Friday's Fences

A little late this week.  I have been looking for hedges and there don't seem to be many around.  I remember as a child that there were a lot of beautifully manicured and sculpted hedges, especially in the more affluent suburbs. I guess in those day people could afford to pay to have their hedges trimmed. Some of them had the name of the property cut into the hedges, others had topiary figures on top of the hedges. Others were just perfectly maintained. It seems a pity that these beautiful fences are becoming fewer in the modern day.
I did find a few in my area, but nothing as grand as those I remember from my childhood.

A neat hedge and a neat fence. Love the crooked sign post

A newly planted hedge. This one has been planted around that big property I featured way back. It actually goes all around the huge house block. Will take some maintaining. They can probably afford to hire a gardener just for the hedge.

 I am issuing a Hedge Challenge.  Can you find a hedge that rivals the old style hedges?Hhave you a decent hedge in your area?  Please post it.
