Border hedging is a simple and effective way to bring structure and definition into the garden. Whether you’re outlining pathways, separating areas, framing flower beds, or creating formal designs. They create beautiful low dense hedges which can transform the look of your garden and can help to break your garden into manageable sections. We have some perfect options for you to create some

Buxus Sempervirens (Box)

A classic favourite, Box is ideal for creating neat, formal lines and crisp garden borders. The small leaves and compact growth makes it perfect for clipping and shaping into low, dense hedges that provide structure all year round. Also great for shaping into balls or topiary to bring something unique to your garden.

Lavender

For something softer and more colourful, Lavender makes a beautiful border hedge. It fills your garden with gorgeous scent and stunning flowers throughout the summer months which wildlife just love! Lavender is perfect for pathways, and gives a lovely cottage-style feel to your garden.

Ilex Crenata (Box Holly) & Euonymus ‘Jean Hughes’

Two brilliant alternatives to Box, are Ilex crenata and Jean Hughes. Both slow growing evergreen plants with small glossy leaves and create tidy, dense hedging with a very similar appearance to Box while being super resistance to diseases.

Taxus Baccata (Yew)

Yew is a more native option for border hedging. Dense, evergreen, and incredibly long-lasting, Yew provides excellent structure and responds well to trimming, making it ideal for formal gardens and defined borders.
