The Value

A hedge row or allée is a linear arrangement of closely planted trees or shrubs that form a dense avenue. Hedge rows typically consist of evergreen or deciduous plants trimmed into a uniform shape, creating a neat, visually striking boundary pathway. Allées, on the other hand, refer to a similar arrangement of trees planted in parallel rows, often flanking a driveway, walkway, or other prominent feature, creating a sense of symmetry and grandeur in the landscape design. These landscape features not only add aesthetic appeal and structure to the landscape, it also creates privacy, defining property boundaries and shielding the home from neighboring views or street traffic. They can also provide a habitat for nearby wildlife, contributing to the biodiversity and ecological balance in the surrounding environment.
