Project complete! It was hard work getting to the point of planting but this last stage was actually the easiest bit.

Would love to see an update on the hedge to see the growth rate.

[@annesakoane8337]

Seconded

[@AudiC6V10]

Yesss

[@MrLauren23]

You work so hard on every project you do, I always watch something of yours when I'm feeling to tired to do any work on my own house and you always inspire to get on with something.

[@KoldKillaC]

When did Bill Bur start doing hedgerow diy videos?

[@James_Fisher]

Great stuff! We've been making a few changes to our front garden and were considering putting a hedge along the wall. However, as the wall is about 4ft high it would take many years before the hedge was tall enough to provide any form of privacy. It didn't even cross my mind to look at buying a well established hedge, which (although may cost more) would saves us many years of waiting! Time to start Googling! Thanks again, James & Monica

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Thanks guys. Yeah they have worked really well and although our wall is shorter than yours, I just couldn't bear waiting 4-5 years. For once my impatience has paid off! Looking forward to seeing how to bushes out over the summer. Good luck hedge hunting!

[@pjroberts2010]

Where did you buy them from? From my search, I'm finding these laurels are more expensive than fencing. E.g. the cheapest I found was on eBay 4-5ft £43 per plant, excluding delivery.

[@jamesb8854]

Wasn't going to leave a comment but knew Id watched one of your videos before! DIY 12V electrics! Keep up the good work!

[@harrycoffeynield6941]

Was looking for a UK video. As soon as I saw the white transit I knew this was the one! Good video.

[@nannem9716]

WOW! Such a lot of work and such a great result! How lucky your partner is to have someone as hands on as you who can tackle and see this project through. Very impressive job. Looks beautiful!

[@fatmansbellybutton]

I second that.

[@kaia41]

Amazing Job. Love the way you choose the laurel speciemen shown on a earlier vid. Great insight on plants and where to use them best. As for the road. Best decision ever, to put a hedge there. Soft lush greenery against pollutet air, noise reduction and finally something for bees in terms of laurel. (Excuse my humble english, I'm native german) I'm following your channel for quite some time now and I'm totally impressed. Keep up the good work!

[@thegiftlady1]

Lucky man. Great find! And I watched the road just DISAPPEAR. WOW! Well done mate. Wishing you lush spring growth.🌿

[@CADstruction]

I'm doing the same at the moment but with little Portuguese laura 1-2 ftl. These plants grow very fast and pretty hardy. I grew one in the garden and clipped it into a tree. It's now 2 metres after 4 yrs. Grown from a 25cm cutting too.

[@karenolson5556]

Now that's a nice Hedge...you are sooo lucky to get then so cheap!!! Great look!

[@cameronjackson8947]

Awesome video 💕 Thank you 😘 huge fan from the UK 💕

[@Sephysogaku]

Love it! I'm planting a 25m Leylandii boundary in about a month. An online nursery wants £350 for 75 x 2-3ft plants, and theyll hit 6ft within a couple of years. Now i've got to make sure I keep them trimmed :)

[@calvingudu9237]

Awesome vid really inspiring. Please can I know where you bought these?

[@davideyt1242]

So six years later, how do your Laurel hedge doing? would you do a follow-up video? I find it interesting, because you have used really mature plants (almost like someone have dug out his established edge and offered it for sale), and from what I have heard, some landscaping experts always say that it is better of for a newly planted hedge to start with "smaller" plants so that they will mature and get to their full size while planted in their "final home" rather than having mature plants which needs a ton of food and water to climate again to a new location.

[@musashah5225]

Thanks for the video. Do you have the suppliers details?

[@dianedunbar1805]

If these hedges were between two houses would the roots destroy their pipes?

[@staceyismine]

Another great job again. Do you remember the ebay seller or the planting nursery you boight them from

[@shivermetimber6738]

Well done looks great, I bet that front hedge helps with noise pollution too

[@AA-cy4rl]

Looks Great, I think you should add Lights around the bottom of the Trees!!! It will Look even more Expensive looking!!!! Great Video

[@PicyPoe]

checking your insta - it took only 3 years for them to grow and for m a nice hedge!

[@nenehtl4903]

Great job! Looks professionally done. Thanks for answering all my questions about instant hedging.

[@davidfairclough673]

I got a similar size Portuguese Laurel hedge did you have any issues with the hedge moving after you planted it? The hedge is tall and the rootball is so small. I don’t want to stake them in case it damages the rootball. Any suggestions?

