Half of the bare root hedging plants failed over a severe winter; frosts, high winds, saturating rains, etc. Contacted their helpdesk who asked for photos. Was pleasantly surprised when a lady (Debbie) phoned saying 'you don't look to have done anything wrong' and without question offered to replace all of the affected plants. Had to pay postage, but that was modest and reasonable. Through my personal experience, I would highly recommend this company.
Ordered 10 hornbeam bare roots only received 9 so emailed them and had no response Order number HDW00577005
Hedges arrived looking really healthy, exceeded my expectations.
Thank you . 20 lavender plants arrived today , well packaged & very healthy . I’m delighted
Excellent quality hedging which was planted a couple of years ago and has grown really well. Nice people to deal with and the website contains good advice.
Really good company to deal with. Had slight problem with delivery but all was good after contacting them. The res5 of my order was delivered next day. Will be ordering more ‘stuff’ over the next few months 😀
Such good service! We ordered 13 English yew plants in June. 2,maybe 3 failed after being professionally planted and leaky hose watered through the summer. I contacted HD and they replaced two for just £15.99 courier cost and threw in a bag of plant food for the third tree. I wish all firms offered such exemplary service and customer care!
I have ordered several times from this company, the latest 2 pyracantha red, arrived in a few day well packed and in lovely condition larger than expected lovely and tall and green. Many thanks
WOW! Happy with all my healthy plants that were delivered today. Excellent packing and fast to arrive. Honestly just blown away by how nice they all the plants look! It’s raining but I am going out to plant! SHOP HERE DISCOVER GOOD PLANTS. And if you are from hedges direct and reading this … thank you ! I will be bark!
Hedges Direct were a superb company to deal with from start to finish. Christine (in sales) was so helpful and patient with my enquiry (around 500 shrubs). Ordering was smooth with an almost instantaneous confirmation, which gave confidence dealing with an online company. I was also kept up-to-date with my order along the way. Delivery didn't quite go to plan (something I'm hesitant to mention as I would hate to put people off using this company as I can't recommend them highly enough)... but, problems will always occur in life - things don't always go to plan - how people/a business deals with a problem speaks volumes, and the service received from both Hedges Direct and their Courier when my plants didn't arrive as expected, was second to none, and by the following morning I was made a priority and received my shrubs (plus phone updates from both) first thing! The shrubs themselves were impressively packaged on just 3 crates... I did a count this evening - having ordered 480 shrubs, I received 485!! How good is that! Presumably to allow for any damage in transit (there was none) but I really liked this attitude! Shrubs also arrived in great health etc and were far better than I expected them to be... I just hope I can manage to maintain the care that they received prior to arriving with me so that they flourish in their new environment.
Avoid! Accepted 2 of my plants have failed about £40...but want to charge me £16 foe delivery! Very disappointing, another company that wants your money but wont help when things go wrong. Will not buy from again...avoid as abysmal customer service
I purchased 28 Griselinia plants to plant a small hedge. The plants were very reasonably priced compared to local garden centres. The delivery was on time and all the plants looked in exceptional condition. I planted them early October 2023 and they’ve flourished! After trimming them in early spring, they grew so much they had to be trimmed again in July! I wasn’t sure about trimming again given the time of year and age of the plants so emailed hedges direct for some advice. The next day, they called to offer the advice which I needed. Excellent service from the start, I would highly recommend them.
This is the third time i have now ordered from Hedges direct and i continue to be impressed with both the quality and speed of service. Excellent service again and great quality plants.
I ordered 72 Portuguese Laurel hedging plants from Hedges Direct. I initially had some difficulty with their website charging me for my order, but a mail to customer service in the evening, was answered by 9.30am the next day and my issue resolved. All plants arrived on the Saturday after being ordered on the Thursday. They were in 1 box, laid sideways and seperated in layers. The plants look healthy and I will definitley use Hedges Direct in the future.
Ordered a total of 40 large yew hedges for my garden. Was nervous as this is a very big purchase for us. Hedges direct were great, good communication and polite. Delivery did have a hiccup but this was the pallet companies fault and when I rang customer service for Hedges direct they dealt with this swiftly. The hedges themselves are lovely quality and we are so pleased with them already.
Great customer service. One of my boxes of plants had been tipped up……. Despite clear instructions on the box. I rang customer services who dealt with it immediately. I would definitely buy from them again and have no hesitation recommending them.
Received replacement plants for some that had failed last year, they have unfortunately failed again, without planting them out this time and Hedges Direct aren't interested now. Very disappointing, another company that wants your money but wont help when things go wrong. Will not buy from again
Super quick delivery! Plants were nicely packaged and healthy. Overall I’m very pleased. Will be purchasing again!
Ordered 22 plants on Saturday and delivery arrived on Wednesday. Plants look fine, however, they all turned up side down in the box. I need to plant them immediately.
