Hedgerow Management

Hedge laying is the traditional hedgerow management for field and garden hedges. To suit modern requirements and for total privacy, Country Works has developed a hedge laying style that gives the total hedge height of up to 6 foot 6 inches (2 metres).

The hedge laying styles used by Country Works are the 'Sussex Bullock' hedge, for hedges up to 5'6" and the 'Sussex Six-Footer' hedge for hedges up to 6'6". Why hedge laying? The benefits of laying a hedge are numerous. They include:

• Increased privacy.
• Dog-proofing of hedge.
• Stock proofing of a hedge.
• Thickening of a gappy hedge.
• Thinning of a thick hedge.
• Makes maintenance easier.
• Improves look of property.
• Can be deer proof.
• Increases wildlife.
• Ideal for over grown and problem hedges.

Country Works also deal with problem Leylandii, give advice and mediation on nuisance hedges, and the new hedge law.
