A hedge performs various functions on a site – it can decorate and protect from the wind.

Such plants can also provide privacy and prevent the prying eyes of neighbors.

But in order to create such a fence, you need to pay attention to important details.

Let's see what criteria are recommended by the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

It is important to consider the following criteria.

  1. How much time are you willing to spend on caring for green spaces - some trees and shrubs require regular shaping.

  3. Consider the depth of groundwater and soil type.
  4. Consider how long you are willing to wait for results, as any plant needs time to grow.
  5. Consider whether you want your hedge to look beautiful all year round.
