Hedging & Screening
Hedges and Screens are used in the landscape to create a formal attitude to the garden or landscape and often define lines and spaces.
A hedge or hedgerow is a line of closely spaced shrubs and tree species, planted and trained in such a way as to form a barrier or to mark the boundary of an area. Hedges used to separate a road from adjoining fields or from different properties, and of sufficient age to incorporate larger trees, such as Hornbeam, are known as hedgerows. It is also a simple form of topiary since it is pruned and maintained at a certain height of desire. Also hedges which are lower than three feet are commonly referred to as borders.
A Screen is made in the landscape to deter sound, create privacy, or simply give you the border you require. A screen is often made up of plants which are evergreen or deciduous and will vary in size depending on the shrub or tree.
You can use any type of plant to create a hedge here are a few examples
Griselinia, Privet, Photinia ‘Red Robin’, Bay, Bamboo, Laurel (prunus),Buxus
Something different…………
Camellia, Pittispornum, Euonymus, Saracocca, Nandina Domestica, Viburnum, Berberis
Hedges and screens both result in the same final product: a border for your landscape. It is important to remember how tall a plant grows to, whether you desire more than just foliage for the hedge or screen, growth conditions for the plant, and your reason to create a living wall.
