Applications for Your Property
Boundary Fences
Create natural, living boundaries that define property lines, provide privacy, and add aesthetic appeal. Our bare root hedging establishes into dense, effective barriers that are far more attractive than traditional fencing.

Planting and Care Guide
When to Plant
The ideal planting season for bare root hedging in Tyne and Wear is from November to March, when plants are dormant. This allows roots to establish before spring growth begins.
Planting Instructions
- Prepare the ground by removing weeds and improving soil with organic matter
- Dig a trench approximately 30cm wide and deep
- Space plants 30-45cm apart for a dense hedge (3-4 plants per metre)
- Plant at the same depth as they were growing in the field
- Firm in well and water thoroughly after planting
- Apply mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture
- Protect from rabbits and livestock if necessary
Aftercare Tips
- Water during dry spells in the first growing season
- Trim lightly in the first few years to encourage bushy growth
- Maintain weed-free base for best establishment
- Apply annual mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds
