My fence has blown down in these high wind

My fence has blown down in these high winds. Should I replace it with a hedge and, if so, what type of hedging should I plant?

This gives the hedging plants enough time to begin establishing their roots before winter. This means when spring arrives, they will be in an ideal position […]
