Hello mate, fellow professional gardener and just subscribed. Well done for not moaning more about the pissy weather. It has been bloody dire for months now for all us outdoor tradespersons! Mind you, I still wouldn't want an indoor job! Good point about the pruning. I do the same. We always have to balance good plant care against customer understanding!
Polos, pasties, and sausage rolls.I love the way you speak.What a difference you would find at our townie convenience stores....I like watching your videos and hearing about your lunch.
Laurels will quickly grow and provide a private garden which seems to be needed here near a school? They just need keeping under control as you know Lee. More work for the future!
I like all hedges ,I’m going to find some here to plant even though they might not make it in our hot summers. Thanks Lee again you make it look so easy.😅🤩
Hey lee , hows the wheel ? Just planted these myself they were in 4 ltr pots probably around 120cm tall Its 1st week of march is it ok to give them a hair cut now or wait till june ? Some are leggy
Hi lee another top video. How far do you put them apart? There's no need to put new soil in the hole before you put the plants in 👍👍glad you keeping busye 👍
I do like laurel. I use it to fill in hedges where the hedge has grown too tall and is no longer fill the bottom. Cherry does well under the privet as it can stand the shade and dry soil - it looks great as you have a privet top and laurel bottom.
Wet weather🤪 sorry for mixing in, but I spread the roots with a claw, I think the plants grow better. No critic, just to mention, but we have dry hot summers an my garden has very heavy soil (no sand but clay). This might be different from your area.
I winded up not finding the laurels so I ordered bigfoot cleyera and bronze cleyera. Very similar though..check them out. Still love the laurels. I subscribed bc i enjoy your videos and accent! Im southern btw 🙂
Good vid.. I'm putting 60 in my garden as my back will testify to..have I done right in putting compost some other mulch from apples and some horse manure in before putting them in and watering them..
Hi , love the video, I have just started working at a place where we have about 40 laurels about 2 and half to 3 feet tall, apparently they are planted above an old road . The road is about 18inches below and some seem to be struggling, I have been feeding them with home made nettle fertiliser . Should I carry on feeding them through winter and would it be ok to clip them now or am I best to wait for spring Cheers mark
Hi, nice video again. Just a query about the spacing, I'm doing one of these this week, 35 metres and the place I've bought the plants from recommends 3 per metre, as does my local garden centre, so I've bought 100 plants (customer has already paid and I'm making a decent amount for the job as well), you've planted just over 1 per metre, is the 3 per metre recommendation by the garden centres overkill do you think just to sell more plants?
Lee ,question for you ive got 70ft area that I want to plant but need a little height to protect my property ,how many would I need in these cherry laurel trees and far in planting them apart..what you recommend, any advice would be good .cheers Steve
Nice video. Quick question. It's nearly time to overseed the lawn after scarifying, is there a particular type or brand of seed you would recommend for a really nice lawn?? Cheers 👍🏼
@LHL garden services Pls I am also want to c the update. What is the growth rate? Is it faster /slower than bamboo? Can u explain us the pros and cons of Laurel v bamboo hedging
Just want to say i hate that shrub had to dig so many out ridiculously large 40m high and wide just a pain in the backside prefer ligustrum or grisilinea in fact any shrubs better even my best friend pyracantha which ive had many fights with spiny devils
Pet peeve. Hedges growing over boundaries to obstruct footpaths and intrude into other peoples gardens. The Cherry Laurel has a wide spread, and as I believe they want the hedge in for privacy and sound reduction from the noise factory close by. To facilitate a good spread should you not have planted those you can further back into the garden to let them get a good spread at the base all round as you will have to cut them on the outside level with the wall so they don't obstruct the street or have the owner risk a claim for wee Jimmy getting his face ripped off as he staggered home drunk, on a protruding hedge. Just asking, as I had three sets of neighbors plant Leylandii weeds at our rear fence line and I lost five foot of garden to them until I gathered up some gumption and went wild and cut them back to the fence line, which eventually killed them all as lop sided trees don't generally do well.
I'd love to see what this hedge looks like now!
Unfortunately it was a one off but I've been asked a few times about an update so I will drive back and do an update ASAP..stay tuned 👍🏻
@@LHLgardenservices Did you do a drive-by?
@@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK 🙈🙈🙈 totally forgot sorry....I'll put a note in my diary...I'll do a post on my Instagram
@@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK did you see the follow up video??👍
@@LHLgardenservices No, not yet. I'll take a look tho :)
i can't see why you got 4 thumbs down for planting such a wonderful hedge? Nice job as always sir
Cheers chris..😉

