Expert Tree Care. Meticulous by Nature.

Tree & Hedge Planting

Tree and hedge planting plays an important role in shaping landscapes, replacing removed trees, and supporting long-term environmental and visual objectives. When carried out correctly, planting establishes strong foundations for healthy growth and sustainable management.

At Oakhurst Arboriculture, planting work is approached with careful consideration of site conditions, species suitability, and intended outcomes. Each project is assessed individually to ensure planting is appropriate, proportionate, and successful.

About this Service

For Alex and the team, successful tree and hedge planting begins with choosing the right species for the right place. Soil conditions, available space, light, surroundings and future growth are all carefully considered so that every tree or hedge not only looks right when planted, but continues to thrive for years to come.

Whether planting a single specimen tree, replacing a lost tree or creating a new hedge, the team takes care of every stage—from selecting quality stock and preparing the ground to planting, staking, protection and practical aftercare advice. It is the same considered Oakhurst approach: careful planning, meticulous workmanship and giving every new tree or hedge the best possible start.

Benefits of Professional Tree & Hedge Planting

  • The right species is selected for the soil, setting and available space.

  • Careful preparation gives new trees and hedges the best opportunity to establish and thrive.

  • Thoughtful positioning helps prevent future conflict with buildings, boundaries and services.

  • Trees and hedges can provide privacy, shelter, shade and natural screening.

  • Well-chosen planting adds structure, character and long-term value to a garden or estate.

  • New planting supports local wildlife and helps preserve the landscape for future generations.

Our approach to tree and hedge planting is practical, informed, and focused on long-term success rather than short-term appearance.

This includes:

  • Assessment of soil conditions, exposure, and drainage

  • Appropriate species selection for location and purpose

  • Correct planting techniques to support establishment

  • Installation of suitable supports and protection

  • Advice on aftercare and ongoing maintenance

All planting work is carried out with an understanding of future growth, management requirements, and landscape context.

Successful planting depends not only on correct installation, but also on appropriate species selection and aftercare. We provide guidance on suitable species, spacing, and management to ensure trees and hedges establish well and develop as intended.

Where required, we can also advise on ongoing maintenance to support healthy growth in the early years following planting.

Our Approach

Why work with Oakhurst?

Planting is a long-term investment in your garden or landscape, and the decisions made at the beginning can shape it for decades. Alex and the team combine arboricultural knowledge with practical experience to recommend trees and hedges that suit the soil, available space, surroundings and the result you hope to achieve—not simply what looks good on the day it is planted.

Every stage is handled with the same meticulous care, from selecting quality stock and preparing the ground to planting at the correct depth, securing and protecting each plant, and providing clear aftercare advice. It is a thoughtful, professional approach designed to give every new tree and hedge the strongest possible start.
