Hedge Laying
I really enjoy laying a hedge!
The example below is a hedge that I layed in the winter of 2011. It is at the end of a paddock and the owners wanted to retain some height to keep their privacy from the lane beyond. For this reason I didn’t lay the hedge flat (in the West Country Style) but layed it over on the slant (more of a Midlands Style) which kept their privacy whilst thickening up the hedge.
- The hedge before laying.
- Brambles, bracken and other undergrowth removed from the hedgeline.
- Starting at the top.
- My trusty lurcher (Oudi) keeping an eye on the proceedings.
- Neat and tidy wee fire.
- Working on down.
