Aylesbury, 10 yards hawthorn and elm hedge, laid South of England

The client wanted to be able to see past the end of their garden to the school playing field beyond.

Probably the hedge with the densest ivy I have ever worked on. When assessing a hedge you must check there are enough stems and that they are sound at the base. Here all you can see is the ivy and the tips of whatever else is growing in there at the top. If there isn't anything else showing then unless it's recently been trimmed it's just ivy.
A combination of dense ivy and mesh fencing trapped leaf litter to a height of about three feet.
Undaunted, the client undertook a large number of trips to the tidy tip to keep on top of the clearing up!

View before, just to the left is the side post of their garden gate.
 

Work in progress. The ivy has to be carefully stripped out, along in this case with mesh fencing. Note the height to which leaf letter has accumulated. The first day was spent clearing the hedge.
 

It was a very foggy couple of days when I worked on the hedge with very poor light. The client kindly sent me some images afterwards including this one.
