High Hedge Plants up to 8m high

A Practical Solution For Tall Screening

When privacy, structure and year-round greenery are required, standard hedging doesn’t always go high enough. For projects that require screening above a standard fence height, high hedge plants offer a practical and flexible solution. At Practicality Brown, we specialise in mature hedging that delivers immediate results, from our renowned Practical Instant Hedge™ to a wide range of taller individual hedging plants.

What Are Hedging Plants?

High hedge plants are supplied as individual, fully feathered plants, making them ideal for creating tall garden boundaries or extending the height of existing hedges. Available in sizes ranging from approximately 2 metres up to an impressive 8 metres, they provide instant presence and structure, without waiting years for small plants to grow to the required height.

They are particularly useful where above fence height is needed to screen out an unwanted view or to replace felled trees etc.

Why Choose Individual High Hedge Plants?

Individual high hedge plants are a popular choice for both private gardens and larger landscape schemes thanks to their versatility and reliability. Key benefits include:

Immediate height and screening, perfect for privacy and shelter
Dense, fully feathered growth from ground level upwards
Flexible planting options, ideal for irregular spaces or tailored designs

They can be used to fill gaps, raise the height of an existing hedge, or create striking standalone screens that define and soften outdoor spaces.

Thuja plicata ‘Excelsa’ – The Most Popular Choice for High Hedges

Thuja plicata ‘Excelsa’ is our most popular choice for high evergreen hedging, valued for its reliability, appearance and performance.

With rich green foliage and a strong upright habit, Thuja ‘Excelsa’ delivers excellent year-round screening and responds well to regular trimming. It maintains density even at height, making it particularly well suited for privacy screening.

Combining High Hedge Plants with Practical Instant Hedge™

For a number of projects, the best results come from combining solutions. Practical Instant Hedge™ provides immediate maturity and structure in easy-to-plant 1-metre sections for heights up to 2m, while individual high hedge plants allow you to introduce extra height if required.

This flexible approach ensures a hedge that looks established from day one, while meeting the exact requirements of your garden or landscape.

We are also Plant Healthy Certified!
