- Hedge Planting
Featured project: Michelle Frost's large-scale hedge planting
One of our most impressive recent projects was for Michelle Frost, which included:
- Planting, mulching, and managing 500 metres of hedge plants
- Supply and plant service for native species suited to East Anglia’s climate
- Complete soil preparation and improvement before planting
- Installation of protection against wildlife damage
- Ongoing maintenance plan to ensure healthy growth
This was a fully organic site, requiring special attention to weed management without chemicals. As seen in our project video, we applied an extensive mulch layer to naturally suppress competing grass and weeds, demonstrating our commitment to environmentally-friendly planting techniques.
The hedges are now establishing well, with our team providing regular maintenance visits. Michelle’s project demonstrates that it’s not just about the planting when it comes to having a healthy, thriving hedge.

Frequently asked questions
Contact Anglian Land Services today to discuss your needs. We’re happy to offer free advice, site visits, and no-obligation quotes.
For bare root hedge planting, the ideal time is between November and March, when plants are dormant. This gives them time to establish roots before the growing season starts.
Most hedges start to look established after 2-3 growing seasons. The exact time depends on the species, planting conditions, and care given. Instant hedge options provide immediate visual impact, while bare root hedges take longer but are more cost-effective. With our maintenance packages, you can expect faster and stronger establishment.
Yes, our hedge planting services include tailored maintenance plans. These can include regular watering, weeding, feeding, and pruning to ensure your hedge develops properly and stays healthy for years to come. Our tree planting services also include similar aftercare options.
Costs vary depending on the hedge type, length, site conditions, and whether you choose bare root plants or instant hedge options.
