Important Notes & Customer Responsibility
These instant hedges are natural living plants, and as such, their appearance will vary seasonally.
Winter: Expect some leaf loss in deciduous varieties and reduced foliage density as plants enter dormancy. This is a natural part of their life cycle and does not indicate poor health.
Spring and Summer: With warmer temperatures, hedges will regrow leaves and fill out, displaying vibrant, dense foliage as they actively grow.
Watering and aftercare are critical for successful establishment and long-term growth. Insufficient watering, especially during dry spells or immediately after planting, can affect plant health and development. Proper aftercare includes:
Regular watering, especially during the first year
Applying a suitable fertiliser or hedge feed in early spring and mid-summer to promote healthy growth
Occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage density
Because these are living plants that respond to environmental conditions, Green-tech cannot accept returns once the plants have been delivered.
Our instant hedges provide an immediate, effective solution for screening, privacy, and boundary definition. While they offer instant coverage, please remember they are still maturing and will continue to fill out and strengthen over time with proper care. Delivery Information
All instant hedge orders are delivered on pallets via heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). To ensure a smooth delivery, please carefully review and prepare for the following:
Pallet Delivery: Your hedge will arrive on a pallet transported by an HGV.
Access Requirements: It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure there is adequate access for the delivery vehicle. This includes:
A flat, level, and hard-standing surface suitable for offloading the pallet
Sufficient space for the HGV to manoeuvre safely near the delivery point
Domestic Deliveries: For residential addresses, the delivery vehicle will have a tail-lift to assist with unloading where possible. However, tail-lift offloading cannot be guaranteed for all locations. Customers may need to unload the pallet manually (handballing) or arrange for a forklift or assistance on-site.
Delivery Address: Please ensure the delivery address provided can accommodate an HGV, and any necessary permissions or arrangements for access are in place (e.g., notifying property management or neighbours if needed).
