Hedge planting and irrigation installation services.
Replacing an overgrown Privet hedge in Esher with this mature 2m Yew hedge.
Tree and hedge planting is a significant section of our work load. We love planting because it gives an immediate positive impact. A new hedge immediately becomes habitat for all different varieties of wildlife while, at the same time, giving you much needed privacy and screening. We’ve been planting what we grow for well over 10 years now and are now regularly maintaining some of the hedges we originally grew and planted!
Our wide range of experience means we can usually find a way of getting your new hedge safely in place even in harder to reach areas or challenging ground conditions. We won’t cut corners in our work so will take whatever time is necessary to finish the job to a high standard.
On this page you’ll see some of our past jobs. Browse through and let us know if we can help you with something similar. Give us a call to discuss or pop us over an email.
When we give you a quote for planting our quote will be inclusive of everything needed for the plants to develop into healthy, mature trees and hedges. We provides the stakes and ties where needed along with fertiliser and compost.
Along with the basic essentials we can also supply and install fully automatic irrigation systems. These are put together with horticultural grade materials so you can be sure they will do the job well for years to come.
If you choose to plant our evergreen hedging yourself we can supply everything you need; stakes, fertiliser, compost and advice!

Irrigation
Here at English Hedging we have experience with the high quality irrigation systems used on plant nurseries and have become aware that many of our customers end up with sub-par irrigation systems because of a lack of knowledge. With some basic information such as the number and size of plants, distances along the hedge or between trees, and distance to water source we can easily put together a quote for irrigation systems that will deliver exactly the right amount of water to your plants. We supply automatic irrigation timers and even wifi and bluetooth controlled units.
In our experience, around 90% of plant failures during the first year are due to watering issues. With a properly set up dripper based irrigation system you’ll avoid those issues and make sure that your plants establish well and with minimal issues. This is because a dripper system delivered exactly the right amount of water to exactly the right place, the rootball or pot. We supply pre-built irrigation systems which we can post to you, or we can come and install the system and check everything is working properly.
