Our Collection
Topiary
Hedgeworx specialises in architectural topiary and mature specimen trees for private gardens and large estate landscapes. Our collection spans classic forms through to bespoke sculptural pieces.
These are substantial living forms requiring careful handling, transport, and establishment. Each piece is considered a living work of art, defined by proportion, character, and permanence.

Frequently Asked Questions
We supply a superb selection of mature topiary in a vast range of shapes and sizes — spirals, cones, beehives, domes, low domes, cylinders, cubes, pyramids, balls, pillows and bespoke sculptural forms. Popular species include Yew (Taxus baccata), Box (Buxus sempervirens), Beech (Fagus sylvatica), Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), Holly (Ilex), Pine, Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica), Holm Oak (Quercus ilex), Bay (Laurus nobilis) and Ilex crenata. We offer topiary balls up to 2.5 metres in diameter and cones up to 5 metres tall.
It can take decades and even centuries to produce the finest pieces. Every piece of bespoke topiary has been carefully crafted and hand-clipped over many years — sometimes even decades — to give it a special shape and unique identity. We have teamed up with a handful of carefully selected partner nurseries to grow and train traditional and contemporary stock for UK gardens.
Yes. We are frequently called upon to search for bespoke plants to fit seamlessly into a particular garden space. Whether you need a specific size, an unusual form, or a matched pair, we work with our network of specialist growers to source or commission pieces to your specification. We have supplied pieces exceeding 500cm in height and weighing several tons.
If you can maintain a hedge then you can maintain topiary too! While the larger mature pieces are available as rootball plants only, we offer a large selection of potted plants for year-round planting. Yew and Beech prefer free-draining soil and will not tolerate waterlogging. Hornbeam will happily tolerate less well-drained conditions. We supply detailed care guidance with every piece.
Large pieces of tree topiary start at 3 metres tall and we have previously supplied specimens up to 8 metres tall. Some weigh more than 6 tons and require cranes, telehandlers and large excavators to offload and plant. We manage all specialist equipment in-house to ensure safe handling from nursery to final position.
Yes. Due to the age and magnificence of the best mature topiary, they must be lifted with very large, heavy rootballs and require specialist handling skills and machinery. Our team provides a full planting service across the UK — we have supplied to Sandringham, Chartwell and even the Coronation of King Charles. We are SafeContractor accredited for health and safety excellence.
