Hand Powered: Traditional Land Based Skills
Hedge laying
Hedge laying is the process of partly cutting through woody material and laying it over to form an interlocked living structure that is not only stock proof but also immensely beautiful and valuable for wildlife when finished. These living barriers get stronger as they regenerate and grow, providing an amazing array of niches for wildlife, shelter and browse for livestock and a true sense of positive land husbandry.
We are happy to lay a variety of hedge styles to suit the customer and region. Please contact us for more details.
