Plants for Privacy & Screening
Create a greener boundary and make your garden feel more private. Explore selected hedging and screening plants, from Portuguese laurel and Photinia to Griselinia, privet and holly.

Choose a screen that fits your garden
Decide what you need to hide and the height of the screen you want. Portuguese laurel and cherry laurel can form substantial evergreen hedges; Photinia adds colourful new growth, while holly provides a slower-growing alternative. Compare eventual height and width, planting space and pruning needs before choosing. An espalier frame can screen above a low boundary, but its roots still need room. Bring photos and measurements to our team so we can help you choose a manageable solution.
Measure the area you want to screen and check each plant’s mature dimensions before buying.
Leave room to water, trim and access the hedge. Establishment and future growth take time.
Match the plant to your soil and exposure. New hedges need watering and protection while they establish.
