Hedges

There are three common types of hedges: cutting hedges, hedge plants, and ready-made hedges. Each type has its own characteristics and benefits, depending on the intended application. In addition to choosing the type of hedge, you can also select from various plant species, ranging from flowering hedges to hedges for shaded areas.

In the year of planting, it is advised not to trim the hedge. Long branches are best wound into the mesh. If bare spots occur in the hedge, trimming the tops is recommended, as this encourages dormant buds to sprout. After that, it is desirable to trim once or twice a year to maintain a neat, compact hedge. The best months for pruning are April/May and September/October.

Most plant species for the ready-made hedge are evergreen, such as Hedera, hornbeam, and oleaster. Depending on the climate, spindle and jasmine are semi-evergreen and may lose some leaves in harsh winters.

The ready-made hedges can be planted year-round, except during periods of frost. In the summer, more frequent watering will be required if the area remains very dry after planting.

After planting, the ready-made hedge requires care for the first 2 years to establish strong roots. In the first year, regular watering is necessary depending on the season, except in winter. After the first year, it is important to water the hedge during warm, dry periods. Start fertilizing in the spring to stimulate growth.

The height of a hedge depends on the location and the regulations in your municipality. In the Netherlands, the guideline is often that the height of a hedge can typically be up to 2 meters without a permit. For a green hedge as a boundary, the distance from the property line is important. Stricter requirements may apply for hedges along roads or in public spaces. It is always advisable to check with your municipality for the specific rules for your situation.

The Ready-Made Hedge can be used in various ways, such as a green fence with neighbors or to create a boundary around the patio or pool. It can also be used to hide waste bins or bike racks. Additionally, ready-made hedges can be employed for graffiti prevention. Even on a balcony, a ready-made hedge can be installed!
