Some sites really do need a hedge in a hurry — and this new build on a busy corner was definitely one of them. Even the artist’s impression showed a lush green boundary, so there was no question a Living Walls™ – Hedges In A Hurry instant hedge would be part of the plan.
With help from a landscape contracting company, our clients installed the hedge to instantly transform their property. In just one day, the bare boundary became a lush, living wall — providing privacy, softening the streetscape, and adding serious street appeal.
The architect's vision for this new build on a busy corner site in Auckland's St Heliers,
House built. Site prepped. Hedge on its way. The landscapers installed a mowing strip (the wooden edge) at the request of the homeowners. Please note, this isn't a requirement — but if you want one, install it before planting your hedge and keep it shallow (10cm or less).
Landscapers on site and instant hedges delivered — ready to transform this newly built house into a home.
Our instant hedges are grown and supplied in one-metre lengths.
Hedge installation in full swing. Remove hedge from bag and set in place.
