Why Move a Mature Hedge?
Modern development increasingly calls for natural solutions that go beyond traditional walls and fences. A mature hedge offers an immediate, multi-functional benefit to any location, providing:
Noise reduction through natural sound absorption. Enhanced privacy and security without the harshness of hard barrier. Improved air quality through carbon capture and pollution filtration. Increased biodiversity by supporting birds, insects, and pollinators. Instant visual impact that matures a new development from day one
For housebuilders and developers, relocating existing hedging instead of replacing it, means instant landscape maturity, faster planning approvals and tangible sustainability credentials that resonate with modern buyers.
Precision Relocation by Experts
Ruskins are experts in the science of hedge relocation. Our process begins with a full assessment of species, age and condition to ensure successful transplantation.
Using the latest state-of-the-art machinery, our teams carefully lift each hedge with an intact root ball, securing it within a protective frame to preserve root health. Every stage — from extraction to replanting, is designed to minimise stress and maximise long-term survival.
Once replanted, we apply bespoke aftercare, ensuring your hedge continues to thrive and deliver the environmental benefits that make it such a valuable asset.
