What type of hedging is best for your landscaping project?

Our Instant Hedging is available from 0.5m to 12.0m in height and is sold as individual plants that have been carefully clipped over many years to create a dense rectangular form. When used in residential projects, a single species is often utilised. Carpinus betulus, Fagus sylvatica or Taxus baccata are all hardy and deliver that dense, classic look.

We have also worked on many projects where smaller hedging plants have been preferred to our instant, pre-clipped plants. These have included mixed native species such as Crataegus, Cornus and Corylus. Readily available from 1.5m in height, our Mixed Hedges are valuable habitats for wildlife, offering year round interest.

What are the benefits of Air-Pot® Container Grown Hedging?

The Air-Pot® system prevents root spiraling and helps our trees to develop an undisturbed and highly fibrous root system, maximizing water and nutrient absorption. Air-Pot® containerised plants can be supplied all year round and when planted have much increased transplant resilience and significantly reduced transplant shock. The flat bottomed shape of the root system also makes Air-Pot® trees extremely stable when planted.

Choose the right hedging plants, grown the right way

Planting decisions increasingly sit alongside environmental and supply chain requirements. The UK’s domestic tree and plant supply is often under scrutiny because of plant health risks and procurement standards, the Plant Healthy certification scheme is designed to improve biosecurity practice across ornamental horticulture and forestry supply chains.

Hedging Questions & Answers

Who are the best trade hedging suppliers for instant hedging in the UK?

The best trade hedging suppliers are those who can consistently provide the right sizes, species and forms, with good availability and project support. At Deepdale Trees, we supply instant hedging (pre-clipped for dense form) and hedging plants for professional landscaping and construction clients, with advice available from our expert team when needed. If you’re working to a deadline, using a specialist trade hedging supplier can help reduce risk around plant selection and programme fit.

What is instant hedging and why do landscapers choose it for trade projects?

Instant hedging is established hedging grown and clipped over years to create a dense, rectangular structure, giving fast visual improvements and screening once planted. Deepdale’s instant hedging is available from typical less than a metre up to over 12m in height.

What types of hedging are best for commercial landscaping?

For many residential and commercial projects, a single species is chosen for the way the hedging looks and grows consistently. Some examples include Carpinus betulus, Fagus sylvatica and Taxus baccata, which are hardy and deliver a dense, classic look. For biodiversity weighted designs, mixed native hedges can offer year round interest and a good habitat for wildlife. Deepdale Trees has supplied mixed native species such as Crataegus, Cornus and Corylus to trade customers. A good trade hedging supplier can advise on whether uniform screening or mixed habitat value best suits the brief.

Can a trade hedging supplier provide hedging all year round?

Some production systems are better suited to year-round supply. For example, Deepdale Trees notes that Air-Pot® container grown hedging can be supplied all year round, plus the system helps develop a fibrous root structure that supports water and nutrient absorption. This also helps reduce transplant shock, so you need more certainty with your supplied stock, ask us what is available year round and what lead times are, especially for large quantities or specific heights.
