At King & Co, we stock pleached Cherry laurel, Photinia Red Robin and Hornbeam, with frame sizes ranging from 1 to 1.5 metres (depending on the variety). In our guide to pleached trees, we will introduce these options and explain how they can be planted to increase privacy and block views from overlooking, neighbouring properties.
What are the benefits of planting pleached trees?
Pleached trees have a more formal screening shape than the natural growth of traditional hedges. These trees are an excellent choice for those looking to enhance privacy, as they establish an instant screen without taking up valuable garden space. Their defining qualities include their effectiveness in enhancing privacy, defining boundaries, providing year-round structure and making efficient use of space!



Customer Case Studies


We recently completed an installation for a customer who wanted to enhance the privacy and shade around their new build property. To meet their needs, we installed eight pleached hornbeam trees along the hedge line. They were planted at 1.5m centres to create a seamless, ‘touching’ finish.

Hopefully our guide to pleached trees was helpful. For further advice contact the King & Co team, we can advise the best trees for screening your garden with just a few photos and measurements!
