Peter:
Hi,
We have a long hedge in our back garden at the bottom of a slope. We were thinking of leveling off the garden slope with the addition of a load of topsoil. But this would mean an extra foot or so of soil over the hedge, covering some lower branches and leaves and making it harder for the water to get to the roots.
I was wondering if you could give me advice on this. Will the hedge survive? Not sure of the exact variety of hedge, but it is native to Northern Ireland.
Thank you very much in advance for your help on this.
Peter
