The advantages of ivy hedges for townhouses instead of cherry laurel

You have more peace and quiet within your own four walls and can feel at home in your own house , without any direct neighbors who could disturb you - a wonderful thing .

Especially in the city, a house is a wonderful luxury. The perfect balance between owning your own home and still being able to enjoy the many amenities of the city is tempting. The little green oasis that a small garden in the middle of the city offers is particularly beautiful. But what's the best way to define it? A prefabricated ivy hedge can be just the right solution.

These are the advantages of an ivy hedge for modern townhouses

Owners and tenants of modern townhouses desire a practical and, above all, attractive property boundary. This not only demarcates the property, but also offers a great opportunity for increased privacy. This is precisely where an ivy hedge comes in. Ivy hedges create an excellent privacy screen that looks modern, stays narrow, grows quickly, and is easy to maintain.

1. Ivy comes in different heights

Ivy is a climbing plant that not only thrives in our climate but also grows very robustly and quickly. An excellent option is a ready-made ivy hedge , which is available in heights of 100 cm, 180 cm, and up to 300 cm.

2. Ivy elements as privacy screen

Ivy climbs walls, trees, fences, and trellises, making it an excellent screen. This automatically provides more privacy. This is particularly beneficial in townhouses, as space is limited, so even in modern townhouses, neighbors are always nearby. Gardens in the city are meant to be used as a small oasis of relaxation, so it's not so nice if the neighbors always see what's for dinner or whether you're sunbathing in your bikini. Ivy as a screen is exactly what's needed here.

3. Ivy elements as shade providers

An ivy hedge as a garden hedge not only provides excellent privacy but also provides a cool touch. With their dark color and texture, ivy hedges provide shade, allowing other plants to grow better, and also provide a sense of freshness for the entire garden.

4. Modern look

The plant's visual appeal also creates a beautiful effect, quickly transforming even a small garden into a green oasis. Here, it's almost easy to forget that you're in the middle of the city. This allows you to easily combine all the advantages of both country and city. Ivy elements are also timeless, always providing a beautiful and stylish fence border.

The properties offered by an ivy hedge are also a great advantage. Anyone who chooses to plant such a hardy privacy screen has certainly not made a bad decision. An ivy wall and ivy hedge offer all of these qualities. They overwinter without problems and quickly recover in the spring, immediately providing optimal privacy.



But what's the best way to quickly and effectively create a beautiful ivy privacy screen? There's a quick and easy solution: the prefabricated ivy hedge .

Advantages of ready-made ivy hedges

It's possible to purchase individual pre-made hedge elements. This makes it quick and easy to create a good privacy screen. The ready-made evergreen hedge is grown by a nursery. The plants are grown on a trellis and can then be easily and quickly planted together with the fence.

It can take some time to complete an ivy hedge. While ivy grows quickly as a privacy screen, new movers want to enjoy all the benefits their new home has to offer right away. An ivy privacy screen offers all the advantages of a home-grown ivy hedge. It's also quick and easy to install.

By purchasing a ready-made ivy hedge, you're immediately purchasing optimal privacy. No more waiting for privacy, allowing you to immediately enjoy the freedom of your own garden to the fullest.

Ready-made hedges from the nursery are the perfect choice here. They're quick, and you can place an order right during the planning stage. This way, everything will be ready by the time you move in, and the garden can be used as your own private oasis of relaxation, without the prying eyes of your neighbors.

This is precisely why ready-made ivy hedges are so popular for providing a fence around townhouses.