Thanks buddy 😊
Loving the videos mate , I'm currently studying at capel manor and always learning !
Thank you thanks for watching 👍
Hi Lee, how far away would you plant 2’ tall plants from the lawn edge please? Thanks
All depends on what you want and what they are...Are you going to clip them are they a hedge..what is behind them the list goes on 🤷♂️
@@LHLgardenservices laurels, behind is a fence and yep clip. Thanks for helping
Loving the videos Lee lots of good tips and tricks. . I'm just wondering has a customer ever said no to you filming the job?
Cheers 👍..no 🎬📽🎥👍
Those hedges are very pretty, I bet they'll look awesome once fully grown. Nice soggy soil. 😉🇺🇸
Yes going to be just above wall..I'm turfing the ground as soon as its dry 👍
Hi lee another top video. How far do you put them apart? There's no need to put new soil in the hole before you put the plants in 👍👍glad you keeping busye 👍
Hi, I have couple of question, wonder if you can help me with that,
is this 2 litre pot?
If so how far away did you plant these apart?
Yes I would like to know the distance apart too. Looks about 2 ft

🤔👌👌👌
One of my favourite bushes
😊😊👍
Great vid lee. Keep er lit
😁👍
each to their own mate. but give me photinia any day. (not as dense like ) happy turfing
Wet weather🤪 sorry for mixing in, but I spread the roots with a claw, I think the plants grow better. No critic, just to mention, but we have dry hot summers an my garden has very heavy soil (no sand but clay). This might be different from your area.
👌👌👍
Sounds like they had a lot of kids at this house.😉
😁😁school opposite 👍
Hence the hedge?
I winded up not finding the laurels so I ordered bigfoot cleyera and bronze cleyera. Very similar though..check them out. Still love the laurels. I subscribed bc i enjoy your videos and accent! Im southern btw 🙂
🙏🤘hope you enjoy the other videos 😊
Did you build the wall Lee? Looks nice as well as the hedging
No mate 👍
Good vid.. I'm putting 60 in my garden as my back will testify to..have I done right in putting compost some other mulch from apples and some horse manure in before putting them in and watering them..
Compost always helps 👌👌
@@LHLgardenservices thanks pal.. I'm on the wirral and at the bottom of the garden the soil is very clay like.. just hope they take.. thanks again
@@elizabethevelyn9761 no problem...clay can be a pain but the up side is it holds more nutrients 👍
@@LHLgardenservices 👍👍
Great video tfs
Thank you you're welcome 😊
I am surprised you didn't loosen the roots before planting?
Are you??? And why is that ???
💪💪💪

Probably about right..2.5 ft < 3ft apart
Lee ,question for you ive got 70ft area that I want to plant but need a little height to protect my property ,how many would I need in these cherry laurel trees and far in planting them apart..what you recommend, any advice would be good .cheers Steve
What is that fertiliser you use....looks like a slow release type.
I've used Growmore 👇👇
amzn.to/3dtrXvy
Is the Laurel an Hardy plant? (sorry, someone had to do it!)
🙈🙈😁
Evening Lee :)
Best accent ever! How far apart are they? 2 ft?
😆😆cheers ....probably 2.5ft apart 👍
Ohhhh 10k peeps must b liking yr whinging hehheheeheheh.... goood work on the hedges m8
Sometimes......a man has to have a whinge 🤣🤣
Oh wow, how many did you plant? Looks great! 👍🏻
56 I think 👍👍
Oh wow. That's quite a few! Thanks for answering. Have a great weekend. :)
What type of fertiliser did you use?
GROWMORE
amzn.to/3dtrXvy 👍
Thank you
Prunus laurocerasus ''Rotundifolia if your interested Lee lol
👍
Hi lee I have see a lot of your videos now..just a quick question how come you don't have anybody working with you..
I had a lad who left last year to go on the taxis...find I'm ok on my own now 👍
How wide will the hedge be in a year or two?
In a year or two probably about a metre 🤔
Are these deer resistant?
Sorry no idea 🤷♂️
Thats some wet soil your working with. Will be a nice hedge in a couple of years.
Cheers👍...I've got to turf this as soon as its dry 🙈
I'm looking for a hedge that will grow asap for privacy
Leylandii is your quickest and gives privacy
Nice video. Quick question. It's nearly time to overseed the lawn after scarifying, is there a particular type or brand of seed you would recommend for a really nice lawn?? Cheers 👍🏼
No sorry...I only use amenity seed as top quality seed will need cutting twice a week...👍
Hello stranger 😂😂 I'm currently doing research to plant some of these too 😂
Tomorrow, in fact lol
Hi Lee what is the space wee
Laurel. Are They Hardy????..Remember not to rest on your Laurels
How do you compare laurel to leylandii
What do you mean ??
@@LHLgardenservices what would you say is a better hedge to plant
@@michaelcollins5308 couldn't say..both are good Hedges and both need similar maintenance.
I’d like to have bay leaf plants can you deliver How much cost I’m in Bahrain
Sorry I'm a contractor not a nursery 👍
At least u won't need to water them in ha
Think they may float away 🙈🙈
@@LHLgardenservices u mite be rite as the water is running down the road here again in Cork
