Artificial Hedge

High-quality artificial hedging for homes and gardens

High-quality artificial hedging is ideal for creating privacy, covering a fence, adding greenery to patios or making balconies feel less exposed. An artificial hedge can also break up a larger garden space, soften hard surfaces and add lush colour all year round.

Choose boxwood, buxus, ivy, rosemary or interior foliage depending on the look you want. Boxwood and buxus suit neat artificial box-hedge screening, while fern- and meadow-style screens create a softer indoor feature. Some products are designed for outdoor use, others for indoor use, and some offer UV protection or flame resistance.

Most synthetic foliage resists fading and weather-related degradation, and our high-quality artificial hedges are treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading; they are designed to withstand typical UK weather!

Check the product details before ordering so the artificial hedge you choose is the right match for your place. Remember, all our hedges can be made completely bespoke to whatever you need; if you can’t find what you are looking for in our range, we can build you the perfect hedge!

Bespoke artificial hedges by Evergreen

Bespoke artificial hedges by Evergreen are a practical choice if standard panels or troughs do not fit your space. Tell us your measurements, style, colour ideas, and budget, and our team can help build an artificial hedge design tailored to your requirements.

This is useful for unusual fence lengths, commercial displays, privacy dividers, garden boundaries, entrances and planters where a made-to-measure finish will look better than cutting standard panels to fit.

Bespoke artificial hedges are chosen for a realistic, natural appearance, with foliage options that can enhance a home, office, hospitality venue or retail setting.

Redesign your outdoor space using artificial hedging

Artificial hedging can transform a garden without the time and worry that come with watering, pruning and seasonal fading. It is a strong solution for shaded areas, poor soil, awkward corners and places where real plants struggle to grow.

For privacy, a trough hedge gives height and structure. For a fence, artificial hedge panels are usually the easiest option to attach and repeat along the surface. For a decorative wall or balcony, a faux hedge screen can add texture without taking up much floor space, while artificial green wall panels suit larger vertical features.

Fake hedging will not offer the wildlife value of natural planting, but it is ideal if you need dependable, year-round greenery with very little upkeep.

Install an artificial hedge in your garden

Start by measuring the width and height of the area you want to cover. This helps you choose the right size, calculate how many panels or trough hedges you need and reduce waste. Most artificial hedge panels can be connected to and attached to a fence, wall, or suitable frame using cable ties, screws, or fixings suitable for the surface.

Check that each artificial hedge panel is secure before moving to the next one. If you are creating a longer run, keep the foliage direction consistent so the finish looks even. Around patios, balconies and decking, mixing artificial hedges with planters, real plants or outdoor artificial plants at the edges can make the overall design look more natural.

Frequently asked questions

Are artificial hedges any good?

Yes, high-quality artificial hedges are a good option when you want instant privacy, year-round greenery and minimal upkeep. They do not need watering, pruning or trimming, making them useful for shaded areas, balconies, fences, patios and commercial spaces where real planting is difficult to maintain.

Where can I buy fake hedges for outdoors?

You can buy artificial hedges for outdoors directly from Evergreen Direct online. Check the individual product details before ordering, as some artificial hedge products are designed for outdoor use, and selected options include UV protection where applicable.

How long does an artificial hedge last?

The lifespan of an artificial hedge depends on the product specification, whether it is used indoors or outdoors, and how exposed it is to sun, wind and rain. UV-protected options are designed to help reduce fading when outdoors, while occasional cleaning and secure installation can help the foliage retain its shape and appearance longer.

What is the best artificial hedge for privacy?

The best artificial hedge for privacy depends on the area you need to screen. Trough hedges give height and structure, artificial hedge panels are useful for covering fences or walls, and bespoke artificial hedges work well when you need a made-to-measure size or a more tailored finish.

What is a synthetic hedge?

A synthetic hedge is another name for an artificial hedge or faux hedge. It uses manufactured foliage, often in panels, troughs, or screens, to create the look of real hedging without the need for soil, watering, pruning, or seasonal plant care.

Do Evergreen Direct sell trailing plants as well as artificial hedges?

Yes. Evergreen Direct also supplies artificial trailing and ivy plants, which can work well alongside artificial hedges, green walls and planters if you want a fuller planting design for a balcony, garden, interior or commercial display.
