Planting projects often need large numbers of trees and hedging plants — sometimes specific species, sizes, or mixes that aren’t always easy to source at short notice. That’s where our contract growing service comes in.
By working with us in advance, we can grow exactly what you need, ready for when you need it.
Why Choose Contract Growing?
🌱 Guaranteed Availability
When you contract grow with us, your plants are reserved and grown specifically for your project. No risk of last-minute shortages or substitutions.
🌍 The Right Species, The Right Mix
We can grow bespoke mixes of native and non-native species to meet your project’s requirements — whether for biodiversity, landscape character, stewardship schemes, or design specifications.
📅 Timed to Your Project
Because we plan ahead, your plants will be ready at the right time of year, giving you peace of mind that planting can go ahead as scheduled.
💷 Cost-Effective
Contract growing helps keep costs predictable and competitive, especially for larger projects. You avoid premium prices that can come with late-season buying.
✅ Meets Specification
We grow to the required specifications for Countryside Stewardship (BN7/BN11) and other grant schemes, ensuring your project is compliant.
🤝 Personal Service
As a Northumberland-based grower, we’re small enough to offer a flexible, tailored service but large enough to deliver at scale.
Who Benefits from Contract Growing?
- Councils & Developers – large-scale landscaping and infrastructure planting.
- Farms & Estates – shelterbelts, field boundaries, stewardship schemes.
- Landscapers & Contractors – guaranteed stock for time-critical projects.
- Community Groups – long-term planting projects with specific goals.
Why Work With Us?
At Northumberland Trees and Hedging we specialise in cell-grown, peat-free trees and hedging. This means:
- Plants establish quickly and survive at higher rates than bare root.
- Sustainability is built in, with peat-free compost and environmentally friendly practices.
- We grow locally, supply nationally, and support our customers every step of the way.
