This will of course be governed by the maximum diameter your trimmer will be able to take.

Long Handled Yorkshire Billhook – Why is it named after an English county?

The billhook has over the years been used in coppice and hedge row work across the whole of the UK. Many counties blacksmiths made their own specific design, and thus it became known by the name of the county. The Yorkshire billhook pattern continues to be one of our best selling hedge laying hooks. There are a handful of popular patterns, most of which we sell, but many other counties have had, or still have their own patterns, each one original in it’s own way.

What is Hedge Laying?

Hedge laying is an old traditional technique for thickening up a hedge row. Most hedges when they get established will have more dense greenery higher up than at ground level. In years and decades gone by livestock was enclosed in by hedges which needed to be escape proof. Of course keeping unwanted visitors out would have been top priority. In more modern times with the availability of stock fencing etc, this is a more common approach, however hedge laying as a skill is far from finished and in fact there are well attended hedge laying competitions and other events around the UK every year which help to promote this traditional skill. If you look around the countryside between late autumn and early spring you can often find freshly laid hedges dotted around. In modern times hedges are given this treatment to help natural habitats and to keep the traditional skills alive. Also from a visual point of view, a newly laid hedge is a fantastic sight.

How to lay a hedge

Well, we won’t get too technical here, because there are variations and different approaches in different parts of the UK. The basic principal though is that a cut is put through the stem of the hedge, using a tool such as the Yorkshire billhook and then the whole stem is bent over. once this is done along the whole hedge, the new growth will thicken the hedge up from ground level to the top and make a nice dense hedge.
