Conifer hedging for evergreen privacy and structure

Conifer hedging is a popular choice for creating dense, evergreen boundaries that provide year-round privacy and shelter. This collection allows you to compare the main conifer hedge types before choosing the most suitable option for your garden.

Why choose conifer hedging?

• Suitable for a wide range of garden sizes

Different conifer hedges suit different priorities. The most commonly used options include:

• Leylandii – very fast growing, ideal for rapid privacy and screening
• Thuja – dense, uniform growth with a softer, more refined appearance

How tall can conifer hedging grow?

Conifer hedges can be maintained at a range of heights depending on species and pruning:

• 150–200cm – boundary hedging and screening
