Hedge laying, the "laying" of a hedge, is a method practiced mainly in Great Britain and Ireland to maintain a hedge in the long term, to restore it or to upgrade it. The special thing about this is that the trunks of the hedge plants are cut so far above the ground that it is possible to turn them over by applying pressure to the side and thus use the branched, dense upper part of the plant as a hedge again. The upper part of the plant that has been laid down also continues to grow, while the trunk below the cut rebounds. This will restore or improve the function of the hedge:

Impermeability to grazing animals and humans. The stability of a laid hedge corresponds to that of a solid fence.
Improvement of ecological diversity: The plant parts that are laid remain vital at first, but die off over time, so that after a few years the hedge is a dense network of dead wood and living bushes. This means that it has a higher proportion of living wood than a Benjes hedge , but a higher proportion of dead wood than a normal hedge . In contrast to buckling a hedge, as is practiced in northern Germany, for example, the bushes remain in place.

There are numerous regional styles of planting a hedge in the UK. See the detailed article on hedgelaying in the English language Wikipedia. In Great Britain there is even a Hedge laying Society (see https://www.hedgelaying.org.uk/ ), which is dedicated to the care and quality assurance of this horticultural art.
