The Hedge Man

Garden Services

At The Hedge Man, we understand that a truly magnificent garden is built upon a foundation of deep understanding and meticulous care.

Maintaining healthy and attractive hedges is essential for enhancing the beauty and privacy of your garden. Our expert services focus on providing comprehensive care for screening plants, ensuring they thrive in their environment. 

Choosing the Right Hedge 

Selecting the appropriate hedge variety is crucial for successful growth and maintenance. Factors to consider include:

  • Climate Suitability: Different species perform better in various climates. For instance, some varieties, like Photinia, may struggle in humid conditions, while others, like Japanese Box, tolerate heat better.
  • Desired Height and DensityDetermine the height and density you want for your hedge, as this will influence maintenance requirements and the overall aesthetic of your garden.

Planting Hedges

Proper planting techniques are vital for establishing a healthy hedge:

  • Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with organic matter. This helps prevent waterlogging and promotes root health.
  • Spacing: Space plants according to their mature width, typically about half their width apart, to encourage dense growth.
  • Watering: Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Newly planted hedges require regular watering, especially during dry spells.
  • Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Ongoing Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for keeping hedges healthy and attractive:

  • Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain shape and density. It is advisable to remove only small amounts of growth (around 5 cm) during each trim. This approach promotes a healthier hedge compared to heavy pruning, which can stress the plant and require more frequent maintenance. When pruning, ensure the base of the hedge is wider than the top. This technique allows lower branches to receive adequate sunlight, promoting even growth and preventing bare patches.
  • Fertilising: Apply fertiliser during the growing season, typically in Spring and Autumn, to support healthy growth.
  • Watering: Continue to monitor moisture levels, especially during dry periods. A drip irrigation system can simplify this process.
  • Seasonal Reductions:  The ideal time for significant changes to a hedge size or shape are generally late Winter or early Spring before new growth begins, and late summer or early autumn after plants have entered dormancy. This timing allows hedges to recover and maximise growth potential after trimming.

 
The frequency of hedge pruning largely depends on the type of hedge and its growth rate as impacted by climactic conditions, soil composition and the frequency of watering and nutrient levels. 

Repairing Damaged Hedges

Hedges can suffer from damage due to harsh weather or pests. Our expert services include:

  • Assessment: Regularly inspect hedges for signs of damage, such as broken branches or disease.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged or dead branches promptly to prevent further decline.
  • Structural Support: For weakened hedges, we may recommend structural pruning or additional support to restore health.
  • Consultation: If extensive repairs are needed, our team can provide professional advice tailored to your specific situation.

Roses require special gardening care due to their unique needs for sunlight, soil quality, watering, and maintenance practices.

Sunlight Requirements:  Roses thrive in sunny locations, needing at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. Insufficient sunlight can lead to weak growth and fewer blooms. Therefore, selecting the right planting spot is crucial for their health and flowering potential.

Soil Quality: Roses prefer well-draining soil with a pH around 6.5. Poor soil conditions can restrict nutrient access, affecting the plant’s overall health. To enhance soil quality, it’s recommended to incorporate organic matter, such as compost, before planting. This preparation helps create a nutrient-rich environment that supports robust growth.

Watering Practices: Proper hydration is vital for roses. They require deep watering to encourage strong root development, especially when young. The soil should be kept slightly moist but not soggy, as rose roots need air to thrive. Watering should be done early in the day to prevent diseases that thrive in damp conditions.

Fertilising: Roses are considered “hungry” plants and benefit from regular feeding with fertilizers specifically formulated for them. These fertilisers typically have a higher phosphorus content, which promotes root health and flowering. It’s essential to wait until the buds start to show colour before fertilising newly planted roses to avoid shock.

Pruning and Maintenance: Roses require delicate and precise pruning to flourish and maintain shape, promote new growth, and remove dead or diseased wood. Major pruning should occur in early spring, while light summer pruning can help rejuvenate plants and encourage additional blooms. Deadheading spent flowers is also crucial to redirect energy towards new growth rather than seed production.

Our team understands the unique needs of roses whether they are rambling, climbing, standards or bushes and we apply specialised techniques to encourage blooming and to maintain plant health. Trust The Hedge Man to nurture your roses, helping you to transform your garden into a stunning display of colour and fragrance.

We specialise in maintenance, repair and seasonal checking on irrigation systems ensuring optimal growth while conserving water and reducing labour.

Maintenance and repair of the following irrigation systems:

Drip Irrigation: This system delivers water slowly and directly to the plant roots through a network of tubing and emitters. It is ideal for gardens with diverse plant types, as it allows for precise watering.

Soaker Hoses: These porous hoses release water along their length, providing a gentle and even moisture to the soil. They are particularly effective for raised beds and can be placed under mulch for enhanced efficiency.

Automatic Sprinklers: For larger areas, automated sprinkler systems can be programmed to water at specific times, ensuring that plants receive consistent moisture without manual intervention. These systems can be adjusted based on weather conditions to optimise water use.

Water is crucial for photosynthesis and helps maintain plant structure. It is absorbed by the roots and is vital for transporting nutrients throughout the plant. Clients frequently don’t appreciate the importance of ensuring the correct amount of water, at the correct time of day is for each individual type of plant. Both insufficient and excessive watering can harm plants, leading to wilting, browning, root rot and even attract pests and diseases.

Manual watering applies water to the top layer of soil (remembering that the water isn’t absorbed by the foliage). 

Advanced irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation and soaker hoses, deliver water directly to the roots of plants. This method minimises evaporation and runoff, making it a more water-efficient option compared to traditional overhead sprinklers.

Understanding that most clients live busy lives and don’t have the free time to manually hand water each plant according to its individual needs, we have all embraced the use of irrigation systems ranging from the more basic style of hoses and sprinklers attached to mechanical timers right through to zoned, fully automated Wi-Fi enabled systems controlled by an App on the client’s mobile. 

The Hedge Man are happy to assist with your irrigation related queries, whether it be maintaining your current set up, advice on a new advanced system, testing, small repairs and seasonal check-ups. Contact our team today on how we can help you with your irrigation needs.
