Choosing the Right Hedge for Lancashire Gardens
Lancashire's gardens experience a variety of growing conditions. Sheltered residential properties in Preston, Blackburn and Chorley may have very different requirements from exposed rural gardens around the Ribble Valley, Garstang and Lancaster.
Heavy clay soils, wet winters, coastal exposure and the amount of available sunlight can all influence the success of a new hedge. Choosing a species suited to the individual planting position is essential.
Our online hedging collection includes plants for privacy, formal garden boundaries, native hedgerows and seasonal interest.
If you're unsure where to start, use our Hedge Selector to compare species according to growing conditions and your preferred hedge characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which evergreen hedge is best for Lancashire?
Yew, Portuguese Laurel and Holly can provide effective evergreen screening. The right choice depends on drainage, exposure, available space and maintenance requirements.
