Front garden June 08

beautiful front garden

I'm not usually keen on hedges made into different shapes but these look really great. : )

The plaque near the doorway says "Four Seasons" - the same as our profile icon.

This is different.

I do like this idea. I suppose if time is on your side.

It didn't take as long as we thought it would to get the shapes - we now trim them once a year, properly, and another time just to take off the rogue bits. The main yew hedge near the fence replaced a privet hedge and rose border - not a good combination! The soil was parched so we made a trench and put humus at the bottom, together with Growmore, and planted little hedging yew. It grew surprisingly fast!

wow impressive,,they are wonderful.

So smart and a credit to you.

I just love your Box hedge, and the shape you have created, looks great.

Very clever.

I love your crazy paving - I'd like to replace a large square of pea shingle (which gets everywhere) in my own front garden with some crazy paving, so to see this photo is very inspiring. Good to see it, much prefer it to the block paving which seems to be fashionable these days. What a lovely front garden, congrats!
