What are the best hedges for your garden? 

The answer to that is wide and in order for you to choose the best hedge you should ask a few questions first. 

• Do I want evergreen or deciduous ?
• Purpose of the hedge ? Shelter, Noise filter, support biodiversity, frame your garden, create a room or space within your garden etc. 
• What height do I want it to grow to?
• What is my soil like? wet/dry etc
• Situation ? inland / costal
• How many times per year does it need to be cut? can I manage this number of cuts. 

Once you have answered these you are a long way to choosing the perfect hedge for your garden.

 Allow us to guide you through the labyrinth of hedges, shedding light on the perfect picks for your unique outdoor space. From the classic distinction between evergreen and deciduous hedges to the importance of considering your long-term hedge maintenance plan, we've got you covered.

We're particularly excited to introduce you to some evergreen hedges – think Laurel, Portuguese Laurel, Taxus & Privet. Discover their characteristics, how they can boost your garden's aesthetic appeal, and how you can care for them. Plus, we share tips on the optimal times to plant your hedges.
