This newly completed home on a busy corner needed privacy, green structure and a finished boundary from the start.
The architect’s impression already showed an established hedge as part of the finished design. Traditional hedge planting would have started with a row of separate plants and years of waiting for them to grow together.
Living Walls™ offered another way.
Supplied as fully formed one-metre hedge lengths, the hedge was ready for the landscape contractor to install. In one day, the exposed boundary became a continuous green screen, providing immediate privacy and helping the new landscape feel established.
We’ve grown your hedge for you.
The finished design already included an established green boundary.
Rather than waiting years for separate plants to grow together, the clients chose a Living Walls™ instant hedge to realise that part of the design from the start.
House complete. Landscape ready to catch up.
With the house complete and the boundary still exposed, the prepared beds were ready for the hedge.
Fully formed hedge lengths arrive ready to install.
Living Walls™ are grown and shaped at the nursery in one-metre lengths before being delivered to site.
One-metre hedge lengths – already grown as a hedge.
The hedge lengths are removed from their bags and positioned in the prepared trench.
Each hedge length is positioned so the foliage meets the next, creating a continuous hedge along the boundary.
Once positioned, the hedge lengths are backfilled and watered.
The timber edge shown here was added by the homeowners as a mowing strip. It is not required for Living Walls™ installation.
A previously open corner becomes a defined green boundary.
The same one-metre hedge lengths continue beside the driveway.
Immediate screening along the driveway, without waiting for separate plants to grow together.
The tall Living Screen™ hedge creates privacy and enclosure around the outdoor living area.
The completed hedge softens the architecture, screens the exposed boundary and helps the new landscape feel established from day one.
Traditional hedge planting begins with individual plants spaced along a boundary.
Living Walls™ arrive as fully formed hedge lengths. One hedge length is installed per linear metre, with the foliage positioned to meet, creating a continuous hedge from the day it is installed.
Watch as the landscape contractors install the Living Walls™ instant hedge featured in this project, from delivery through to the finished green boundary.
Do I need the timber edge shown in the photos?
No. It is a shallow mowing strip chosen by the homeowners and is not required for Living Walls™ installation.
What should I add to the trench?
Nothing extra is required. The soil excavated from the trench can be used to backfill around the hedge.
Do I leave the hedge in the bags?
No. Remove the bag before installing the hedge. See our Instant Hedge Installation Guide for the full process.
