Hedging


The most common purpose for planting a hedge is to section or screen off two areas from one another; providing a barrier.

This will frequently be between the boundaries of two properties, or between areas of a site, development or car park. In many cases the screening is required from ground level, to a specified height. Hedges are usually then maintained at the specified height and width.

The traditional misconception when striving to achieve success planting a hedge is that the plants used must be planted at a small size (i.e. as a feathered whip). This is not necessarily the case, as although planting small plants may be the cheapest option, it is not the only solution!  Planting more mature feathered specimens is equally as effective and has the advantage that a full screen and maximum height can be achieved instantly.

At Barcham we may not specialise in producing hedging plants, however despite this we do have a very good range of species that are particularly suited to producing an instant and impressive hedging screen, both deciduous and evergreen:

  • Carpinus betulus
  • Cupressocyparis leylandii
  • Fagus sylvatica
  • Prunus laurocerasus Rotundifolia
  • Taxus baccata

If you require your hedging to provide a higher level screen, a raised hedge may be the answer.
