Hedge or fence?

What types of ground cover are available?
Formal Hedge Example
First you need to decide whether to create a formal or informal hedge - A formal coverage is that it is perfectly pruned
once a year all gardeners, but many choose not to prune meet twice a year, once in the spring and then again in mid-summer to keep it looking clean and tidy coverage throughout the year. A formal hedge is basically one that can be left to grow wild and can include many varieties of ground cover and usually requires less maintenance, and only needs to be pruned, if you want to control the height.
Example of informal coverage
You also need to decide whether to create an evergreen hedge is that keeps its leaves during the winter or a deciduous hedge which is otherwise the drops its leaves during winter. The advantage of an evergreen hedge is that it is almost impossible for all the ways to see through, regardless of the season, but there is often much choice if you are willing to consider a deciduous hedge.

Hedge or fence?

my rule, where bets are concerned i hedge, if stolen property is concerned i fence

The hedge is really starting to fill in. It’s almost to the top of the pillars.

I got nothin. Cept that some viburna really stink, almost as bad as ginko berries.

Sorta chemical rot smell.

We have a viburnum cottlei(?) and it smells like honey every spring and it produces berries for our winter birdies.

Oh wow, that stuff grows fast. Looks just marvelous, jcboy!

I love to alternate some bushes like burning bush mixed with something else

farmer, but when you want a hedge, isn't a uniform line better than having different bushes that grow at a different pace ?

Thats why we invented the CHAIN SAW.

Oh you Americans!

Thanks Jane. I trimmed it a couple of times just so it would spread out, and it did.

I put this arbor in the backyard and planted jasmine on both sides. It’s growing like crazy.

very neat. I like the look. Whenever I was down in the lower Fla area , I was always hit with the neat smells of plants and flowers. Up here we have just a couple times in the spring and early summer and then all the smells go away

I had to go to Home Depot to purchase some insect killer. The hedge I planted was covered with whiteflies this morning.

Be careful about the products you buy - hopefully everything was non-toxic for the dogs, tortoises and kid.

You can treat a lot of bugs (including whitefly) with remedies you make at home.

Really I didn’t know that.

The hedge is in the front so the dogs are never out there and we never let Antonio play in the front, but I will have to look up taking care of whiteflies. They just appeared out of nowhere, and quickly!

The hedge I planted really took off and has filled in nicely. The front yard is very private. And soon we will be moving!
