Why You need Hedges
Hedge planting typically involves the installation of a row of shrubs or small trees in order to create a natural barrier or boundary. Hedges can be used for a variety of purposes, including privacy screening, noise reduction, wind protection, and aesthetic enhancement of the landscape.
What hedge do you need?
When selecting plants for a hedge, it is important to consider factors such as the desired height and width of the hedge, the amount of sunlight and water the plants will receive, and the soil conditions of the planting site. Common plant species used for hedgerows include boxwood, yew, holly, and privet.

Tree Planting
Tree planting involves the installation of one or more trees in a specific location. Trees can provide many benefits to a landscape, including shade, wildlife habitat, erosion control, and aesthetic appeal.
When selecting trees for planting, it is important to consider factors such as the mature size of the tree, the amount of sunlight and water it requires, and any potential hazards such as falling branches or invasive root systems. Popular tree species for planting include oak, maple, birch, and dogwood.
Both hedge and tree planting services can be provided by us. We can help with site selection, plant selection, and installation to ensure that the plants thrive and provide the desired benefits to the landscape.
Our Process
The process of tree and hedge planting can vary depending on the specific site and the goals of the project. However, there are some general steps that are typically followed when planting trees or hedges.
- Site Preparation: Before planting, the site will be prepared by removing any existing vegetation or debris and tilling the soil to create a planting bed. We then evaluate to ensure that it has adequate drainage, sunlight, and soil nutrients for the plants being installed.
- Plant Selection: The selection of plants for the project is an important step in the process. Plants should be chosen based on factors such as their mature size, growth rate, and environmental requirements.
- Planting: The plants are then installed into the prepared planting bed. For trees, a hole is typically dug to the appropriate depth and width to accommodate the root ball of the tree. For hedges, a trench is dug to accommodate the row of plants.
- Mulching: Once the plants are installed, a layer of mulch is applied to the soil around the base of the plants. Mulch helps to retain moisture in the soil and suppresses weed growth.
- Watering and Care: Newly planted trees and hedges require regular watering to ensure that they establish well. Proper care, such as pruning and fertilization, is also important to promote healthy growth and development of the plants.
- Maintenance: Regular maintenance is required to ensure the long-term success of the planting project. This may include pruning, watering, fertilizing, and pest control measures as needed.
