Choosing Hedging for Accrington Gardens
Accrington includes established residential neighbourhoods, traditional terraced properties, larger gardens and countryside-edge locations.
The surrounding East Lancashire landscape includes elevated and exposed ground, while sheltered gardens within the town may offer quite different growing conditions.
Soils vary between properties. Some gardens contain heavier, moisture-retentive ground, while others have improved topsoil, made ground or more freely draining conditions.
Before selecting a hedge, consider drainage, available planting width, exposure, sunlight, required privacy height and future maintenance access.
Matching Hedging to the Site
Heavier soils: Hornbeam can tolerate many heavier soil conditions, provided the ground does not remain waterlogged.
Formal evergreen privacy: English Yew provides dense, long-lived screening where soil drainage is suitable.
Traditional boundaries: Green Beech offers attractive foliage and a classic clipped appearance in suitable conditions.
Native planting: Hawthorn provides a practical traditional boundary with wildlife value.
Our Hedge Selector can help narrow the options according to growing conditions, preferred characteristics and purpose.

New Garden Landscapes

Hedge Planting on Sloping and Exposed Ground
Some properties around Accrington and the surrounding East Lancashire hills have sloping gardens or boundaries exposed to prevailing winds.
These conditions may affect plant selection, planting methods, irrigation and the size of hedging used.
Sloping Gardens
Planting positions, soil stability, access and water movement should be considered when establishing hedges on a gradient.
Wind Exposure
Young hedging plants may require appropriate protection and aftercare in exposed locations, particularly during establishment.
Where soil is compacted or poorly drained, ground preparation and drainage assessment are particularly important before planting.
Bare-Root and Rootballed Hedging in Accrington
We supply hedging in a range of sizes and stock types, subject to species and seasonal availability.
Bare-Root Hedging
Bare-root plants offer a practical option for longer boundaries, native hedgerows and larger planting schemes.
Planting normally takes place during the dormant season when ground conditions permit.
Rootballed Hedging
Rootballed hedging is often selected where larger initial plant sizes and more immediate screening are required.
Availability is generally from mid-October to late April, weather permitting.
Container-grown hedging may also be available outside the dormant season, provided adequate watering and establishment conditions can be maintained.
