There are several
reasons for a homeowner to get a garden hedge or screening installed on their
property. Though you could consider having fencing around your property,
hedging is an affordable way of getting privacy from prying neighbours.
Moreover, these hedges are a lot more effective than a barbed wire to prevent
passing children, escaping pets and keeping out intruders from the property.
There are several kinds
of garden hedges that a landlord can choose from. Some of them are as follows.
·

dynamic, quick growing variety amongst the Photinias. With an ability to grow to
a height of 2 to 4m, these plants are perfect choice for hedging and screening
