Choosing the Right Hedging for Garstang Gardens
Garstang lies within a predominantly rural landscape where hedging forms an important part of traditional field boundaries, gardens and the wider countryside.
Properties around Garstang vary from established village gardens and residential developments to more exposed agricultural holdings and larger country properties.
Soil conditions vary between individual sites. Some gardens have heavier, moisture-retentive ground, while others have more free-draining soils or areas of disturbed ground associated with construction work.
In lower-lying areas, drainage can be particularly important. More exposed rural boundaries may also experience stronger winds than sheltered village gardens.
Hedging Species for Different Conditions
Hornbeam is useful for many heavier soils and can form a well-defined formal hedge.
Hawthorn is a traditional native choice for rural boundaries and wildlife-friendly hedgerows.
English Yew provides dense evergreen screening where drainage is suitable.
Green Beech offers attractive seasonal foliage and is particularly useful for clipped hedges on suitable well-drained sites.
Plant selection should consider soil drainage, exposure, available planting width, required hedge height and future maintenance.
Our Hedge Selector can help compare species according to growing conditions and intended use.
