Hedging for sale

Hedging plants are a cornerstone of any British garden. Popular with landscapers, low border hedges can be used to provide structure and shape to a garden, whilst taller hedging provides privacy, shade and shelter from the wind.

Here at Grasslands, we grow our hedging plants under the care of our team of horticulturalists. We sell a range of hedges, all with their own unique look and feel, including Laurel hedges, Leylandii hedges and Privet hedges. All of our hedging plants are available at various sizes, from low borders up to 3 ½ metres tall.

Why Choose Evergreen Hedging?

Hedging is a beloved choice for gardens throughout the UK, particularly for those seeking to create a private oasis. For maximum privacy, select a hedge that grows to at least 2 metres in height. In addition to privacy, hedging provides shade, and windbreaks, and adds texture and visual appeal to your garden. Unique foliage, like the vibrant leaves of Photinia Red Robin, can enhance your garden’s aesthetics.

Low-border hedges are popular among landscapers for their ability to define garden areas and create pathways. They can also be shaped into various forms, adding a creative element to your garden design.

While hedging plants are generally low-maintenance, they do require some upkeep. Evergreen hedges usually need trimming once or twice a year, typically in late spring or early autumn. Deciduous hedges, which shed their leaves annually, may need less frequent trimming but still benefit from occasional care. Your choice between evergreen and deciduous hedges will depend on whether you prefer year-round foliage or seasonal changes.
