A privacy hedge is ideal to restrain unwanted glimpses in a property. It provides owners with a well deserved privacy, at the same time can add to the beauty of the landscape.

To get the best hedges to plant, particularly those that are fast growing privacy hedges, Greenshutters Nurseries and Plant Centre offers few of the best hedges to plant. They can grow up to good height and have lush foliage making them invariably ideal privacy hedge plants which include:

Leylandii

The Leylandii forms a garden hedge faster than anything else. As a result it is also the cheapest at larger sizes. At Greenshutters, they sell two forms of Green Leylandii, the traditional form and Leylandii 2001.

Both forms produce a dense evergreen garden hedge of any shape or size if they are trimmed well from the start. When people buy Leylendii at any of Greenshutter’s nurseries, they kept the Leylandii hedge at 120cm (4ft) tall by 45cm (18 inches) wide for 25 years.

What keeps the Leylandii advantageous to grow is that it is very hardy and wind tolerant. It can be planted in any free-draining soil in sun or partial shade and grows at a rate of up to 100cm per year.

Pyrachantha

For those who want a security barrier, the Pyrachanta makes it an excellent choice of garden hedge. This sort of hedge plant has large thorns on the branches and is a quick-growing evergreen shrub that has white hawthorn-like flowers in early summer and bright orange, red or yellow berries in autumn and winter.

Like the Leylendii, Pyracantha can be planted in free-draining soil in sun or shade and has a growth rate up to 50cm per year (3 metres tall).

These are some of the best hedges to plant if you also include the Laurel hedge. To order for any of the hedges, call Greenshutters Nurseries and Plant Centre at 01460 281265 or visit http://www.evergreenhedging.co.uk/ for further details.
