The new owner of this particular property was making a number of changes to the layout of the house and gardens after moving in. Privacy screening being a key requirement for the client, along with the desire to create a stunning overall look for the whole garden. This included areas around the driveway as well as a pond.
Our proposal included a whole range of trees and hedge including:
- a double row of 1.8 metre tall instant beech hedge
- a magnificent 4-metre multi-stem cherry tree
- a fabulous 3.5 metre high evergreen oak (Quercus Ilex)
- a 45cm girthed pin oak (Quercus palustris)
Other trees planted were thuja, yew, beech and holly.
A key feature near to the parking area of the property is a 3.5 metre high box table top plant. The design also contained some graceful planting, including Hydrangea macrophylla, Vibernum tinus and climbing roses. Quality of the product was a recurring theme during all discussions with the client, so we made sure (as we do with all plants we supply) that all of the hedges, trees and plants conform to the British standard BS3936-1:1992 as an absolute minimum specification.
Customer Feedback
“We had no idea that it was possible to plant such mature trees and plants until we met Alan from Hortlands. He guided us through all the options with great patience and expertise. What he has helped us achieve is quite remarkable and we love the fact that we have not needed to wait five years for the garden to look part of the landscape.”
