Choosing Hedging Plants for Preston Gardens
Gardens across Preston range from established residential plots in Fulwood and Penwortham to more open properties around Broughton, Lea and the surrounding countryside.
Many gardens in the area experience relatively high rainfall, and some sites have heavier soils that remain wet during winter. Soil conditions can vary considerably between properties.
When selecting a hedge, we consider soil drainage, available sunlight, wind exposure, planting space and the height required for privacy or screening.
Hornbeam is useful for many heavier soils, while English Yew can provide dense evergreen screening where drainage is suitable. Hawthorn offers a native option for rural boundaries and wildlife.
