37 yards hawthorn, hazel and blackthorn, Shenley Brook End, Milton Keynes
This very overgrown hedge had a public park on one side and plenty of space to spread.
The back hedge was better suited to a Midland hedge and the front hedge to South of England.
The customer had already planted up a privet hedge behind the existing hedge to provide year round screening and this was retained.
