  2. Don’t cut the upright shoots in winter leave until they have got leaves on
  3. Any trench you dig will become a pond, I would plant hornbeam, you can get instant hedging up to 2 m so no waiting. if they really want beech (and I’d be fairly certain that they won’t be able to tell the difference between green beech and hornbeam both keeping their leaves over winter) dig a trench with a French drain at the bottom then pack a free draining soil into the trench in layers well trodden, if you don’t compact you will leave air spaces which will fill with water then plant bare root trees and don’t be shocked if they die
