As a British homeowner, you’ll know that having an attractive garden can add value to your property. But you may not be aware of the benefits of using instant hedges to create a mature and aesthetically pleasing garden in a fraction of the time.

Instant hedges, also known as pre-grown hedging, are a great choice for homeowners who want to create a fully mature hedge quickly and easily. These hedges consist of mature shrubs and trees that are grown in a ready-made formation in large troughs or containers. 

Quick and Easy to Plant 

The most obvious benefit of instant hedges is that they can be planted much more quickly than traditional hedging – this is because the plants are already mature and established. 

With traditional hedging, you would need to wait several years for your hedge to grow and fill out. With instant hedges, you can enjoy the benefits of a full and mature hedge almost immediately. 

All of our instant hedging is delivered to you in the troughs or bags they were grown in, and they also come in sizes larger than normal sizes, and if required 2m+ in height. The troughs are made from either firm plastic or heavy-duty hessian, both of which have handles at either end for easy manoeuvring. 

Create Privacy Quickly

Another benefit of instant hedges is that they are available in larger sizes than the standard troughs and provide a more mature screen. This means that you can enjoy the privacy of your garden almost immediately, instead of having to wait for your traditional hedge to grow. 

They can also be used to separate areas of your garden and to fill in any spaces between your plants and landscape design that might have been missed.

Easy to Maintain

Finally, instant hedges are easy to maintain. Unlike traditional hedging, which requires regular pruning and trimming, instant hedges require very little maintenance. This makes them a great choice for busy homeowners who don’t have the time to tend to a traditional hedge. Instant hedges are an excellent choice for British homeowners who want to create a beautiful and mature garden in a fraction of the time. If you’re looking to add value to your property without the hassle of traditional hedging, then instant hedges are definitely worth considering.

Order Top Quality Mature Instant Hedging

Instant hedging is cultivated in a metre-long trough and constantly maintained to offer you a strong hedge unit that has already grown together, both the leaves and roots, giving you a strong hedge with a high success rate. 

Compared to normal troughs, our Instant Hedge Units are larger and offer a more developed screen. Regular pruning of the individual plants results in blocks that, when arranged in a row, form a dense, uniformly clipped hedge.

Our quick troughs, which come in a variety of hedge species, including our most popular varieties, will look fantastic in any garden and offer gentle screening and privacy, enhancing the charm and intimacy of your space while also reducing wind and noise.

All of our instant hedge units are available all year long and are delivered in a container or trough for simple planting by two people.

HELPING YOUR LAWN WITH WINTER WEATHER AND DISEASE

One of the most essential tasks of the year is getting your grass ready for the cold winter. But it’s not only about what you do in the months leading up to it, It’s also how you keep things maintained throughout the wintertime. 

Why do you need to care for your lawn in Winter?

In the months leading up to winter, when it is tempting to put off lawn maintenance, cold, ice, snow, and ground frost can creep in and have a substantial impact on the general health of your grass. 

Maintaining your lawn is just as important during the autumn and winter as it is during the other months of the year, despite the temptation to stay indoors where It’s cosy and warm.

Winter lawn care focuses on moss control and preventing diseases that are more common in the winter caused by moist and cold conditions. If you happen to notice issues, our lawn care experts can determine the issues affecting your grass.

To assist your lawn, here are a few tips for looking after it in winter:

MOSS CONTROL

Moss control is essential over winter, it helps prevent diseases that are more common over winter due to damp conditions, and helps with hardening the grass. Without experienced assistance, moss may be very challenging to eliminate, therefore we advise enlisting the assistance of local gardeners with expertise in lawn care.

MOWING

Depending on the weather and temperature at the time, only mow the lawn if it needs it. If the ground is really moist, avoid mowing. By switching up the cut’s direction, you can encourage the grass to stand straight and improve airflow throughout the lawn.

AERATION

With a garden fork, aerate any muddy or compacted sections of lawn to alleviate compaction, enhance drainage, and allow more air into the root system, all of which will result in healthier grass.

WINTER LAWN FEEDING

A liquid treatment that targets moss, includes vital plant nutrients and can inhibit the activity of fungal diseases is applied to your lawn as part of a winter feed. If you’re unsure, our lawn care service ensures that your lawn gets the greatest care possible and has all it needs to survive the winter.
