Improving biodiversity

Our laurel hedges are a great alternative to instant hedging as they are fast growing and can form a hedge very quickly.

Laurel is also valued for its ability to attract wildlife. The fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring attract bees and butterflies, contribute to the pollination of other plants in the garden.

The small black berries that follow the flowers are a source of food for birds, adding to the biodiversity of the garden ecosystem.

Easy to maintain

Well maintained laurel adapts to various soil types and climates. It is a hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and from moist to dry soils.

Not only do they provide uninterrupted privacy with its all year round foliage, laurel hedges also provide an effective and attractive barrier between your property and the surrounding area by helping to block out noise, wind, and unwanted views. They can also be shaped and trimmed to create a formal, structured look; or a more natural, organic feel. Take a look at our range of laurel plants online today.

Overall, a laurel hedge can be a great way to enhance the beauty and functionality of your garden or outdoor space.

If you are looking to grow and create a laurel hedge, you are in the right place!

You’ll need to plant the laurel shrubs or root ball plants in a line or row, making sure to space them evenly and allowing enough room for them to grow.

Once your laurel hedge is established, you’ll need to trim and maintain it regularly to keep it looking neat and tidy. This may involve pruning back the branches and foliage, as well as shaping the hedge to your desired height and width.

With proper care, a laurel hedge can provide an attractive and effective boundary for many years to come.

Here at The Laurel Tree Company, we are experts in growing hedges, especially when it comes to laurel hedging and dense evergreen hedge solutions. By choosing to purchase your laurel hedge from us, we can save you time, effort and money.
