Dear me that's absolutely beautiful. What style is this? From the size of the larger pleachers it's giving me Pembs/Devon style, but it's so upright! Either way it looks like magic. Hats off to you sir.

Many thanks, This is all made/built with the existing hedge that is growing there. If you are going to plant hedge from new, some people plant for nature, things that produce fruit, nuts, flowers etc , others will plant for security anything thorn, holy maybe beech for a screen privacy etc. others just plant natural , what ever is growing in the local surroundings. Please look and check my Instagram page and website .

@G5XW3 ай бұрын
It’s a dead hedge used like a wind break to stop the sands drifting, like in the first 3 scenes you can see brash laid out and covering the dunes again to stop the wind blowing or drifting the sand. There has been a thing in north Devon & Cornwall UK to lay out old Xmas trees in the dunes to stop the sands drifting.. Thank you for watching

@mrsgbee82463 ай бұрын
Very nice. Interesting you lay in each direction. I had to do that because of a bald spot and felt I had done wrong. Most are layered up the hill. I suppose as long as the branches are not lower than the pleach it is OK. Amazing how thick some of the pleaches are. Is there a maximum? I guess not because my Beach is greening up and the break is 6 foot at least wide where it fell in the Winter. 😂
@G5XW3 ай бұрын
Yes 99% of the time all one direction (up hill) on occasion there might be need to lay the "other way" to fill in or cover a gap, but even then you could back lay to fill a gap and then still keep the main pleachers going the same way .

Sorry a very poor answer , BUT it all depends on what there is to start with, how much clearing out is required, size of materials, preP etc etc, old school rule was a chain a day (22yds) or 20m all but an inch or so, if your lucky some days you can double that others even 1/2 it, and of course a very import part of it is PRIDE in your work and time to get it right

Lovely. Blackthorns are lovely but they do have a nasty bite. Great for stock fencing. I wish the Welsh government would start by reinstating the ripped out hedges rather than the 10% woodland. Smashing hedges has ruined the old hedges just leaving the Hazel. I think the Blackthorn has been killed by the slurry or removed as it needs layering. Shame, the old ways were so good for wild life.
