Gardens and drives in Shenley
Village plots between Radlett and London Colney: lane hedges and the odd side courtyard.
Shenley is more often a village plot than a town garden. A hedge faces the lane, grass runs towards a field, and an older house sometimes has a courtyard down the side. The visit is frequently a small paving job plus a regular cut.
Hedge trimming, leaves and fence painting fit that round. A hedge left for years usually needs a restoration cut before it can be held at a sensible height.
The yard is a short run through Radlett or Borehamwood. Hertsmere covers planning and protected trees in the parish.
