Choosing the Right Hedge

If you are not sure which hedge is best for your garden or most suited to your needs, take a look at our useful plant guides. These are designed to help you make an easy and informed choice from our huge range of hedging plants.

Bare Root Hedging

Bare root hedging plants are field-grown and lifted from the ground in the dormant season (November-April), and the soil is shaken from the roots. Characterised by a strong stem and robust root system, these are hardy hedging plants that can handle being transported without soil and compost. 

The height of these hedging plants will vary depending on the species and age, but they typically range from 20/30cm up to 175/200cm in height when delivered to our customers. 

If you need hedging from November-April, this is the most cost-efficient and environmentally friendly hedging option to choose. We have a range of bare root hedging options available here at Hopes Grove Nurseries – explore the range below.

Potted Hedging

Pot grown hedge plants are convenient and easy; they can be planted at any time of year, and there is no root disturbance, so they generally establish and grow away quickly. Potted Hedging arrives in individual plant pots that protect the roots until they can be planted out.

When you need a quick and convenient hedging option, potted hedges are the perfect solution. Here at Hopes Grove Nurseries, we grow a vast range of potted hedging plants in all shapes, sizes and varieties. Explore our range below and contact us for more information.

Rootball Hedging

If you need fully matured hedge plants, buying rootballed hedging is the way to go. With root ball hedges, you can get larger, bushier hedging plants at great value, which can be planted right away for full and impressive hedges. 

We offer a wide range of root ball hedges at Hopes Grove Nurseries – explore the options below, and if you’d like more information on Rootball Hedging, just scroll to the bottom of the page. 

What is Rootball Hedging? 

Root ball hedges are larger and older hedge plants, grown outside at extra wide spacings for several years until they’re ready to be shipped. A specialist root balling machine is then used to cut a ball of earth around the root system, which is then wrapped in plastic or hessian. 

Larger plants struggle to survive being shipped bare root, so this is a clever way to protect the roots until the hedge can be transplanted. Root ball hedges are regularly trimmed and maintained by our team to keep them full and bushy, so they arrive ready to plant.
