mabel lily Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I have walked along our street today and the hedges at the front of the houses are completely out of control. Some of them are right up past their front windows and it must be incredibly dark inside they must need to have the lights on permanently. Why cant people keep them under control? You can buy cheap shears or hedgecutters these days and if you keep doing it regularly then it doesn't get out of control. It makes the area look very down trodden and unkempt, not a good look at all. Come on all you householders get out there and take a bit of pride in your homes.

ooisit Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 There are some top excuses in this thread........... I drove through the wybourn estate yesterday and was amazed to see that out of about two hundred houses I past only about 2 or 3 gardens were maintained to any sort of standard. People who live in council house and don't maintain or make provision for maintainence of their gardens should be moved into flats and make way for others who would apreciate the privelage. The place looks a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabel lily Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Ok I accept that excuse especially if you work and only have the weekends and evenings to do it, but some of these people near me are in all day, so no excuse I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 If birds are nesting, or might be nesting, in the hedges then it's illegal to trim them until after the chicks have all left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabel lily Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 You could come along our street when it does stop raining and try it out. You could do the whole street in one go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
