Beech hedging: should you plant 3 or 4 plants per metre? 🌳

We get asked this every day once planting season comes around, so here’s our honest answer.

👉 For most gardens, we recommend 3 per metre (about 33cm apart, in a single row).

Why?
✅ Each plant gets more room for its roots and more light, so it grows stronger
✅ The plants aren’t fighting each other for water and nutrients
✅ You buy fewer plants and spend less, without losing the hedge you want
✅ Trimmed lightly for the first couple of years, it thickens out beautifully

Follow along for more advice tips and helpful information as we head into bare rot season.

A change of scenery does wonders for the head 🌳

In the run-up to our busy season, I’ve been taking myself out of the nursery office and over to the Station House in Hacketstown for some proper deep-dive work on the business. No “just popping out to the field”, no “just a quick question” or Rob interrupting to bring me a nice cup of tea ☕️ – just a bright, quiet room, good broadband and space to think.

It’s where the planning happens: getting our systems in shape, updating the website and making sure we’re ready to look after every customer properly when harvesting kicks off in November.

A huge thank you to Local Enterprise Office Carlow for the hot desk initiative and for bringing such a brilliant facility right to the heart of our own village. It’s a real asset to rural businesses like ours – if you run a small business locally and haven’t used it yet, it’s well worth a look.

Support local, work local 💚

And No - Rob doesn’t bring me hot cups of tea, and Yes, yes that is the laundry basket under the chair in the corner in which I carried in all my paraphernalia!!

500 Google reviews. A 5.0 rating. We're genuinely blown away. 💚
When we started out, we just wanted to grow good trees and treat people the way we'd want to be treated. Pick up the phone, give honest advice, deliver when we say we will, and stand over every plant that leaves the yard.
Reading back through your reviews, the same things come up again and again: the quality of the plants, quick delivery right around the country, and the advice and chats along the way. That's exactly what we're proud of, so thank you for noticing, and for taking the time to tell others.
To every homeowner, landscaper, farmer and business who has trusted us with their hedging and trees: thank you. You're the reason this small family nursery keeps growing. 🌳
Bare root season is just around the corner. If you're planning hedging or native trees this winter, get in touch now and we'll help you get it right.

✅ Fast growing, so you’ll have screening sooner
✅ Incredibly hardy, and it’ll grow almost anywhere
✅ Creamy white flowers in May that the pollinators love
✅ Semi-evergreen, holding its leaf and colour better as it matures
✅ Takes a trim well and bounces back
✅ Looks lovely in a cottage-style garden

Bare root season is just around the corner. It’s the best time to plant hedging, and the best value too. All our hedging is grown in our own fields in Hacketstown, Co. Carlow, lifted fresh to order and delivered nationwide.
