What does HedgeScape offer?
HedgeScape provides premium artificial hedge panels, feature walls, privacy screening and custom hedging solutions.
Where can artificial hedging be used?
It can be used in homes, offices, gardens, on fences and balconies, and in restaurants, event spaces and commercial areas.
Can artificial hedging be used outdoors?
Many artificial hedge products are designed for outdoor use, but suitability depends on the specific product, exposure, support structure and installation method. Ask HedgeScape to confirm the recommended product and written warranty terms for your site.
Does artificial hedging need maintenance?
Artificial hedging generally needs less routine upkeep than live planting because it does not require watering, trimming or fertilising. Outdoor installations may still need occasional cleaning and inspection of fixings or support structures.
Can HedgeScape help me choose the right style?
Yes. Send photos, approximate measurements and your preferred look, and HedgeScape can help recommend a suitable option.
Is artificial hedging suitable for businesses?
Yes. It works well in restaurants, offices, reception areas, canteens, courtyards, event venues and commercial feature walls.
Can I request a quote on WhatsApp?
Yes. Contact HedgeScape on WhatsApp and send the project details needed for a quotation.
What information should I send for a quote?
Send clear photos, approximate width and height measurements, your location, whether the area is indoors or outdoors, and the style you prefer.
Are trade prices available?
Trade prices are available on request. Contact HedgeScape for current trade pricing and the requirements needed to qualify.
What warranty is listed for the artificial hedging?
HedgeScape advertises a 5-year outdoor warranty and an 8-year indoor warranty on its hedging range. Coverage, exclusions and remedies are governed by the written warranty and sales documents supplied for the order.
If I do a single-sided hedge or wall extension, what will my neighbour see?
The front is where the magic happens! Our single-sided hedges are designed to look stunning from your side. The rear has a visible support structure in the case of a wall extension and simply the backing of the hedge panel in the case of an existing clear fence. In some installations, a black weed barrier is added for screening. If you’d like a beautiful finish on both sides, ask us about our double-sided options.
How soon can you install for me?
After the required deposit is received, the project can be added to the installation schedule. Timing depends on current bookings, stock, project size, custom fabrication, access and weather, so the confirmed quotation or project communication should be used for the actual date.
Do you deliver for supply-only orders?
We can arrange delivery depending on where you are situated.
Why choose artificial hedging instead of real plants?
Artificial hedging can provide immediate screening and greenery without watering, trimming or fertilising. It is a low-maintenance alternative, although outdoor installations may still require cleaning and checks over time.
Will artificial hedging look fake?
The range is selected for natural-looking colour variation, texture and foliage density. Appearance is subjective and can vary by product, lighting, viewing distance and installation, so viewing samples or project photographs before ordering is recommended.
Can the panels be cut to fit around lights, pipes or odd-shaped spaces?
Panels can often be trimmed and shaped around lights, pipes and irregular areas, provided the backing, fixings, access and required finish allow it. Complex cut-outs should be assessed before installation.
Can I mix different hedge styles in one project?
Different foliage styles can be combined where their panel systems, colours and intended use are compatible. The project gallery includes examples of mixed-foliage designs.
Can you install it for me, or is it DIY-friendly?
Many panel installations can be DIY-friendly on a suitable, stable surface. Custom hedges, wall extensions, difficult access, structural supports or complex finishing are better assessed and installed by an experienced team.
Can hedging be installed on any wall or fence?
Installation is possible on many walls and fences, but not every surface is automatically suitable. The structure, condition, material, height, exposure, access and fixing method must be assessed first.
How long will it last, and will the colour fade in the sun?
Our hedging carries a 5-year outdoor warranty and an 8-year indoor warranty. The products are UV-stabilised to improve resistance to sun-related colour change; however, as with any outdoor material, gradual weathering or colour variation may occur over time depending on exposure, climate, installation and care. Warranty coverage is subject to the written warranty terms.
Is planning permission required to extend my wall with artificial hedging?
Wall-height regulations vary between municipalities and estates. If you’re considering a wall extension, we recommend checking with your local authority or homeowners’ association before installation.
Why choose HedgeScape?
HedgeScape focuses on artificial hedging, project guidance, supply and installation for Gauteng spaces. Product choice, workmanship scope, pricing and warranty should be confirmed in the written quotation for each project.
Does artificial hedging attract insects?
Artificial foliage does not produce pollen or nectar, so it does not attract insects for those reasons. Insects may still shelter on or behind any outdoor structure depending on the surrounding environment and maintenance.
I struggle to visualise how something will look. Can you do a mock-up to help me?
Depending on the project and the quality of the photographs supplied, HedgeScape may be able to assist with a visual mock-up. A mock-up is illustrative and is not an exact guarantee of colour, scale or final appearance.
Can you help design a wall or project if I give you my ideas?
HedgeScape can assist with design direction and proposals based on the information supplied. Final feasibility, measurements, materials, approvals and pricing must be confirmed before work begins.
