Even though the bulk of the winter work is laying hedges for farmers I’m seeing an increased interest in people wanting their garden hedges laid, a very enjoyable job done this morning for a lovely local couple, hedge laid instead of replaced with fence panels massively increasing the wildlife habitat for them to enjoy with their young family with the added bonus of the younger members of the family being able to see the cows all summer 🐄🐄

Little garden hedge laid last couple of days hedge trimmed finish and rubbish heaped up for burning is not usually done but was customers request on this job and as it’s across the front of the garden was no problem from 14’ to 3’ frames the front of the property beautifully would of been a pleasure if it had not been about minus 8 🥶😆
