Hedging
Hedging is one of the most effective ways to shape your garden while adding long-term value. At Trees Direct, we offer a carefully selected range of hedging plants to suit different needs, whether you’re after privacy, structure, or simply a more natural boundary. Hedges are ideal for reducing wind, softening noise, and providing a fabulous green backdrop that looks good all year round.
You’ll find a mix of native hedgerows in our collection including evergreen hedging for screening, and colourful plants like Photinia ‘Red Robin’ or Escallonia that bring seasonal interest. Many of our hedging options also support birds, bees, and other wildlife and helps to restore natural habitats while also giving your garden a more established feel.

Hedges bring a softer, more natural feel to your garden than fencing. They reduce noise, help block wind and provide shelter for wildlife. Once established, they’re low-maintenance and often cheaper in the long run. You also get seasonal interest and greenery all year, which fencing can’t offer.
If privacy’s the goal, go for something dense and reliable. Leylandii grows fast and offers strong coverage, while Privet is great for neat, manageable hedges. Photinia ‘Red Robin’ adds colour as well as screening. For a slower-growing option, Box tree hedging creates a tidy look and holds its shape well.
Yes, especially native mixed hedgerows. They offer food and shelter for birds, pollinators, and small mammals. If you’re trying to bring more life into your garden, hedging does far more than a fence ever could.
It really depends on the plant. Leylandii and Privet are quick to fill out. Yew and Box take their time but reward you with a dense, classic hedge. You’ll find growth rates and care tips on each product page to help you plan.
Autumn through to early spring is ideal, especially if you’re using bare root hedging packs. The roots settle in more easily during cooler months, giving the plants a better start come spring.
