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.

Below is a lovely testimonial regarding our hedgelaying work in Feb 2026:

"I would just like to drop you a line to say how impressed me and my wife are with the pleaching job that has been carried out on the Montgomery canal between Williams bridge and Persons bridge. It is nice to see a traditional craft carried out with skill. Also the work site has been cleared immaculately, you can hardly see any sign of the huge amount of work carried out with all off cuts of the work cleared completely. We walk this section of the canal regularly and the work has enhanced our enjoyment no end."
