A hedge has many purposes.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , it not only serves as a decoration of the landscape, but also protects from noise and dust that penetrate the site from the road.
In addition, additional plants are more effective at purifying the air, so you can, as they say, breathe deeply.
One should not forget about the ability of such a natural “shield” to protect the territory from gusts of strong wind.
It is also important that trees have the ability to retain moisture in the soil. Some summer residents use a hedge to strengthen the banks, because, as we know, plots are different...
To create a hedge, you can use plants that reach a height of 1-1-5 meters, as well as 2 meters or more.
In this case, it is better to opt for unpretentious plants that do not require special care. But even such trees and shrubs should be shaped so that your fence does not turn into a dense forest.
So, what plants can be used for this purpose? The list is not small and includes the following:
- Yellow acacia.
- Physocarpus viburnum-leaved.
- Common barberry.
- Barberry Thunberg.
- European euonymus.
- Rose glaucous.
- Purple willow.
- Small-leaved linden.
- Thuja.
- Amelanchier rotundifolia.
