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 finished, layed hedge from the lane side.

- Neat and tidy wee fire.
