When we moved into our bungalow, which will be two years on the 6th June, I said right away I didn't like the very high hedge, which went all round three sides of the property. Everyone I knew said, it would cost too much to have it removed and it was nicely green! Environmentalists said it would be alive with insects and birds and what a shame to remove it. But they didn't have the headache of getting it cut, nor the cost. The cost has risen over the two years and is now close on £1500 each year! But guess what.... it had no birds in it and apart from the odd spider or ant not a lot of anything else.. And as it was my hedge I have had it taken out and a fence in its place.

Hedges are hard work, we had one along one side of our last property, it had not been looked after and was very wide. Your fence looks very neat, have fun choosing plants. Marlene, Poppypatchwork
I think the new fence is far better. Well done and happy gardening.
It’s always good to have new garden plans! I’m sure that you’ll work wonders with your new fence and grow some lovely things against it! Hedges are hard work indeed; we had a massive one at our previous house and although it was lovely for all the nesting birds, it did take time to maintain it. 😁
I think I'd have done the same, hedges are such hard work to keep looking good. Glad you're happy with your decision.
