It can be tricky to pinpoint an exact lifespan for hedging as it all depends on where it’s situated, whether you live in a particularly sunny space and other factors, but if your hedging mats fade within 1 year of purchase, please let us know.

When you're building your hedge frame, it's best to leave a panel that can be removed so that bricks, stones or sand can be added to the inside of your frame once your hedge is in place.
Sure, you're best to leave one end on each hedge bald so that the foliage is seamless when you push them together. If your hedging has a base to it, we recommend leaving a gap on one side, just like with the foliage, so that they join up nicely when pushed together.
