If you live on the coast there are several challenging to overcome when it comes to planting trees: strong winds, fast-draining soils and salt-laden winds. Many trees will not survive such a hostile environment, but a few will be fine and look great. If your garden is particularly exposed, good tree planting and dense hedging will act as a windbreak for the whole the garden.

If you can’t find the tree your looking for, please get in touch and we’ll source it for you.
