Landscaping with hedges: 11 ways to beautifully enhance or frame your plot

Landscaped knot garden with geometric clipped buxus hedging.

When it comes to adding structure to your yard, landscaping with hedges is an ideal solution. Whether it's a soft natural screen, smart edging for paths and borders, helping to divide up spaces or adding a clipped eye-catching topiary feature, hedging plants are so versatile. 

Depending on the variety you choose, hedges can add a dark, dense backdrop that's perfect for colorful borders to pop against, while low hedges are ideal for dividing up spaces and adding definition to break up planting. They are often less expensive than installing brick walls, making them a cost-effective way of creating spaces and enclosures within a garden setting.
