Description

Hedgelaying is an environmentally friendly method of managing overgrown hedges. The processing involves systematically cutting most of the way through each stem at ground level and bending it over to lie on the ground. The stem continues to grow and there is also new vigorous growth from the point of cutting, which eventually regenerates the hedge.
