Nice demarcation from the neighbors

Arguments with neighbors are more common than we would like. This blog explains why a garden hedge can be a good solution to prevent, limit, and, in the best case, resolve arguments with neighbors. Read more here!

Garden hedges create a natural barrier and provide privacy

Sometimes it helps to avoid eye contact with your neighbor. That always helps when your neighbor is curiously staring at your property to see what you are doing and then getting upset about it. Garden hedges form a natural barrier to the neighbor's border and avoid eye contact. Garden hedges can be planted at any height to ensure that they also prevent eye contact with your neighbors. If you don't want to wait until the garden hedge has reached a certain height, you can use ready-made hedges. Efeuria's garden hedges are 85% opaque when delivered. They are also available in different heights from 100 cm to 300 cm. If that doesn't help!

Which garden hedges are suitable against neighbour disputes

Trees are generally a good option as they provide a sturdy barrier and can prevent eye contact with your neighbors. However, you will need to be prepared for a lot of time before a tree reaches the size and effect to separate you from your neighbor. Another option is evergreen shrubs such as privet, yew, taxus and ivy as they form a good privacy screen and prevent eye contact. You can also use a combination of trees and shrubs to create a barrier.

How to use garden hedges as soundproofing

Garden hedges can also be used as soundproofing to dampen the noise coming from your neighbors. This is especially helpful if your lovely neighbors are particularly loud or regularly throw loud parties. Hedges can help reduce the noise level in your garden by creating a dense barrier between you and your neighbors, similar to a wall. This can help reduce the noise level and give you the peace and quiet you desire.

Garden hedges and privacy screen in one

A combination of garden hedges and privacy walls to separate you from the neighbouring property is also interesting. This offers the desired protection and looks visually appealing to you, as the green hedge wall is interrupted. We are seeing this combination more and more often, especially in modern gardens, and we very much welcome this development.

How garden hedges can restrict access to the garden

Garden hedges, and especially ready-made hedges, can help restrict access to the garden by replacing the fence. This is especially helpful if you don't want your neighbors coming into your garden. Efeuria's ready-made hedges have a metal trellis on which the ivy tendrils grow. This combination is a fence boundary in itself. In terms of ready-made hedges, you can choose the height of the hedge as you like to create a natural fence boundary.

How to plan and create garden hedges

If you want to plan and create a garden hedge, you should consider the following factors. First, you should decide what type of garden hedge you want. Then you should decide how high you want the hedge to be when fully grown. Not every hedge will reach the height you ideally want. Many hedges, including privet, look very beautiful and reach the appropriate height. However, privet takes up a lot of space in the garden. Ready-made ivy hedges are an interesting option here, as they always remain thin and slender with the right care and trimming.

What are the costs associated with garden hedges

Generally speaking, small and not fully grown hedges are cheaper than fully grown hedges. You can buy these at the hardware store and plant them yourself. The disadvantage is that you have to be patient until the plants reach the appropriate height. Fully grown plants are a little more expensive, as they are usually cured in a greenhouse. The advantage of these is that you get the privacy you want straight away. You should also consider the costs of delivery and planting, as well as the costs of garden tools, watering, fertilizing and caring for the hedges.

Coming soon: Garden hedges help to keep peace with neighbors

Garden hedges can help keep the peace with neighbors. Using garden hedges can create a natural barrier that can limit visual contact and access to the neighbor's garden. They can also serve as a sound barrier to reduce noise levels. In addition, garden hedges can help protect privacy by creating a boundary to the neighbor's garden. Garden hedges can therefore be a very effective way of creating peace and quiet with some distance. We at Efeuria wish you good neighbors and lots of joy in your garden oasis.
