About HedgeLife
We are passionate about improving the UK’s hedgerow and tree network. Working for farmers, landowners and domestic clients we plant, lay and coppice hedges and plant trees. We can also help with grant schemes and advice to help get the best out of your hedges.
Hedge planting
Planting a new hedge or gapping up an existing one can offer a range of benefits from carbon sequestration and habitat improvement to increased privacy and security for your home of land. Our planting system is optimised to give protection against drought and help ensure plant establishment. Full grant funding available through CSS Capital Grants.
Hedgelaying
Our skilled team can carry out this centuries old technique to rejuvenate and thicken an established hedge. Full grant funding available through CSS Capital Grants.
Coppicing
Coppicing can be a great way to rejuvenate an overstood hedge. We ensure a high standard of work including angled cuts on stools to help good regrowth. Coppicing can be used in combination with gapping up very effectively. Full grant funding available through CSS Capital Grants.

Farmers & Landowners: plan ahead to make the most of hedgerow and tree grants
There has never been a better time to plant or restore trees and hedges on your farm.
Grant support is often available for this kind of work, funding pots are often limited and can be taken up quickly. Because opportunities open and close throughout the year, it pays to plan projects well in advance so you’re ready to apply as soon as funding becomes available.
Grant payment rates in many cases can cover most or even all of the cost – but success depends on acting promptly when new schemes launch.
