About Hedgelaying
Learn how to bring new life to an established hedge, ensuring its future as both a boundary and a valuable habitat.Hedgelaying is a task undertaken approximately every 10 years. A well laid hedge not only looks good but helps to encourage new growth and provides an important habitat for a wealth of small birds, mammals and insects. Using a combination of traditional hand tools and teamwork we’ll end up with a lovely hedge and a great sense of satisfaction. No previous experience necessary, just a good level of fitness and a willingness to learn new skills.
