Want privacy from the neighbours or to hide an ugly fence or bin store — without waiting years for a real hedge to grow? Artificial hedging gives you an instant, evergreen screen that stays neat and green all year, needs no trimming or watering, and works even where real plants would never thrive. Here is how to use it.
Instant, year-round screening
A living hedge takes years to fill in and drops its density in winter. Artificial hedging arrives fully lush and stays that way in every season — the moment it is up, your screening is done. It is ideal for overlooked patios, balconies and boundaries where you want privacy now, not in five years.
Cover fences, walls and eyesores
Attach hedging panels or rolls directly to fence panels, walls or trellis to transform a tired boundary into a green backdrop. It is also perfect for concealing bin stores, air units, oil tanks and other necessary eyesores behind a natural-looking screen.
Choose UV-stabilised for the outdoors
Since hedging lives outside in full exposure, always choose UV-stabilised designs , which are guaranteed against fading for 1 year. Non-UV foliage will fade quickly outdoors.
Fitting is straightforward
Most hedging comes as panels or expandable trellis that fix with screws, staples or cable ties. Overlap the edges and alternate the foliage direction for a seamless, natural finish, and trim to size with strong snips. A batten frame gives the most secure mount on uneven surfaces.
Privacy without the upkeep
Once fitted, artificial hedging asks nothing of you — no clipping, feeding or gaps to fill. Just instant greenery. Explore hedging and green wall panels for screening, with free UK delivery over £30.
