Outdoor Hedges See Increase Usage Due to Heat Wave

The recent heat wave gripping the Midwest and other areas of the U.S. has people looking at alternatives to landscape maintenance. The artificial grass craze that swept the nation has spilled over to the hedge ,shrub and other artificial plant décor market. Landscapers used to using water absorbing vegetation have looked for alternatives to offer their clients.

Outdoor boxwood hedges and bushes are one plant that is often imitated to create a fake hedge. Other outdoor plants and shrubs are being imitated to reduce the water consumption and add some green to the dry and brown look that accompanies a drought.

The residents, businesses and municipalities of major cities, including New York, Miami, and Chicago, under duress from the high heat are looking at alternatives to natural plants. Watering restrictions and the cost of replacing dried up or dead hedge make these new outdoor artificial hedges all the more attractive.

Stand alone box hedges can be constructed of metals or wood and can be assembled at home.  These hedges imitate the manicured boxwood hedge that is so common. Commercial companies do exist to provide these products. The main limitation is the cost of shipping such bulky products. Other companies provide the D.I.Y materials so you can purchase your own outdoor artificial mats or bushes. This allows customers to save on shipping and expense while participating in a great project.

Outdoor artificial boxwood bushes can be combined together to form a hedge line or shrub. Some manufacturers custom make these bushes so that they can be used to create a modular hedge. This type of hedge is great for those in a hurry or in the event business where things may only go up for a few days or hours and then have to be taken down and stored.

Finally, many people had already addressed this problem in the past and had put in succulents, rock and other water free landscape components. These people can stay inside and not be subject to the heat. For some, the addition of an artificial hedge or a new green bush may be a fun idea that separates the neighbors property an gives the yard a little look of “wow, is that a real or a fake hedge.” The artificial hedges that come from Geranium Street Floral’s online store are sure to give peoples some options and may help with the recent heat wave. visit Geraniumstreet.com
