Oving, Bucks, 75 metres farm boundary hedge, mostly hawthorn with some blackthorn. The hedge was very variable along its length since several huge leylandii trees in the garden had severely shaded some of it until recently take down by the new owners. Some sections needed support so the hedge was staked and bound and laid South of England style. The Outer Aylesbury Ring footpath runs right past this hedge.
View from start of hedge before...
...same view, work underway - a shrubby self-set yew has been converted into a cute little tree
Looking to garage before...
...and after. Hedges always look good with frost or snow on them.
There's an apple tree behind there somewhere..
...and a greenhouse too!
View looking back towards the start...
...that looks better.
View from gate at far end before...
...and after.
Attractive view looking towards Whitchurch, previously blocked by the hedge
There were lots of favourable comments from the locals one of whom posted this on Facebook
