With so many hedges to choose from and a huge selection, where should you start when looking for a hedge for privacy in your garden?
Firstly, you should decide whether a fast growing hedge is something you’ll be able to maintain. Or if a slow growing hedge will provide you with the level of privacy you want.
Next, would you like your hedge to be evergreen or deciduous? An evergreen hedge will have foliage on it all year round, whereas deciduous hedges lose their leaves in the autumn until spring, which means they’ll be bare and won’t provide you with privacy.
