We’ve grown your hedge for you

Living Walls™ are fully formed instant hedges and pleached screens, supplied in one-metre lengths and ready to create a continuous hedge from the day they are installed.

They give landscape projects immediate structure, screening or privacy, without waiting years for small plants to grow together.

One-metre hedge lengths. A continuous hedge from day one.

More than tall plants

A hedge needs more than height. It also needs density, shape and a well-developed root system.

Each Living Walls™ hedge spends years at our nursery being grown and trimmed as a hedge, rather than as an individual plant. By the time it reaches your project, the work needed to form the hedge has already been done.

Twining Valley Nurseries has specialised in growing Living Walls™ instant hedges and pleached screens for more than 20 years.

See Living Walls™ in completed landscapes

Living Walls™ instant hedges and pleached screens have been used in residential, commercial and public landscapes throughout New Zealand.
