Overview
Hedges are a valuable part of many gardens and outdoor spaces which can offer:
- privacy
- reduce wind exposure
- encourage wildlife
A well-kept hedge can also enhance the visual appeal of a property, creating a natural boundary that blends in well with the landscape.
However, when hedges grow too tall they can become a source of concern, particularly for neighbouring homes. Overly high hedges may block sunlight and reduce natural daylight, making gardens and living spaces feel darker and less inviting.
Being mindful of hedge height and its impact on others helps to maintain a pleasant environment for everyone.
