Most nutrients for the healthy growth and development of plants are provided from the upper layer of soil, so it's important that this soil is fertile with a good structure, especially for plants establishing during their first couple of growing seasons. Soil does become nutrient deficient over time and so needs to be revitalised regularly to continue providing the right nutrients and water requirements to help your plants flourish.
Hedges Direct has everything you need to give your plants a flying start and keep them thriving. We stock a full range of top soil, compost, potting and planting mixes, soil conditioner and bark to ensure that new plants and turf get the best start in life, and that established plants continue to thrive. We have selected Westland, the garden experts, as our primary brand to offer you top-quality products for your garden. With Westland products, you can be assured that your plants will be strong and nourished, producing vibrant blooms, lush foliage and increased fruit crops.

Root Types Summary
×
Bare Roots
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot Grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Root Ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Instant Hedging
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
