How to create a beautiful Laurel Hedge.

Hello You Tube, it’s Rob from Maxwells Grass Cutting Services, based in the North East of England.

In today’s video together with Ian , we are removing a Leylandii hedge and replacing it with a Cherry Laurel Hedge.

It’s all about keeping things simple and good preparation.

I look forward to reading your comments and feedback.

Remember, when the green gold is growing, keep mowing.

All the best.

Rob. That’s proper graft taking out roots and all. I always try to persuade a customer to mix a hedge up ie different types and colours always looks great when it’s established. I alway use a post digger spade when I’m making holes for the newbies makes life a bit easier in my opinion. Great post.

Great tidy job Rob! Finally got a glimpse of Ian to 👍🏻

Lovely job Rob. Great attention to detail.

Great job Rob. Keep on top of the trimming when it gets established so it doesn’t get away from you. I’ve trimmed a Laurel patch today 6’ tall very wide. I had to use my one metre extension on my Stihl Combi hedge cutter to cut the top. I took off last years growth which was approx 4’ in length.

Hi Rob I planted 35 cherry laurels last week also they have a front side nice and glossy backside side not so, I only realised when I had them in the ground one or 2 didn't look quite right, good job as always Rob hope all is swell 👍

[Phil-The-Gardener]

that looks good. I enjoy planting. especially on jobs where you can go back months/ years later and see how it has grown

[bradroller]

Very nice job it looks great mate 👍🏻👏🏻

You need a farmers high lift jack pal for getting roots out. Wrap a chain around the roots and get her lifted out.

Great job as always Rob but tbh, as a gardener myself I'd much prefer to cut and maintain a Conifer over a Laurel any day but each to their own!

Great job, i like the laural hedges, i tend to like convincing customers to go for 2 foot spacing if possible especially on smaller runs, a makes a nice quick full screen, anywhere between 2ft and 3ft spacing is 100per cent, obviously the larger gap will take longer to grow in so to speak, i like using root balled plants as i generally can get a larger plant for less money as a root ball vrs pot grown, but those plants look good and they will grow fast, a tidy job well done, as you say keep them watered!

Get yourself a farm jack and a length of good chain.
Wrap the chain around the stump. Fix with big screws.
Connect to the jack.
Sit the jack in a double thickness section of scaffolding board and just jack the stumps out as you dig and cut.
It'll save you hour's of work.

I really want to grow laurel for privacy. I think they are beautiful shrubs. Thank you for your video on this plant.

[jasonhewlett]

Good job, Rob, but I would not plant a cherry laurel hedge as I hate the bugger s. Lol .I would stear the customer towards a Portuguese laurel instead. 😉. The green gold will shortly be growing !

[markcorcoran]

I am thinking of planting a laurel or beach hedge along a straight line 45 metre fence. The ground is compacted stoney clay. Would it be ok to dig out the holes for each plant like you did or would I have to get a mini digger to cultivate a trench ?

[markvots]

Can you post an update on this? Would love to see how fast the Laurel Hedge grows!

[robertreader]

Looks fab. May i ask for a rough price for taking the old hedge down and clearing the waste
