Borders, Hedges and Screens make a great living division
in your garden; they provide definition, structure, privacy and shade. A
living division can be formal, traditional or modern in any shape or
size.
The secret to a healthy, quick growing, Border, Hedge or Screen is
regular trimming, fertilising and watering. It is very important to
choose the right plant for your garden situation.
BORDERS: borders are usually kept low, up
to 1m, they are great for defining pathways, driveways, garden beds and
special features such as fountains. Borders can be used in almost any
garden style and there are many different varieties to select from.
HEDGES: hedges are usually kept neat and
clipped, generally up to about 3 metres or lower. Hedges are great along
fences, driveways, behind borders and for adding structure to your
garden.
SCREENS: screens are usually left to grow
large and are not as formally clipped as a hedge. They are very useful
in blocking out unsightly features such as buildings and water tanks,
and are great for providing barriers and shade. Screens may be grown
narrower by planting your plants closer together. Trim your screen from
time to time to promote bushiness. |
