Twining Valley Nurseries

About

Here at New Zealand's only comprehensive instant hedge nursery, we've grown your hedge for you.

Living Walls™ instant hedges and pleached screens provide structure and privacy and enhance landscape projects throughout New Zealand. Grown and sold in metre lengths, instant hedges come in a wide assortment of varieties, and four product ranges - Pleached Screen at 2.2m high, Living Screen from 1m high (can grow to 1.8m and beyond), Living Boundary up to 1.2m high, and Living Edge up to 500mm high. Hedges can be maintained at the purchased height or grown taller, as required.

Twining Valley’s hedge varieties include natives and exotics in a range of textures and colours, including a number of flowering and scented options. Some varieties have foliage that changes colour with the seasons.

As Twining Valley Nurseries is a production nursery only, we do not provide an installation/landscaping service. You can either install your new Living Walls™ instant hedge yourself, following our detailed installation guides, or employ a local landscape contractor to do it for you. The instant hedges and pleached screens are grown in specially designed planter bags which can be readily lifted for transporting around your site. Some hedge varieties are also suitable for container planting, for use on balconies and decks.

Testimonials

“For some reason, we thought instant hedging was going to be HEAPS more expensive - this is fantastic.”

Nadine - Auckland

“I contacted Twining Valley Nurseries because I was looking for good quality plants with a special instant effect.

My clients were very taken with the idea of using Living walls hedges in strategic areas throughout the garden. One part involved using Living Wall hedges for the screening of sheds and the garage. By the front entrance, we decided to use the instant hedges to create visual effect. The Box hedges framed the patio beautifully.

In all areas the result was stunning. All tradesmen working on the site, our clients and any of their visitors were very impressed. It resulted in a complete transformation of the house site.

The team at Twining Valley Nurseries was outstanding. They were always available to give sound advice and recommendations. Delivery times and quality of plant material was excellent.

I recommend Living Walls to anyone who loves hedges or formal gardens. Anyone who is unsure of which type of plants to use will find the team at Twining Valley very helpful in giving suggestions involving the huge variety of plants they have available.

Thank you so much for making my work look so good.”

Micha Mahler, Living Landscapes - Auckland

“I was really pleased with the Camellia Setsugekka hedge. The day it went in it was flowering, giving real establishment to a brand new garden.

Customers immediately see the complete result of their landscape planting…it’s the hedging equivalent of roll out lawn. The applications are endless.”

Simon Farrell, Terragona Landscape Contractors - Auckland

“I was looking for a solution to instantly add privacy for a client with a new home in a subdivision where solid fences higher than one metre where not permitted. The 1.8m high hedging that I purchased from Twining Valley was of outstanding quality, the service and advice provided couldn't have been better, the new garden looked more established and I believe the hedging was great value for money. I recommend Living Walls to anyone who is looking for a hedge or screen whether it is very low or two metres tall. The product is cost effective and looks brilliant.

I have a very happy client, which is from my perspective what matters to me most.”

Lynn Cairney, Fusion Landscape Design Ltd - Auckland

“I was looking for a solution to address privacy concerns for a number of our clients. I found the team at Twining Valley Nurseries to be quick off the bat and very helpful.

I recommend Living Walls to anyone who just can’t wait or needs good “bones” to define their landscape.

Nothing else cuts the mustard when it comes to providing a sure fire, healthy, established “soft” option when it comes to highlighting, screening and defining areas in our clients’ landscapes.”

Kim Horgan, All About Landscapes - Auckland

"I have to admit that I sniggered when I saw the Living Walls advertisement in a magazine...great idea, great humour, I thought, what are the prices like! The prices are definitely comparable, the selection great and the service prompt and friendly.

All photographs are clear and crisp giving a true taste of the different varieties of hedging on offer...a must when showing clients.

Planting metres of 'Living Walls' is as satisfying as building in Lego...fits perfectly and looks superb!"

Clare Smith Stevens, Singing Spaces - Wellington
