Instant hedges are a practical solution when you need privacy, screening, structure or a defined boundary straight away.
The Benefits
Unlike traditional hedges that take years to mature, instant hedge planting involves pre-grown and expertly maintained hedges that reach a desired height and density. Our instant hedges are specially cultivated by our sister company, Hortlands Nursery, to ensure a robust root system that can be carefully lifted and transplanted into your garden with minimal disruption. This allows you to enjoy the beauty and benefits of a mature hedge immediately.
Instant Privacy & Screening
Hortlands’ instant hedge planting provides an immediate privacy barrier, blocking unwanted views and creating a secluded haven in your garden.
Reduced Noise Pollution
Flourishing hedges act as a natural sound barrier, effectively dampening noise from traffic or busy streets.
Enhanced Curb Appeal
A mature hedge adds instant sophistication and beauty to your property, boosting curb appeal.
Fast Results, Minimal Effort
Forget years of waiting and meticulous care. Instant hedge planting delivers established results without the long wait or ongoing maintenance in younger hedges.
Instant hedges are a practical solution when you need privacy, screening, structure or a defined boundary straight away. Supplied as fully established hedge plants, they provide an immediate finished appearance while continuing to develop and thicken naturally after planting.
Whether you are looking to screen neighbouring properties, create privacy around a garden, define the boundary of a new development or add structure to a formal landscape, our experienced planting team can recommend the right hedge for your site.
