Hedge Uses:- |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use as Screen:- Beech Hedge behind low wall as Screen of Garden from Drive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use to create Parterre Edge:- Common Box used to create a parterre as a formal element with the soldier layout of the bricks in the path to create a formal style garden |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use as Stock Boundary:- Common Hawthorn hedge in North Yorkshire in June which has been used to form a stock boundary to a field. The best hedge plant since it is easily raised from seed, transplants well when young and stands any amount of close clipping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use as Thorny Barrier:- The Common Holly leaves provide an excellent thorny barrier against stock and human intruders. Common Holly Hedge is the finest native evergreen hedge plant. Used here as a stock barrier for a field next to a road from Bedgebury in Kent during June. The grass verge reduces the waste products from the road being splashed onto the hedge during the rain. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use as Security Barrier:- Security Hedge as the Boundary to the road. Chain-link Fencing used to prevent people or animals walking through the hedge as a security measure. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use as Informal Boundary:- Informal Honeysuckle hedge in July next to the boundary fence in a back garden. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use as Windbreak:- Leyland Cypress hedge in May used as a wind break for the valley below. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use to divide garden into sections as Formal Edge of Garden Areas:- Yew Hedges with yearly clipping can remain in good health for over 200 years. They also do well on calcareous soils, and because of its poisonous properties to stock it is used for interior hedges like the ones alongside to split up the garden. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Save time on growing by using already grown hedge sections as Garden Security Screens:- Ivy (Hedera hibernica) Green Screen Hedge from Mobilane in a garden installed in May 2005 |

Practicality Brown Ltd, Iver Stud Nursery, Iver, Bicks. SL0 9LA
Practicality Brown Limited have been supplying and planting UK grown Elveden instant hedge in the UK since 2002 and as a guide to help you maintain your hedge, we have produced the following information based on our experiences. IRRIGATION - The amount of water available to your hedge roots depends on the water retention capacity of the soil (e.g. sandy, or clay soil) and cannot be exactly planned. It is important that you observe the hedge foliage for signs of drought so that your watering regime can be adjusted as necessary. External signs of drought are that the foliage wilts and sometimes rolls or turns. Please note that it is also easy to over water your hedge and if you notice leaves turning yellow or unseasonal leaf drop then it is likely to be over watered in which case immediate action should be taken to cut back on watering. If the surface looks dry but you have symptoms of over watering then you need to check the moisture content 300 - 400mm below ground level by digging a small hole beside the hedge rootstrip. The following table shows you the necessary amount of water required per linear metre per week by a newly planted Elveden instant hedge. This should be continued until the hedge has established, which is usually 24 months after planting. Watering can then be reduced as required by the hedge.
Please note that this is a guide only and your observation of the hedge is most important. FEEDING. We advise that you feed your Elveden instant hedge annually with a quality nutrient blend fertiliser and the best application time for this is early spring although any time of the year is beneficial. Our own 20-20-10 Top dress blend which is an 8 month fully coated controlled release fertiliser with a balanced analysis and an increased trace element package is suitable for all year round use on Elveden instant hedge."
