No, Twining Valley Nurseries is a production nursery only. You can either install your instant hedge yourself, following our PLANTING YOUR INSTANT HEDGE guides, or employ a local landscape contractor and provide them with our instructions. ⬆︎
You can employ the services of a professional landscape contractor if you wish, or you can plant your Living Walls instant hedges yourself. Bear in mind that the Living Screens can weigh around 100kg when wet, so you will need some muscle to help you move them into place, and you may want a little help with the digging too. Please see our PLANTING YOUR INSTANT HEDGE guides for detailed instructions. ⬆︎
We’re happy to pass on names of landscape contractors who have experience with our product. You can also contact a local landscaper in your area and provide them with our installation instructions, or check out www.masterlandscapers.org.nz. ⬆︎
Your Living Walls instant hedges have been growing happily in their bags for a long time now, but have had the constant care and attention of our dedicated nursery team. It is best to plant your instant hedges as soon as possible after arrival, but if there is a delay, please water your hedges deeply every few days. Remove the hedges from their bags for planting. ⬆︎
There's no time like the present! As long as you have adequate water for summer planting, and have prepared your trench well, you can plant instant hedges at any time of the year following our PLANTING YOUR INSTANT HEDGE guides. If your timing allows, autumn planting is a great time for warmer parts of the country, allowing the root system to grow and establish during the winter. And for colder areas, spring planting is great, when the air is still cool, and the transpiration rate is low. Under these conditions, the roots will grow rapidly and provide ample water for the foliage. ⬆︎
Yes we are able to hold for a reasonable period. See THE FINE PRINT for terms and conditions. ⬆︎
If left untrimmed the hedge plants will ultimately grow to their natural proportions. For example, our Living Boundary Camellia instant hedge could eventually grow to 1.8m and our Living Screen Griselinia instant hedge could grow to 5m. However, we have chosen the plant spacings within our Living Walls instant hedge ranges specifically for their intended trimmed height. As a guide, a Living Edge instant hedge is suitable for a 250 – 500mm trimmed height, a Living Boundary instant hedge between 600 – 1800mm and a Living Screen instant hedge between 1000 – 3000mm. As always, there are exceptions to this, so please Contact us if you need advice. ⬆︎
In most cases, no. However, in very windy exposed conditions, we suggest you provide temporary support (using a Waratah stake and wire on the leeward side) and perhaps reduce the height of the hedge as this will reduce the windage and give the hedge a chance to grow into and adapt to its new environment. You’ll end up with a stronger and healthier hedge in the long run. In some cases, our customers have bought fresh Living Walls instant hedges before they were fully developed. These may need temporary support in exposed situations. Pleached Screens require a support system initially. ⬆︎
It depends on the instant hedge and the dog! We’ve found from experience that nothing will contain a Jack Russell, for example. Consider placing a cheap chicken wire fence along the length of and close to your Living Walls instant hedge. The foliage will grow through the wire and conceal the fence. Some plant varieties are naturally more open at the base, so bear this in mind when choosing your instant hedge. ⬆︎
It doesn’t matter because you’re buying a metre of hedge! But since you ask, Living Edge - Small has six plants per metre, Living Edge - Large has three, the Living Boundary range has either two or three depending on variety, and Living Screen range has two. Each Pleached Screen is a single tree. ⬆︎
