A Company that truly lives up to its name!
I have ordered hedging plants on three separate occasions now. The first was three years ago and the fact that all the trees are healthy and growing well is testament to the quality and delivery service.
Unfortunately one tree in my second order had been damaged during the lifting process in the nursery. After a phone call & photo to customer service this was promptly made good with a couple of additional plants in compensation.
My third and latest order was exactly as requested.
Prompt despatch, good delivery , and quality plants.Excellent service all round.

Swift replacement
I have measured the plants and they are supposed to be 80/100cm from the root collar however not one of the 20 I ordered is more than 70cm from the root collar. Clearly the two packs of 10 are different heights. Whilst I was disappointed the plants have been swiftly replaced with correctly sized ones. Many thanks

Top Quality Hedging
The bare root hedging plants we received were brilliant and great value. They were packed really well and so arrived in top condition and have taken really well after planting.
Would definitely recommend best4hedging.

Everything was fine with my order for beech hedging except, possibly because it was the end of the season, you sent larger plants than I had ordered. They were a little harder to plant as I find digging difficult.

Hi Mary, thank you for your feedback! 🌱 We’re glad your beech hedging order arrived safely and met your expectations 😊. We completely understand that the larger plants were a bit trickier to plant, and we appreciate you letting us know, your comments help us improve for future seasons! Ella, Customer Care.
Timeliness
It was important to me that my order would be delivered in 3-5 working days. It arrived a day late after a really lovely customer services person chased it.
I recieved notification about the delivery the day after it had arrived.

Please refer to my delivery complaint
Please refer to my delivery complaint. DPD driver Russell delivered my order to the wrong STREET delivering to an address where the person was working off shore for FOUR weeks. Their neighbour who had just lost the father ! Thought it was strange that a parcel would lie there until this guy came off duty intended to look after the package but checked the address and kindly brought this to my house. Driver was a disgrace,their “call Centre” was pathetic. I just hope the hedges don’t die and my complaint response stated response times are poor given the delicate nature of your business. Unhappy

Hi Kenneth, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the distress caused by this delivery. This is not the level of service we expect from our courier partners, and we completely understand your frustration, especially given the circumstances you’ve described. Delivering to the wrong street and the lack of effective support is unacceptable, and while we’re grateful a kind neighbour ensured your parcel reached you, this should never have happened. Please be assured we are raising this issue with the courier to help prevent a repeat, and as a gesture of goodwill we have refunded your delivery charge. We’re also sorry for the delay in responding to your complaint and appreciate your feedback, particularly given the perishable nature of your order, as we continue working to improve both delivery reliability and response times. Ella, Customer Care.

A bad experience
A bad experience. Ordered hedging bare root plants. 7 days later had an email to say that they had been despatched. Did not arrive after 3 days so I tracked the item. Courier had not received the plants. Got an email from best4hedging asking me to do a review now that I had received the plants ! Phoned the company and, they had not been despatched
Right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. Poor service. Will not use again