[@michaelscott7890]

Your video is so relaxing. I loved watching. Great production.

[@jackjill3205]

I think that your daughter's contributioon made all the difference watering the hedges ... cute

[@willdatsun]

good vid, how old would those trees have been when you bought them?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Good questions, maybe 8-9 years at a guess

[@reeva1665]

I could watch your videos all night.

[@BODGE71]

Where did you buy the hedges from?

[@Christine-777]

Gorgeous!! Well done, sir! The entire project was amazing to follow. Thank you for sharing. You've inspired me to encourage my yummy hubby for us to begin a much delayed, back-breaking project. :D

[@Beesweetdannygirl]

Well done looks so nice

[@christinapapageorge2199]

Hi, we planted 52 beautiful 6ft cherry laurel on our boarder in camberley Surrey and someone came and stole all of them.. a little shy to buy the same ones, we looking for cheaper options that people don’t want to steal..

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Oh my word thats terrible. We lived on quite a busy road so I guess theft wasn't much of an option. Hope you have greater success.

[@slashingbison2503]

this was useful, I am getting hedging and looks pretty simple!

[@danesstang9307]

Full grown plants are very expensive. You got lucky

[@supriyabiswas6373]

Very nice instant hedgers. Great result😊

[@nmda9578]

Man, you really lucked out on that pricing! Looks really nice!

[@sanctionbuster]

I'm hoping to put a hedge up in my front garden. I think there are local regs on fences, are there rules on hedges?! That may hinder my plans.

[@sanctionbuster]

Just watched the other vid - cheers. Hedge it definitely is.

[@Taina_Mendez]

What kind of plants are those? 🥰

[@josefclarke2238]

I used to live in larkhill where stonehenge is but people say it's in amesbury when it's closer to larkhill and it's only 8 miles or so to salisbury

[@heathertheginge6291]

Great video and lovely greenery there. How is the hedge looking now that it has been two years out?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Looks great. Filled out lots the first year. So now pretty much solid green and putting on height.

[@alrn1980]

How wide was your trench and what spacing did you use for the trees?

[@nadineschwartz803]

What kind of hedge is this?

Hi Tim, Excellent video, Any details of where you got the hedges from? Thanks

[@7Supernova7]

What were tou typing into ebay to find these? What search paramaters? Thanks,

[@stevenmoran4060]

You can’t even hold a phone when the engine is running which it is as you stated it was defrosting.

[@peggyt1243]

Of course I have heard of Stonehenge but never knew exactly where it was in England. Thanks to your video, I looked it up on google maps. What town do you live in? You got a great deal on the hedge plants. It feels good to make a score like that.

[@lonefoxbushcraft]

There toxic the leaves are they ok on a compost

[@stetsongray1975]

I was tweaking out watching the driving on the left side of the road constantly in fear of a traffic accident. I like the plants though.

[@joseph1807]

You drive on the left in the UK.

[@smith12whu]

Looks lovely! However that was a lot of work for a bush! Keep it up!

[@mrwhompass1986]

Won’t the roots end up cracking and lifting the concrete/ashphalt?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Not from a shrub or hedge like this. Perhaps with trees.

[@Damian-Mucha]

Will it be okay on the side few feet away from house, will the root not cause damage to the wall?

[@rjm5439]

RJM@54 5//25/2019 looks like most of the building across the street from your house are other homes what is that small 1 story building used for

[@MsWatchdog]

wherein Hampshire did you get the hedges.. it looks like somewhere I have been. I live in Southampton so I am curious where you got yours? I want to put a hedge in my garden, so would really appreciate where you got yours from

[@jgrmtnjgrmtn3954]

Catchy headline, "Plant and Instant Hedge"....but before (whenever that was) you get around to finally saying what hedge, I was too bored to continue - save all the angst and such for the rest of the video and get to the frickin' point as soon as the thing starts. Time is important to most of us and you are wasting it on anything and everything other than the name of the hedge plant promised by the 'tease' headline

[@TheRestorationCouple]

How did it tease about the species of the hedge? (The video previous to that episode went in to all that detail). It’s a renovation channel not Gardener’s World! 😉

[@jgrmtnjgrmtn3954]

@@TheRestorationCouple Your video didn't deliver the name of hedge at the beginning and I am not watching another second let alone another video. Video was presented to me on side of KZbin screen while I watched a more helpful cannel.

How amusing! Good luck with the hedge. 👍🙄
