Living fences are not only adorned, they are also a functional complement that defines space or provides a barrier against curious views from outside. Nowadays, we are much more creative about the choice of hedge plants. Live fences can be evergreen, coniferous, colorful, blooming, everybody can find their favorite species. However, a nice hedge is the only one that is adequately maintained, such as it stands out in any place.
 

 

Which plants to choose

 
 
Deciduous hedges can be planted from hornbeam, potato, hawthorn, bird's eye. Flowering hedges can be sown from large roses, calyx, tavolnik, racquet, golden rain or aronia. Conifers suitable for hedges are yew, yew and cypresses, but also spruce.
 

Where we allow him to grow there

 
 
For a hedge, we expect to adjust its height and width during growth by appropriate trimming. It is good to know before planting a kind of how high a hedge can be obtained from the plant. Regular plant spraying, then aids in the density and healthy appearance of the hedge.
 

Hedgecutter Tools

 
 
Depending on the length, height and width of the hedge, we select appropriate gardening tools. Initially, we can deal with common gardening scissors, but whoever has already tried gasoline or electric scissors will no longer want another. These scissors are also called hedge trimmers.
 

Hedge trimming

 
 
Cut the hedge with scissors first vertically and then horizontally. Suitable scissors are selected according to the size of the surface. Larger hedgerows are suitable for gas fences, and for the smaller ones we are able to carry an electric hedge trimmer. However, here we have limitations on the electrical cable. A good alternative is the battery hedge trimmers that you just need to charge and we have a totally mobile hedge trimmer.
