PRACTICAL INSTANT HEDGE ™
A MATURE SOLUTION FOR LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS
A mature hedge can do a lot for a landscape. It can define a boundary, provide instant screening, create structure or simply make a newly planted garden feel more established. For landscape professionals, achieving that effect reliably is where Practical Instant Hedge ™ comes in.
A choice for every project Grown at Practicality Brown’ s nursery in Iver, Buckinghamshire, Practical Instant Hedge ™ is supplied in one-metre sections, with the plants grown together over several seasons to create a dense, established hedge. The range includes both evergreen and deciduous species, with a choice of heights to suit different projects and planting situations.
Hornbeam and Native Mix offer alternatives for more naturalistic or seasonal schemes. Whether the requirement is to screen a neighbouring property, define a boundary, create a garden room or provide a mature backdrop to planting, there is considerable scope within the range.
See the hedge before you specify One of the benefits of specifying an instant hedge is being able to see the finished product before it reaches the project. Professional customers and their clients are welcome to visit Practicality Brown’ s Buckinghamshire nursery by appointment. Seeing the hedges growing at scale, comparing different species and heights and discussing the requirements of a particular scheme with the nursery team can make the selection process much more straightforward.
There is considerable expertise behind the finished hedge, too. Practicality Brown has been growing and supplying instant hedging for decades, with close attention paid to plant health, growing conditions, establishment and the quality and presentation of the finished product. Its Plant Healthy certification reflects the nursery’ s ongoing commitment to responsible plant production and biosecurity.
For landscape professionals, Practical Instant Hedge ™ is more than achieving an immediate visual effect. It offers the opportunity to specify an established hedge with confidence, backed by expertise, practical nursery knowledge, and the ability to see and discuss the broad range of stock before deciding.
For clients, it can be the difference between imagining what a hedge will eventually become and seeing the character and scale of the finished landscape much sooner.
Trees too As well as Practical Instant Hedge ™, Practicality Brown has a range of evergreen screening trees and specimen deciduous trees at the nursery in Buckinghamshire. You are welcome to visit to view both trees and hedges.
