Dead Hedging Service & Advice

Dead-hedges are alternatives to traditional fencing and panels, and are much kinder to the environment.

A dead hedge offers a natural and cost-effective method of forming boundaries that are living habitats for many creatures.

Cut down CO2 by using garden waste in the garden to create biodiverse habitats that also act as screens for privacy and security.

Dead hedges help to build up soil health by providing all the ingredients that boost plant growth and wildlife. As older materials break down, they attract a wide range of insects and invertebrates. In turn these provide food for small mammals, amphibians, birds and bats.

Dead Hedges are Wildlife Havens

Watch as wrens disappear into openings to nest inside, or robins flit about, exploring the hedge for tasty snacks. Mice chase in and out of the hedge. Hedgehogs build nests to overwinter amongst the tunnels and create safe spots to get away from predators.

Dead hedges can be added to constantly with all kinds of leaves, pruned branches and stems to create an ever-changing look.

Dead-hedging over time creates a bank system in which to plant live hedging or shrubs, in areas of low fertility or shallow soil.
