From former farmyard to garden


The Nicholsons forestry team have been helping one of our clients create a garden out of what had once been an unloved farmyard surrounding their new home. A new house has been built on the site in South Oxfordshire, but the grounds around were still rather open and were surrounded by a mixture of overgrown native hedging and fast-growing, but rather thin willow hedge.

After rabbit fencing the entire garden and cutting back the existing native hedge, we have replaced the willow hedge with some 1-1.5m high container-grown native hedging, together with 30 specimen hedgerow trees. We also planted a number of speciment trees in various location around the garden to give the garden more structure and shelter.
