Coastal hedges, local know-how

Gardens the sea has a say in

Sandwich Bay gardens aren't like inland gardens. The salt does a number on some species, the wind prunes the exposed sides whether you want it to or not, and sandy soil drains fast. So the hedges that thrive here are the ones that can take it, tamarisk, escallonia, Griselinia, sea buckthorn, hardy privet and the odd hardy laurel in the more sheltered spots.

We trim with all that in mind. Usually gentler on the windward face, firmer on the sheltered side, otherwise you end up with a hedge that leans like it's had a long lunch.

We're out there regularly. Fair prices, tidy finish, and we won't leave clippings blowing across the estate.
