Strategic placement makes hedge walls look intentional. For spaces with depth, layer greenery with potted plants, furniture, or lights. Think about how to use lighting to set the mood at night. String lights or uplighting can do this while also bringing out texture.
Use different types of panels to make things look more interesting. To keep things from looking boring, switch up the boxwood and ivy patterns. Use trim pieces or planters to cleanly frame the edges. Raw edges make things look less polished.
Installation Basics and Best Practices
Most hedge wall systems use zip ties, mounting clips, or frames to put them up. To keep the panels from sagging, attach them every 12 to 18 inches along the top, bottom, and sides. Use zip ties that won’t break down and are UV-resistant.
Frames for freestanding installations need to be strong, like wood or metal posts set in concrete or heavy bases. Make the frames a little smaller than the panels so that they can expand with heat. When putting panels together, slightly overlap them to hide the seams.
Before you finish, test how well it holds up to the wind. More tie points or stronger backing are needed in areas with high winds to keep things in place.
