OUR HEDGE PLANTING SERVICES
We specialise in designing and planting hedges that suit your garden’s unique characteristics. Whether you want to create a natural boundary, enhance privacy, or add visual interest, we tailor our hedge planting services to your needs.
Types of Hedges
We offer a variety of hedge options, including Evergreen hedges that provide year-round privacy and consistent green foliage, flowering hedges, such as hawthorn or viburnum, that add seasonal colour, fast-growing hedges, such as leylandii, that are great for quickly establishing boundaries, and finally, native hedges, such as beech or hornbeam, that support biodiversity.
Our planting process ensures healthy, thriving hedges regardless of your chosen hedge. We take meticulous care throughout the process to prepare the soil, select high-quality plants, and space them correctly for even growth. To support our customers, we offer aftercare guidance to ensure long-lasting hedges.

THE BENEFITS OF HEDGE PLANTING & TRIMMING
Hedges are a core, vital feature in any garden. They add structure and definition to outdoor space while providing a range of benefits:
Aesthetic Appeal
Properly trimmed hedges can create a polished, tidy appearance, while newly planted hedges add character. With a range of available designs and styles, you can elevate your garden’s aesthetics while bolstering its overall coherency.
Privacy & Security
Hedges form a natural barrier, offering privacy from neighbours and shielding your property from passersby. Well-planted, dense hedges can also act as a strong deterrent for intruders.
Positive Environmental Impact
By offering a natural habitat for birds, insects and small mammals, hedges can support local wildlife and contribute to air quality by filtering pollutants and producing oxygen.
Seasonal Growth Management
Regular trimming prevents overgrowth, keeps hedges neat, and promotes healthy growth. It also ensures your hedges stay robust and resist damage from weather, pests, or diseases.
Improved Property Value
Like a well-build fence, a well-maintained hedge adds to your garden’s overall appeal. This can make your property more attractive to potential buyers, as hedges offer aesthetic and functional benefits.
FAQ
Learn more about our hedging and trimming services along with other frequently asked questions we receive.
What types of hedges are best for privacy in Essex and Suffolk?
Evergreen hedges, such as leylandii, privet, and yew, are ideal for year-round privacy. These species grow dense foliage that shields your property from view.
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Most hedges require trimming 1-2 times per year, but fast-growing varieties like leylandii may need more frequent maintenance. Our team can recommend a schedule based on your hedge type.
Do you offer hedge planting services for rural properties?
Yes, we provide tailored hedge planting services for both urban and rural properties, ensuring the chosen hedge complements the surrounding environment.
What’s the best time of year to plant hedges in the UK?
The best time to plant hedges is in autumn or early spring when the soil is moist, and plants can establish roots before active growth begins. The “best time” can change depending on the hedge you want to plant. We recommend contacting us if you are unsure when to start your hedging project.
Can you create formal hedge shapes and designs?
Yes, our team specialises in creating formal hedge designs, including geometric shapes and topiary, ensuring your garden looks neat and sophisticated.
