Why Choose Hedges?

Better in every way

Living boundaries outperform fences on cost, security, ecology, climate, and beauty.

Save Thousands

30-year hedge cost: £2,000-4,000. 30-year fence cost: £6,000-12,000. The maths is simple.

Fight Climate Change

Hedges absorb 600kg CO₂/km/year. Fences emit 400kg CO₂. A 1 tonne swing in climate impact.

Real Security

Try cutting through dense hawthorn with wire snips. Thorny hedges are impenetrable and self-repairing.

Security species guide

Wildlife Haven

Built to Last

Many UK hedgerows are 800+ years old. Your fence? Maybe 15 years before it needs replacing again.
