Great hedging plants and fantastic customer service. Support your independents - they are the best!
This is how you run a proper company with excellent customer care. I had a little issue that was sorted out promptly and professionally. Would highly recommend this business 100%
Easy to order on line. Very healthy plants delivered within two days.
Excellent service from hedging plants direct. Answered two queries within hours, delivered when they said they would with good selection of plants. Some bare rooted plants haven’t taken and are being replaced without question. Thoroughly recommend.
Great value for lovely healthy plants
Gwynne and team have done an amazing job planting trees, bay laurel and cherry laurel hedging in our garden near Colchester. 1st class company and I'll be going back for more hedges in the autumn. Thanks Gwynne, the hedges look great.
Excellent quality plants. Very healthy and good size and form. Carefully packaged, delivered promptly and with a plant passport. Would recommend.
Easy to use website with plenty of choices at good prices. I ordered several bare root plants and all were delivered as expected and in a very healthy condition. Only time will tell if they are successful once planted but, I see no reason why they should fail.
Based on my experience I would definitely recommend Hedging Plants Direct and expect to use them again soon.

Root ball hedging gives you larger, more established plants through autumn and winter, pot grown hedge plants can be planted all year round, and instant hedging gives you a finished hedge from the day it goes in.
Our most popular hedges include evergreen Cherry Laurel and Portuguese Laurel for fast privacy, English Yew for formal hedges, Photinia Red Robin for colour, Beech and Hornbeam for classic deciduous hedges, and native mixed hedging for wildlife.

Hedging Q&A
Quick answers from our nursery team to the questions we are asked most.
All hedging questions & answersIt depends on what you want the hedge to do. For year-round privacy, Cherry Laurel and Portuguese Laurel are the most popular evergreen choices. English Yew makes the smartest formal hedge, while Beech, Hornbeam and native mixes suit traditional and wildlife-friendly boundaries.
Green Leylandii is the fastest growing hedge we sell, followed by Cherry Laurel, Privet and Photinia. Cherry Laurel typically adds 30 to 60cm a year once established. See all our fast growing hedge plants.
Bare root hedging is planted while the plants are dormant, from late autumn to early spring. Root ball plants are planted through autumn and winter, and pot grown hedging can be planted at any time of year as long as it is kept watered. Our guide shows you how to plant a hedge step by step.
Slower growing evergreens such as English Yew, Portuguese Laurel and Euonymus usually need only one trim a year to stay neat. Browse our slow growing hedge plants.
As a guide, plant 3 to 5 bare root plants per metre, or 2 to 3 root ball or pot grown plants per metre, depending on the plant and how quickly you want the hedge to fill in. If you are unsure, ask our nursery team.
Bare root plants are lifted from the field without soil and are the best value. Root ball plants are lifted with their soil wrapped in hessian, giving larger plants. Pot grown plants are grown in containers and can be planted all year. Read hedging root types explained.
