Evergreen Screening Choices

We have a range of evergreen solutions that offer excellent privacy screening, with their year-round retained foliage. They can serve as windbreaks and even act as a useful security barrier for unwanted visitors.

Evergreen Espalier Screens

Our range of evergreen screening now includes espalier screens. These evergreens are grown on strong, narrow frames using several plants in each trough to create full coverage over the framework, from soil level up. Lightweight, simple and easy to install, they are ideal for flexible screening.

The support of the framework allows the plants to grow tall and wide without needing the depth of an Instant Hedge, making them ideal for planting situations where space or time is at a premium. Whether you want to screen out the garden shed, hide the recycling bins or be imaginative by creating rooms in your garden, these narrow screens offer many options.

Our Best Evergreen Screens

There are many evergreen screen varieties available, each with different foliage, features and attributes. These allow you to create a look to fit your garden design, even if you need privacy most in shady areas. We have a variety of species available, both traditional hedging species and newer varieties too.

Leylandii is valued for its fast growth habit, sturdy constitution, and dense, evergreen foliage which provides an effective screen. The key for this vigorous grower is regular pruning during the growing season of spring to late summer.
