The Great Benefits of Living Fences
Here are just a few…
Provide Privacy, Shade and Wind Protection
Besides enjoying the privacy provided by a dense hedge, living fences also create shade and are great windbreakers. By blocking summer sun and winter winds, they improve both comfort and energy efficiency.
Create Habitat, Improve Air Quality and Provide Visual Appeal
Not only do living fences provide year-round habitat for wildlife, they also absorb carbon and aid in reducing air pollution. As well, evergreen hedges provide visual interest, often changing subtly through the seasons.
More Economical and Last Longer Than Man-Made Fences
Installing a hedge can often be done yourself, and are most often less expensive than contructing a wood or vinyl fence. With the proper site and a little care, living fences can also last far longer than manufactured ones.
This customer started their Thuja ‘Green Giant’ hedge with some of our 2 – 3 footers in 2022 and have come back for more each year since then. Looks like their living fence is filling in very nicely!

WASTE REDUCTION
Made from recycled plastic water bottles and natural fibres. Root Pouch diverts almost 41 million water bottles from landfill every year. No more non-recyclable black plastic pots!
BETTER ROOT GROWTH
Creates a dense, fibrous root system and helps prevent the circling and girdling of roots which can result in poor health after transplanting.
REDUCED WATER USE
Can cut down water use by as much as 50% over plastic air pot containers. Driplines in pots reduce evaporation.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Reduces the temperature fluctuations commonly found in plastic pots, reducing stress on developing root systems.
