-
Size
Conventional hedges are typically planted with small, immature plants. This can be a gamble, as the
plants may not all grow at the same rate, some may die and require replacement, they may
underperform, and they may not all be healthy once mature. InstantHedge means each plant is the same
size, the same age, high quality, and healthy.
-
Privacy
Privacy hedges typically need to be at least 6 feet tall, with no spaces between the plants. This
can take years to achieve using conventional methods. With InstantHedge, a thick, full privacy hedge
and screening plants can be installed at 6 feet tall, providing instant privacy and shaving years
off the usual required time.
-
Time
Waiting for a hedge to mature usually takes 5-6 years. With InstantHedge, a mature hedge can be
planted in one day.
-
Spacing
When planting a conventional hedge, the designer must decide how far apart to space the plants,
which then requires quite a few calculations to figure out how many plants are needed. The spaces
left at planting could take years to fill in. InstantHedge delivers pre-spaced hedges in
biodegradable, ready-to-plant boxes which are placed end to end. It is quick and easy to calculate
how many units are needed. Also, see hedges for sale.

Sustainability
InstantHedge’sready-to-plant box is more sustainablethan traditional plastic nursery pots used in
conventional installation—the biodegradablecardboard results in practically zero waste, while
recycling options for hundreds of plastic pots can be costly and time-consuming.
-
Design
Designing with InstantHedge is truly a dream compared to conventional hedges. Simply take the feet
needed, multiply by 12, and divide by 40. Even easier –call us and we will do the math for you!
Planting an InstantHedge immediately transforms a design concept into reality, with no waiting
required for the plants to mature.
-
Installation
Conventionalhedge installationisan arduous process: a variety of tools are required, from excavators
to shears, planting flags,levels, evenlandscape waste receptacles. InstantHedge streamlines
theprocess, requiring only a trenchready for planting. It was designed to be as user-friendly as
possible for small-scale operationswhile increasing efficiency for larger-scale, commercialized
installations.
-
Cost
While initial cost is typically higher using InstantHedge, the cost over time is lower than that of
a conventional hedge. When professionallymaintained, the cost of a conventional hedgeis
high—considering the irrigation, shaping, staking, and fertilizing over the course of 4-6 years
before it looks like a “finished” hedge. With InstantHedge, thatwork has already been completed for
you. The cost to maintain anInstantHedge, with its standard annual pruning, is typically very low.
InstantHedge isn’t the only way to plant a hedge, but it is the easiest, fastest, best, and most
rewarding way to plant a hedge.
