im in faversham, kent and not sure what the cost will be and where to get the species from, can anyone help please

 

Its a very big garden

Grows quick but not much maintenance, sounds like a fence to me:001_tongue:

...but seriously, Stuff that grows quick needs annual maintenance Laurel, conifer etc, stuff that grows slow needs less maintenance.

i think they want something traditional but not sure where to buy, its looking more like hawthorn, cheers 4the witty reply

Go to a local supplier and ask for a pack of mixed native hedging tell them the quantity and sizes and you won t go wrong. Have done this loads of times and the hedges look great. Because of the variety of species it will attact all manor of wildlife customer love that sort of thing.
