🌲 How Many Hedging Plants Do I Need?

One of the most common questions when planting a new hedge is:

“How many hedging plants will I need for my garden?”

The answer depends on the length of your hedge, the type of plants you’re using and the distance between each plant.

Our new hedging plant calculator takes the guesswork out of planning.

Simply enter your hedge length in metres, select your preferred plant spacing and choose whether you want a single or double row.

The calculator will instantly estimate how many plants you’ll need!

🌳 Example: Planting a 10-Metre Hedge

If you’re planning a 10-metre hedge with plants spaced approximately 50cm apart:

  • 📏 Hedge length: 10 metres
  • 🌱 Plant spacing: 50cm
  • 🌲 Planting style: Single row
  • ✅ Estimated plants required: 20 plants

It’s that simple!

Remember that different hedging varieties may require different spacing, depending on their growth habits and the density you’re hoping to achieve.

🌸 Planning a Flower Bed or Garden Border?

Our calculator isn’t just for hedging!

You can also use it to estimate how many shrubs, flowering plants or dwarf conifers you’ll need for a garden border or planting area.

Simply enter the area in square metres and choose your preferred spacing.

It’s particularly useful when planning areas with:

  • 🌸 Dwarf Azaleas and Rhododendrons
  • 🌿 Hebe Shrubs
  • 🌲 Dwarf Conifers
  • 🌺 Pieris Shrubs
  • 💜 Heather Plants
  • 🌱 Evergreen Garden Shrubs

Our calculator can help you avoid ordering too few plants or buying more than your garden needs.
