must be said that most people have one just so that it can be used to provide a way to prevent others from peeking into your garden and to act as a backdrop for the other plants being grown in the garden. In fact, to ensure that your aims are met, you could also think about having a special garden hedge with which to heighten the overall effect of your garden.
Fencing And Hedges Combined
However, if your garden is small in size, you would be better off with a garden hedge that is known as a fedge and which combines fencing with the hedges and which includes simple things such as trellis that has plants that grow through it. Some of these trellises can even be bought for instant hedging such as when ivy is grown densely on the panels of the trellis inside troughs and these are then easily installed near a paving and which only require adequate amount of watering to grow properly and provide lasting effect.
You can also make your garden hedge form a narrow kind of screen by using bamboos though for such a hedge you also need to ensure that the roots are restricted from spreading beyond their immediate area.
It is also possible to create your garden hedge to suit a special purpose and so, it will pay for you to first of all check out different plant varieties that grow well in the kind of weather conditions you experience in your locality. Some weather conditions will permit growth of Berberis Darwinii, or Cotoneaster or Eleagnus because they grow well in soil that contains a lot of salt and which can also cope with high winds.
In case your garden is situated where the winds blow high and hard, you would do well to stake your plants and also place them where they are protected from the high winds.
To be sure, when it comes to planting a garden hedge you may expect to find many different kinds of plants which will suit different purposes and so, it is important that you get your choice right because in case you make a wrong one, you will then end up spending years in trying to put things right once more.
Also, once you have created your garden hedge, you will then need to maintain it and also ensure that you regularly trim your hedges so that the overall effect is pleasing and which will give you an added sense of pleasure as well.
