Hedges look simple — a row of shrubs, some trimming, and you have privacy. But many gardeners make critical mistakes that turn hedges into a sorry sight.
🌿 Example: Choosing the wrong location, mixing planting materials, or trimming too vertically can strip the bottom of the hedge of its greenery, leaving it “bare” at the bottom.
Here are three mistakes that are often overlooked:
- Planting too close to a fence or trees — the roots compete for moisture and light.
- Errors in the distance between bushes — plants “suffocate” each other.
- Forming too late — they start trimming only when the hedge has already “grown” and it is difficult to restore its shape.
