The main benefit of planting our evergreen hedging is to create and define boundaries within gardens and outdoor spaces. Hedges such are our cherry laurels Prunus laurocerasus and Photinia Red Robin provide shelter and visual privacy as well as green backdrops without the hard features of fencing. They can be used to screen eye sores, unsightly building features, roads or neighbouring property gardens. Whilst, hedge planting can take up more room than a fence, they provide a green oasis for local wildlife, nesting for birds and mammals and flowers, fruit and nectar for bees and insects. In urban areas and new build developments, the dense cover and vegetation provided by evergreen hedges and conifers such as Thuja Western Red Cedar, Thuja Brabant and Leylandii trap pollutants and help to clean the air where gardens and properties are next to roadways and congested traffic. Evergreen hedges such as our Ligustrum Privet and Box Buxus sempervirens can be shaped into topiary patterns or regularly trimmed to create dense evergreen screening with added visual interest and year round winter structure.
Yes, at Norley Road Garden Nurseries Limited Plant Nursery, we are passionate about providing our customers with the most beautiful and unique plants. By planting our hedging and trees you a creating a worthwhile long-term investment in you garden and property. Initially, it is important to understand your current garden soil quality, texture and structure. For example, is your garden soil a waterlogged clay, free draining sandy structure or a healthy dark brown black loam? When the hedge is planted will it face into sun, shade, partial shade, north or south facing? These key aspects will impact your hedge plant selection and affect how vigorously the plant will grow and reach the desired height to attain the screening or privacy benefits desired. It is also important to consider leaf colour and texture, for example the dark glossy green leaves of common laurel Prunus laurocerasus are a favourite in Cheshire gardens, as is the dense conifer foliage of Western Red Cedars Thuja plicata. Sometimes, it is worthwhile planting a mixed evergreen and native hedgerow including different height forms in a staggered row such as low growing Box Buxus sempervirens and native Holly Ilex aquifolium or Ilex Blue Angel. For instant impact, we recommended our container grown common laurel hedging and our conifer species Thuja occidentalis Brabant White Cedar, as well as our specimen Green Leylandii Leyland Cypress, which have a very fast growth rate up to 3 feet per year in ideal growing conditions, which makes it perfect for screening and reducing noise from roads and neighbours.
Our wide selection of plants, from vibrant flowers to lush trees and shrubs, will help you create the garden of your dreams. For blocking unsightly neighbouring buildings or blots on your landscape views, a fast growing evergreen hedge such our Cherry Laurels Prunus laurocerasus are recommended. Evergreen hedges provide permanent structure and year round interest even in the bleak Cheshire winters. Whilst deciduous hedges lose their leaves in winter, evergreen plants and trees always provide a green backdrop and oasis in your garden.
